BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X)


  • @gamerman01 Edited to consolidate the 2 posts. Otherwise, it looks like I’m leaving out some key battles.

    Great game! Need to continue it right now!!


  • @gamerman01 one thing I was going to note also is that yes 111 was ugly for me. But I went in knowing that is sometimes a result. I don’t often play axis but when I do, I often am a bit more conservative in my G1 attacks, But thought against you I needed to take some risks and I paid the price.

    And while I didn’t win 97, I wasn’t really expected to, and I think the allies lost more than they normally would there. So I don’t feel I can complain about the dice in those two battles. In any case, I got it back in Bryansk.


  • Doing UK non-com now. Feeling good about this turn, but big drama is ahead

  • Oh, it’s G6. I was hoping for a resignation.


  • @gamerman01 they don’t seem to have all come through yet, but I had some nice dice there.


  • I see minuses for me and pluses for you!

    I guess since my post to forum doesn’t work, I never see my own when I get lucky against players.

    Don’t worry, the psychological warfare will continue. I don’t just depend on wildly unpredictable dice to save me.

    I’d use emojis, but I know you catch my nuances


  • Perfect Russian round

    Death to the German invader - 1 infantry annihilated
