13L G40 Gamerman01 vs Steveo (Allies +11)

[Guest]

I’ll need scramble orders for sz 112, and then I’ll go round by round for ool in sz26 unless you just want me to go max def for you.

[gamerman01]

No, I can’t scramble to Z112 or I am likely to lose Berlin  :-)
Yes max defense in Z26

You apparently don’t realize that you have 100% chance of losing with this combat move.  Japan has 6 victory cities and Allies have 1 round to retake 1.  The only one you can possibly retake is Hawaii.  You need to try an amphibious assault on Hawaii using units on California, because failure to take Hawaii right now is game over  :-)

[gamerman01]

Just realized I am not being completely clear.

You have my permission to change your combat move to include landing the tank, mech, and infantry from WUS on Hawaii.  Failure to take over Hawaii is game over

@Gamerman01:

Failure to take over Hawaii is game over

Sorry Steveo - never fun words to hear.

[Guest]

Damn like I said been awhile since I played, completely forgot Hawaii was a VC or I would have just blocked it off last turn!! Lol oh well live and learn I’ll redo the attack with the hail mary on Hawaii.

Well I guess that’s all then, pretty upset with myself for forgetting the VC’s, a shame the game had to end that way.

Well played I will save the time of the next round and concede now.

[JDOW]

Great game Steveo, I cant remember any Allied player how put gamerman under such big pressure. A more conservative US5 not taking all money islands but securing Hawaii and you would have been in the greatest shape anyone had ever been playing Gamerman having the Axis.

Good job!

[JDOW]

Not saying you would have won for sure by the way;)

[gamerman01]

Shoot, sucks to lose that way, but JDOW has already said it well.  I’d better take it if I can get it.  And on the bright side, it will never happen to you again!

Thanks for the fun game and for the good sportsmanship, if you want a rematch I may be able to accomodate
