G40: Caesar1 (Allies, USA +14/turn) vs. teslas

[teslas]

I’m still alive. I’ve had a couple RL games of axis and allies over the past week to sate my desire to play, and my lunch breaks the last week were taken up by crap.

I’ll move us along when I get a chance, sir.

[Caesar1]

Ok, don’t worry.
What’s the SBRs go against Russia?
I think 75% odds for a game-battle is too risky if I were you and Germany has still a lot of options to counterattack in every cm/inches of Europe. This is because Germany has still the entire Luftwaffe (and more) since without bid (this is the other face of the coin) you have no british fleet to sink on the second turn. Your choice not to take normandy is a wise one.

[teslas]

Still don’t have a lot of time to nerd out over this game, and the longer I wait to take my turn the longer it takes me to remember what’s going on :p

I don’t understand your first question.

75% is very risky for a game that people have sunk hours and hours into, yes, but it’s high enough odds in my opinion to go for it, as the alternative is not very bright if America makes a landing on the shores of europe somewhere (probably Norway unless you see something smarter than that (and if so, please share)).

[Caesar1]

@teslas:

A lot depends on how the SBRs go against Russia.

[teslas]

I was saying how the future of the game depends on how the dice fall on the SBRs against Russia. If you manage to shoot down two bombers and suffer 0 factory damage, that’s great for the allies. If you lose a fighter and then suffer 15 damage, that’s great for the axis.

The time for luck affecting the rest of the game is now.

[Caesar1]

Did you manage to have a look to my last move? Do you think you can continue the game?

[teslas]

Yeah, just hit a few busy patches in life. We’re definitely going to finish this.

I had to take the risk on the SBR against Moscow. The other option was killing those two russian mechs, but if I roll well on the SBR it could be a game-changer.

[Caesar1]

Ok, don’t worry, take your time if you need more.
Moscow fighters fly to intercept.

[teslas]

Well, there’s Japan’s turn, finally, for better or worse. There are a few things you can be starting to do that will really piss in my cheerios, so here’s hoping you don’t do any of them.

And fair warning, Fallout 4 just came out!

[teslas]

I take it now you’re too busy with Fallout 4 to take your turn? :p

[Caesar1]

No, I’m not a fallout player. I was only thinking about the different kind of options I have now.

[Caesar1]

I think I now things you don’t want me to do, but I can’t do them right now unless I want to waste troops
