Hab ich’s doch gewusst - du hast den Thread vergessen!  :mrgreen:

OK.  I’ll start up another one.

@anchovy:

I’d like to take this opportunity to announce my formal surrender.

Well played.  I hadn’t seen that Med lock-out in G40 before and I need to figure out a way to counter it.  I went with Pacific pressure instead and that just gave too much lee-way to the western Axis.

Anyway, pretty much mistake-free hockey on your part.  Good game!

Thank you!

I was very concerned that the Med lock out would fall too early (and Germany eventually lose all that investment in subs) and at some point Japan was stretched thin too.

Russia was played very well, I was surprised by the amount of resistance I got!

The US logistics were pretty amazing.

In short, I was very impressed and it’s quite fun to see that my Chinese / UK first strategy (destroying China, taking the Med and putting the UK in trouble) worked against an excellent opponent.

If you saved it, try resending it via email or redo the turn…looks like the message boards are back up.

Addition:

I have no idea if it works with pdf, cause normally the ai places units for MinorClans(Ronin+Castles), so I will take the Asai clan and MinorClans. Asai is the pink one, located in the center and most difficult. I will do the placement for MinorClans too, in alphabetical order for all territories with Ronin and Castles, while Castles will be placed in highest valued territories first. There is an overall maximum for units beeing placed by MinorClans, so if maximum (~15) is reached, I will just continue with next territory in list.

Politics require to be confirmed, there is WAR, NEUTRAL and ALLIED, from war to neutral and from neutral to allied there is a confirmation required. After posting turn a player should log in here and post the name of the clan/clans he does not want to be neutral or allied with, all none listed will be considered to be allowed for a relation change.

With this settings it should be possible to play by forum I think.

Banzai!

Thanks for this couple of game. I’ve been able to have a good idea of what global is. I guess I’ll have to try the new rules and setup later on now that they are fixed and not moving every two months.

That’s an interesting game, looks like you really need to invest units on every front.

The early loss of India has been really painful. Really needed to go a lot into Pacific with the US, and even with that I was almost able to do nothing against Japan. At least I made Hirohito busy :)

OK, I’ll notify to Vegryn. Good luck with your other games  :-)

Fair enough. Good game!

Right call on the sub. Thanks.

I changed a non-combat move after I placed - I decided that 42% was too close to risk losing Berlin!

From what I have read, I think there is a change in one or two infantry between the two. I will get it started when I get home tonight. Where would you like the extra IPC to go?

Yeah.

Stalker!  :lol:

Thanks for giving me permission to quit.  You didn’t have some new strategy you wanted to try out?  That was a ruse?
I think you’re going to bowl over Russia, although I hadn’t looked at doing the R2.

But yes, thanks for taking a game off my plate so it doesn’t nag at me.
And remember, if you want a G40 partner I’m interested.  I think one of the best qualities of G40 is its multiplayer play.  After all, US/China/UK doesn’t look as overwhelming if you’re not doing both UK and US…

that’s cool.

No problem,anytime you want a game let me know!

Just wanted to get this closer to the first page.
Happy Holidays!!!

Haette wenig Sinn, diese Partie weiter zu spielen, selbst ich kann mir denken, dass Die Achse wenig Chance hat, wenn Minimalziele wie Paris oder Leningrad zu spaet erreicht werden. Aber wie gesagt, eröeffnet mir ein besseres Bild. Ist bei genug Zeit sicher eine schoene Karte (allerdings muss ich auch sagen, dass es mir wenig liegt, wenn nach 5 Runden oder so 60, 70 oder mehr Einheiten in einem Feld stehen, finde die Einheiten sind zu billig…aber haengt natuerlich mit der Groeße der Karte zusammen).

Dir auch ein gutes neues Jahr!
