16L G40 Stalingradsky (Allies +18) vs Rubioton (Axis)

[rubioton]

@Stalingradski:

Well then, you got me on a basic, good old fashioned sleight of hand with the German bombers, and it’ll probably cost me the game. Such a simple trick. That’ll teach me to inspect every inch of the board, every round. If we were playing face to face, I’d never miss it. Ugh.

You even set me up expertly by talking about not knowing how to handle the Pacific, just before pouncing. I forgot to have my Bene Gesserit ears on.

All six tips, subs, max defense from there on out, keeping an Anzac destroyer for as long as you have any subs left. If anything survives (it is only 87%, after all), I’d like it to be Anzac fighters and US battleship. If it gets really wacky, just ask.

I agree with you If I would have normal luck, but this is not the case. Your troops made, again, a great defense that cost me 6 units more than predicted. This was one of my fears and made me doubt a lot if attack or not.

Let’s see how it goes from here on.

Cheers

[Stalingradski]

That’s a lot of extra units - I’ve been lucky. Still, you’ve probably bought yourself just enough time to do in Russia and consilidate Japan before the next Allied fleet can make an impact.

I have to say well played for taking out the blockers - my mistake for not paying attention and a great move by you. I need to start doing the same thing against my opponents.
