k your call, gg

yes! good game

Hi Seth,

Thanks for playing, was a nice game.

Good luck in your next game,

Greetings,

Bacala

bump.

one good compromise method would be to run the 1st round in Low Luck (just because of the larger number of battles that happen in the first round), then play the entire rest of the game in Dice.

good luck

@soundcrescent:

I can say I have a big advantage now. I expected you to roll some dices in one desperate battle counting on extreme luck  :wink:
Thanks for the game

It’s funny you say that, I was hoping for a BIG battle… but I realized you just WEREN’T going to give me one lol…

And I wasn’t likely going to crack Germany in time.

Well played.

Thank you Vold, I’ve been looking forward each day to seeing your game moves.  There’s a message for you as well.

Good game.

Yes, this game really is worth a closer look!
Thank you very much for this good game, I enjoyed playing with you very much, too!
Good luck for the rest of the tournament!

The move towards the italian navy did not look bad to me. But I think since you knew you’d finish with no tp in Europa with UK, the US1 buy should have been partially in sz10, so that you could send some units in Algeria quickly.

An interesting point of killing the italian navy early is to make Italy poor ; but this was not the case here.

Anyway, thanks for the game :)

great game guys!

@Fingolfin:

GG - I am really glad I didn’t have to continue as Italy against your oppressive submarines in the Mediterranean.    :-P I was as good as gone had the game continued any longer.

Thanks, unfortunately my partner started me off bad in the med and you capitalized brilliantly with taking and than holding Egypt. I knew I was in trouble then.

Looking back on the game, I probably spent too much in the pacific with US and not enough in the Atlantic. Granted I pretty much killed the IJN in the process and would’ve finished most of the rest off with the Aussies on their turn. But Japan going with several factories coupled with the quick axis victory in Europe negated the lack of IJN. Maybe I could’ve taken advantage of the lack of IJN by taking islands over the next couple of rounds, but India would’ve been swamped and all the IPCs from USSR, India, and China would’ve offset any Japanese losses by island capture.

You did a good job against Japan. And you looked like you might have been a turn away from retaking Egypt. I think it was a mistake for Japan to have moved its fleet to Java; and you seemed ready to capitalize on Japan’s naval errors with your ANZAC fleet and with your blockading submarines.

But like you said, Japan was very strong on the mainland. Once India fell, Japan would have been able to spend most of its money on its fleet. Granted it would have had some catching up to do, especially after the ANZAC ATTAC you described. This was a close game, and you created problems for us in a lot of areas.
