Good game.

@Stalingradski:

I’ll still take 92.5% odds 100 out of 100 times!  :-) I wouldn’t/couldn’t play any other way.

Agreed, you can’t play the game banking on odds better than that - Particularly if you are behind.

Anyways, yeah good game.  I havent played against/with this strat enough to know the best response (i have some ideas) but it is certainly strong and perhaps deceivingly so.  Round 5 is quick but not by much.  Allies need to be well ahead in the rest of the theaters by that point to have a good shot but it doesnt seem easy to do.

Thanks for the game.

i think sealion is fun and should be part of the game

i feel that any bids should go to either russia or usa, or else they will affect the intent of the game too much

i’d hate to see bids forcing players into specific “best and only best” strategy

I forgot to say Congrats Tyzoq!

Well played tourney!

Good game guys!

@Yoshi:

I agree that 10 units maximum during all the game might be tough (at some point, infantries are missing on the russian front, and you need to use expensives units - usually tanks to trade territories).

Somehow, I believe that when facing a KJF (assuming a good opponent), you cannot win if you’re not able to take and hold Caucasus at some point, and I’d say you’re in trouble if you did not manage to do that on round 6 to 8.

I pretty much agree with that.  I’ve found I usually have to go to Epl (obvious) first then Bel (to avoid Russian stacks in both Cauc and Mos, yet you can now directly threaten Mos), then to Euk (once Russia has to fortify Mos), then you can get Cauc.  So in your time frame you need to be in Euk by rd 5-6 to get Cauc the following rd.  That’s actually pretty consistant with how I do my Infantry march games.  It’s certainly reasonable to have a credible army threaten Moscow (not just a can opener threat) by rd 7,8,9.

@Yoshi:

Another point is that you need more air than you had : you were using one or two air units against Russia every turn… that’s really few, and forced you to use more grounds units in theses battles ; and gave me the opportunity to use some “small stack” (2, 3 or 4 units) that ou couldn’t trade efficiently all at once. And as air units also threat the uk navy, that force the allies to invest in some defense that will not be useful except to stand on defense in the atlantix.

Yeah, I was a little light on air.  If I didn’t buy the IC, I’d buy 1 plane per turn, but just didn’t do that this game.

Ok Santa, who the hell are you?!? I need to kick your arse! Come on, “Santa Claus”, really, If I get to play ya, at any A&A game, I will treat you like the elf you are.

It broke the 10 mech/armor go russia per turn rule. Only time you can get away with that is if you got baltic sea naval and a shuck of 6 men or something. He had enough moola to inf west germany no prob.

Just got to protect rome / west germany / germany / norway. He was fine. Italy don’t need a major IC when it makes 9 ipc. @_@

I surrender the game

Definitly

Thanks guys.  Very fun game.

Sorry the dice got frustrating at the end and that we won’t get a chance to see how the game finishes but good game.  Opened the game very well and felt pretty behind most of the game.

gg

I am resigning this match.

Good Game, and i’ll post the loss.

Ok!

Well, I became tired of this game. Made stupid mistakes like letting him grab Rome instead of blocking the access for one round. In addition to that I bought bad stuff without a thought.

This was a great learning experience, never guessed I would survive this long, especially when half-way through the game I saw that I can build encampments without a general.

Actually there was so much fail in my play that I am very pissed.

Anyway, it was an epic fight. Too bad that I can’t stand anymore the mistakes I made. I just want to forget this game xD

Let’s call this, due to apparent lack of interest.

We’ve all got other games to play, better to just officially drop this methinks.

GG, MIR

Thanks, was a good game. I think you could have marched further east with France early on and get some pressure on Austria, but might be just my impression. Anyway, good luck in further rounds.

Sorry for taking so long to respond to this. I really appreciate this advice and think that this game looks like it can be very entertaining. I started to type a thank you about the write up you made and got distracted and just noticed now I never posted it. Thanks.

but yes both sides have to learn to play faster.

Coordination is nice, but send your special mooquests before or right after your turn so your partner can just do it.

the only way i would continue this game is if you can play either live, or EVERY day 1 turn pbf. 1 day not posting by you means you give up the game

and honestly i think you cant do either of the 2 so thanks for the waste of time
