@Yoshi:

As you said, the battle of Ukraine of R2 was a very big problem, and I guess a good part of the game has been played there. I have no idea if making this attack was good or not, since after all you had the possibility to retreat which kind of make up the lower odds ; but I believe you made a big mistake by rolling a second turn there ; of course, you were not supposed to be diced like that, and that’s really unlucky ; but after the first turn you had no more odds of winning, and in average you had nothing really nice to win…

It was a gamble.  Against the best player on the site I wanted to take a shot when I could.  If I get lucky it is a big advantage to me.  It backfired, and the only way I could get back into the game again is if you let me, and you didn’t.  Again, very well played

That was a pretty sick defense in Poland.  Those fighters are some serious aces.  Tough dice for the Allies on the Europe board there on that round.

Good game Lindy.  You are an excellent AA’er. Thanks for the match.

Cheers

not sure about that but thanks

yes, i think you played that very well, but i don’t think that the axis game is that easy against a good russia player, i like your tactic though and you played it very well, with different dice here and there it could’ve been a very different game - am curious how it would’ve developed if the dice would’ve been different the last round and a half, it would definitively have relieved most of the pressure on germany, but russia was so strong, so don’t know

yes, it works very well i think, don’t think i’ve seen it before

Yep good game, Germany got ugly quick and after that it got tougher for you and you didnt get any dice to save you.

Thanks for the game.

@Boldfresh:

but you also made no major blunders and played solid and conservative, which was smart given the opening round dice.  good luck against Yoshi.

Thank you. You are right in saying the dice were out to get you. It seemed like all my destroyers were killing planes while they were sunk.

See you in Oshawa.

Thanks, SAS, I enjoyed the game and appreciate your sportsmanship
Wish you the best in your G40 advancement

Ok, thanks for the game!

I’m at work, so I cannot reflect this on the official thread just yet, but due to lack of response from i Rock, both in PM and in this thread, I’m declaring NoMercy winner and allowing him to continue on to the next round.

Good game guys.

RD vs. Winner of Gamer/Yoshi for the title.  :-D

I resign-well played game

let’s try a last up…

The dice were definitely against you lately! Good game!

Not too far, Denver… or as it seems to be known as these days, Tebow Town.

Yes, the airbase plan is a good one.  I had calculated enough regardless to protect India (especially with the ‘mighty’ Russian Airforce), and would not have attacked Jordan if you had gone to FIC, but yea, the airbase there would have been a strong move to threaten z54.  Australia would have fallen I’m pretty sure, so my survival would depend on the Americans liberating either Hawaii or Hong Kong before a round was up.

I’m not kidding about coming out either…besides my kids, I have one hobby… A&A.  Pretty shameful.  I don’t ski anymore, don’t go out drinking, don’t go to sporting events anymore, don’t hunt anymore, don’t go boating, biking, hiking, or climbing, but I’ll be darned if I am going to quit A&A’ing.  I havent been successful at getting an A&A group together here as yet…

@Yoshi:

Thx for the game :)

Thank You

when you re up for a league one just say cheers :)

gg and TY.

bump

It was the thursday after x-mas and all was axis… :evil:
We decided to try a handicap-tournament at our gaming club www.caac.dk

Ghostglider will provide the house and the house-rules-of-the-day.

We rank our 12 almost-regular players from 1 to…duh…12  :roll:

Pending who shows up and how many, we will play a knockout tournament with
the difference in ranking = 1 inf in a capitol and 1 reroll.
I.E #1 - that´ll be the (in)famous Ghostglider vs. # 9 - say Frank.
In that game Frank will have 9 rerolls (one whole round of combat, not the entire combat) and 8 inf
starting the game in his capitols. He must put one in each before placing 2 and so forth.
Ghostglider will have one reroll to make it a little fun for him too. If you want your opponent to reroll
it´ll cost 2 rerolls.

I´ll let you know friday how it went…

Cools, life is calming down.  Other than making Christmas Eve Dinner and cleaning up, I’m good to go if you want to start that game.  Just post a link in here so it will definitely show up. (If I dont have a lot of time, I don’t hit the all unread posts link to find all new posts, I just hit show new replies to your posts to get the ones that are important.)
