Teslas (Allies) vs Private Panic (Axis) in 1940 Global

[teslas]

Oof. Regret it you shall.

Yeah, now that I look at it again, you pretty much have to try for Moscow next turn. I don’t know what I was saying earlier. There’s just too much allied economy to delay for any reason.

Hit Moscow, take your 10-50% chance or whatever it is, and that will decide if the game is over or not!

I forgot to not include my subs in the non-com to Japan. They are worthless in the Pacific now, so I wanted to send them to the Atlantic. I edited the move in.

Alrighty, let’s see this Moscow crash!

And you shouldn’t have moved your North African Italians away from Tunisia because they were covering Libya. That’s +4 more IPCs for Russia for free.

That went well!

Odds were 22% only, so needed some luck. Did not get it!

I surrender tes! Even if I had taken Moscow I probably had no chance in ay case. Congratulations to the victor!

Are you up for another one?

[teslas]

Good game, sir. I graciously and humbly accept your surrender.

I would very much like to play another game, but I am going to need to ask for you to wait for a little while before we begin. I have another game going a the moment, and I’m keeping my opponent waiting too long as it is.

I’ll send you a PM when I’m ready, and if you don’t hear from me in the next couple of weeks, please, by all means, message me.

[Private-Panic]

Okay tes - let me know when you are in a position to play.

Looking forward to it! :-)
