18L MrRoboto (Axis+1) vs Farmboy (Allies) BM3

    I concede.

    I made two mistakes with the fleets, like 20 turns ago - and I couldn’t recover from that.
    Maybe I could have won, had I pushed harder and more resolute against Russia, with Japan. It binded a lot of troops and also some attrition, I needed elsewhere.

    A shame, I really could have won that.

    Nonetheless, a great game. Thanks for that!

    Rematch? Me as axis again or do you want axis this time?

    It was a great game and quite unlike anything I ever played before. And 38 turns!

    I vaguely recall making some poor judgements on the Europe side in the early turns that were compounded by poor dice. This game was a great illustrator for me of the point that battles with 80% odds are not always the right move. I thought after that you almost certainly had it, and that you probably could have won it earlier but were waiting for more certain odds. Losing the German fleet was the most decisive point that turned the game. And I think after a bit of bad dice in the beginning I often had pretty good dice through the rest of the game.

    I’ll definitely play another and can take either side. You can decide. I became pretty obsessed with this game (and found the turns difficult to figure out given the number of units and theatres and the need to coordinate the different allies) so I slowed down my other games substantially. I found I couldn’t do them all. So I will prioritize those other games for the next few days. If you want to play axis, feel free to start. I just might be slow for the next few days. If you want allies, it might be a few days before I can start.
