14L Playoff R1 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Gamerman (Allies +22)

[gamerman01]

OK, I just pulled the trigger on that UK move too quickly.  I also had no intention of leaving the destroyer in 39.  Assuming it had zero affect on your Italian decisions, I’m moving it to 76.  Sorry, very uncharacteristic

[wheatbeer]

That’s fine

[gamerman01]

Sorry, would have posted sooner, but couldn’t get into the site.

It’s NOT fine, because that destroyer could get into the Med, which does affect Italy  :-)

I decided it can just be left in 39 - it’s not a bad move, so I’ll stick with my oversight.

@Gamerman01:

Ouch, Wheat.  Well, it was a real nice run with the bones you had, but it finally comes to an end.  Hopefully.

Japan just had a perfect turn … indecisive dice gods at work.

[gamerman01]

I would be depressed if I looked up the record of my defending ground units so far this game.  Including a whiff in France first turn.  The ONE HIT was by the fighter.  What am I going to do with you?

[gamerman01]

I was going to point out that you could pick a different casualty in 114 if you wanted, and you have the option of landing your tactical in Germany instead of Poland

[wheatbeer]

casualty and landing for 114 were what I’d have picked

[gamerman01]

Japan reloads on fighters and has lost almost no one on any of the front lines, even picking off a Russian in Siberia
Now what to do…
