15L G40 Boldfresh (Allies+16) vs JuanSpain (Axis) REMATCH

[boldfresh]

@Boldfresh:

If axis makes no major errors and the dice go at all in their favor they are tough to beat.

The one gigantic error you did make I allowed you to reverse which will probably eliminate me from playoff contention so I hope you are grateful at least  :-)

[JuanSpain]

I am gratefull, you played as a gent, you know I would have done the same for you.

[JuanSpain]

However, you will be in the play-offs, for sure.

[boldfresh]

@JuanSpain:

However, you will be in the play-offs, for sure.

Doubtful but if I don’t make it I will not be disappointed - my year only gets more and more jammed.

[boldfresh]

dang it juan - you made an illegal move on I13.  you cannot activate saudi arabia and move into trj with the tank.  it has to stop when it activates saudi arabia.

with moscow providing no resistance there is truly less than no hope.

[boldfresh]

J dau seems to be confused about my dice comments so in case you are as well here is my clarification. I am NOT saying that I am losing this game because I am getting diced. What I am saying is that the reason I continued is because there was plenty of dice to be rolled and if I happen to get a lucky outcome, such as what you got in game 1 which changed the entire course of the game, I could have still made it competitive.what I am saying is that the dice for the axis have not ever resulted in disaster. the reason I was continuing was in hopes of a dice disaster for the axis. Giving you 80 percent on Moscow when I didn’t need to do so was in hopes have you taking the battle and getting an unlucky roll. I thought all this stuff was pretty obvious but J dau doesn’t see it that way.

[JuanSpain]

I understand and I agree with you, dice disasters gave me second life in game 1, then the Japan strategy was nice I think. Here, you had less concentration, I was playing very long term and and with very rarelly opposed dice, so from a certain point in time, the only hope was luck in dice, however, I made a serious mistake that you authorised correcting in NCM and this proves once again that you are a gentleman.
If you don´t make the play-offs this year, I would be very happy to have your advice in strategy in my games.
