S01 - Black Elk (Axis) vs. MagicQ (Allies + 11)

[Black_Elk]

Not sure. I saw a few test rolls.

It’s not a huge deal to me. Just take the 4 for the battleship if you like. Or try again if you prefer. Whatever works

[MagicQ]

Thx. I will do it again for the sake of convenience.

[Black_Elk]

Ugh my brand new factory already max damaged? Bummer. Seems somehow fitting that my first tournament game would be this abysmal. Alas

OK here goes

[Black_Elk]

Perhaps we could pick up the pace a bit? Dedo and rmorel started last week and they’re already on round 6, bound to jump ahead of us any day now if we keep it this slow and go. I know you like to calc and plan and whatnot, as evidenced by the Anwhei debacle I’ve been facing down hehe, but we’re kind of lagging. I think I’m taking the game rather less seriously, because its taking forever.
:-D

Anyway, Russia is still up. I’ll come back later when you start the round

Russians defending brilliantly as always. Germans failed to take Karelia.
To shocked and demoralized to move the African units on non com, I edited them into place.

I should go and get lottery. Never felt so lucky! It’s already midnight here. Time for bed.  Will try to do UK if not woozy but not sure.

[Black_Elk]

Neah don’t worry about it dude. Get some rest, maybe it’ll give those dice a chance to cool down heheh.
:-D

The fighters in Anwhei are already making my head spin as is. I don’t know that I’ve seen an fighter stack that deep in China this late in a game. The Japanese are hopelessly stalled. Serves them right for thinking they could push early. The flying tigers are clearly balking at the Manchuria move.

Catch you tomorrow

Man I can’t even believe how poorly Japan has played. Just terrible, truly terrible. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they’ve lost every single important combat/trade/roll since the game began. Its a personal record for mismanagement, botched plans, and battlefield ineptitude. Worthless tank, curse you to a shallow grave! hehe

Back to USA

[MagicQ]

I have to say anything can happen in dice. So no point get upset by that.

[Black_Elk]

Yeah  I’m not really upset by the dice. I have nobody to blame but myself hehe. The truth is that I made some rather regrettable assumptions about your level of experience based on the bid and the way UK opened. You’re playing an excellent game, whereas I set myself up for dissapointment with decisions I made on J1. And then really screwed myself with lackluster positioning by both Axis powers the following round. Basically I backed myself into a corner, into a situation where now I actually need the rolls to have any chance of recovery, and of course that’s never where Axis want to be lol.

Don’t worry, I’ll play to the last. Hurling bodies at the problem until the final defeat.
