XDAP2 R3 - Declaration of WEAK vs Team GARL (Allies +20)

@Karl7:

@JDOW:

I would consider the dice very lucky for the Allies.

70 TUV below expected. I guess was was bottom 20% or so.

wow!  Ha. Garg and I ran the numbers and saw it was futile to go all in.  So, we thought just a token resistance was best. Maybe we should have gone in after all…. :-P

Yes. With the given result a full stand with all Fighters could have been fatal for the Germans. Glad the Brits are such nits :PPPPPPP

ha, well it would have been only 3 more ftrs anyway…. not enough to win.  Besides that extra fire power would have pushed the dice so the Allies would have rolled terribly… such is the moodiness of the MARTI God

Yes. With the given result a full stand with all Fighters could have been fatal for the Germans. Glad the Brits are such nits :PPPPPPP

You could brought all 5 figs + bomber in. those at Egypt were on the US carrier which could have brought them closer. What you actually did.

jdow and karl - are either of you able to help me figure out where we currently are at in this tourney?  updated brackets and results in the pits?  i’m insanely busy right now.

Sorry Bold. This was another reason I refused to take over. I would need to start from scratch to see where we are and where all infos and rules are located.

So I am not of any help in this matter :-(

Well, so it goes. As I say, the battle calc gave you a very decisive victory even with all in.  So, things turned out better than if we had gone all in I guess given you can never count on the dice helping you.

Bold, I have no idea where the tourney stands.  I can ask Garg.

what the what here?

I am on my own now, so… Wheat’s move?

Wheat was buys the recent days. Move coming soon.

Karl, would you be opposed to JDOW doing this Japanese turn (if he’s willing) … that would be fastest.

We discussed the map already, we just had no time to fine tune it together.

So I will just proceed for this turn to keep this going.

blah, you guys are toying with me.

This game is OVER!  Ha… I think it’s been over for awhile actually.  Keeping India offensive which was an error here.  Turtle was the way to go.  Also invading the neutrals I don’t think helped us in the end.

it so rarely does…

welcome to the pits karl!

Thanks Karl. Good game! Very intense.
My thoughts: i think india was not the problem and you dient really play it offensive. I personally do not like to turtle with india. However your anti-german approach gave japan lots of freedom so it was just a matter of time until india falls.
I rather think the russians overstretched their capacities and operated quite spewy with their units. That allowed to set up for an almost 100% attack on moscow despite 16 or so allied air to supporr. I think if you keep russia safer by more conservative russian play the game would have stayed competitive.

I personally liked the neutral crush. Usually i think its bad if the 8 turkish fall into axis hands but i think it gave uk lots of power. Garg even got unlucks at argentinia. But morenimportant: spain allowed the usa to keep germans busy at minimal effort.

In general i found your strategy inspiring except the russian play. I think with some tweaks i might take this into my reservoir.

Cheers
Tobias

Sorry for smartphone-caused typos.

Plus: reservoir = repertoire

Good luck in the Pit!
