16L G40 Stalingradski (Allies +23) vs Talleyrand19 (Axis)

[Stalingradski]

if you’re unsure, ask the moderators. I’m 99.9% confident in my answer…  :-)

[Talleyrand19]

okay that’s what I thought, just checking, thanks

[Talleyrand19]

it makes sense that way too…since you can’t take out a destroyer block and then go invade an island because it’s NCM moves only

[Talleyrand19]

no more complaining allowed ever hah…my fighters got TWO HITS in the first round in Russia…now Germany can’t even take it without great rolling…and in my other game I lost a 75% chance of taking Moscow convincingly…the dice are going to make me hate Axis and Allies forever

[Stalingradski]

I’m sorry for it happening - have you ever played low luck? It takes away all but the remainder for dice rolls, makes everything more predictable.

[Talleyrand19]

I haven’t, but my current games have me thinking about it…this one is over now between us…I was already in trouble but at least could’ve taken Russia with Germany if the planes rolled somewhat averge…we can play it out a bit more but not sure how much longer I can last

[Stalingradski]

I’ll play on - let me know what you’d like to do.

I agree that once the Middle East fell, you needed to kick Russia’s backside to have a chance to win. I was prepared for you to own the middle of the board, with me nibbling at the edges for an economic victory over time. If Russia stands it changes all that. Let’s see what happens.
