Good game, man.  G40 is a brain cramp from hell. Tough to see everything and all possibilities. You got a tough break on UK1 off Naples.  Now I know to park 2 German fighters there.  8-)

Well, gg and thanks.  If you’re ever interested in continuing for fun just let me know, I’ll be glad to oblige.  You played well and I learned quite a bit.

@jim010:

Actually, my surrender is conditional on the disbanding of the last 3 remaining French units on the board.

Haha Sure !
Allies are so glad they can end this now that they will just kick the french units out of UK and ship them to Germany.
Peace sometimes needs some sacrifices !  :-D

Sounds great to me! I will be done with this insane schedule in November and send you a message. Also, I am gonna set up my game boards on the pool table so it is easier to follow. Good luck to you!

Thanks for the interesting game.  Japan’s air force was the scourge of the pacific.  You kept me guessing whether you were going to try for Australia or India.  In the end, instead of going on the offensive, I decided to just hunker down and wait for Germany to fall and then the US and USSR to come rolling in.

hey anchovy, good game, well played.  yeah, the naval build is a difficult choice as it does slow down the eastern advance for germany…but I thought I’d go for it this time.

thanks, good luck going forward!

@anchovy:

Thanks.  Good game.

Yeah, I just needed to take Volgograd and hold the rest of my VCs in Europe and it was over.

It was a fun game.  You had some tough losses early in the game, but you did a nice job of containing my German fleet.  If I wanted to keep it, I would have had to spend more on fleet, which I wasn’t willing to do at the time, in case I had any trouble taking Moscow.  In retrospect, I probably should have - so I learned something too…   :wink:

Anyway, good luck in the consolation stream and maybe we will meet on the battlefield again sometime…

Got it, thread updated.

There is a winner’s bracket and a loser’s bracket.  Not sure if all the losers want to keep going or not, but it will be offered and number of games adjusted as necessary.  So you get time to recover.

Matt, you’re one heck of an improved player.  Nice game.

@fighter:

The way I read the scrambling rules there is not a cap of three fighter scrambling into a sea zone-only a cap of three fighters scrambling from any one airbase.For example if the Japs have an airbase in Korea they would be able to scramble 3ftrs each from Korea and Japan for a total of 6 fighters to one sea zone. Am I wrong?

Why are we posting this in a game thread?

Please take it to the FAQ / Rules threads.  Let old game threads die off or keep the active ones uncluttered, please.

Thank you James.

Thanks, Darth.
JWW and I are bidding my PM

This is a tournament using NEW WORLD ORDER Small’s mod,

Tournament money donated by ‘Railroad’, a big fan of the map.

Completely Free Entry, free to join and play

$200 USD in prizes.
1st gets $125
2nd gets $50
3rd gets $25

The tournament is scheduled to begin 1 September. The STRICT deadline for each game being the end of the month, preferably finish way sooner. Any player that has not submitted a result in time or atleast emailed me to explain why unable to finish in time, will DEFINITELY get a loss for that game. Rounds will overlap, once first 2 games complete I will assign them round 2 opponents.

NWO Smalls map again games must be played using dice not LL, and railroad wants me to compete in it too. Eliminated from the tournament after 2 losses. No bonus game vs me at the end like last tournament. Games to be played with the lobby. PBEM is ONLY ok if both players agree to it. Most know when they should concede, but you get auto win if get both double opponents production and have more than 1000 TUV higher than opponent. I have already taken into account that production and TUV values are not always entirely accurate.

If game isn’t finished by the timelimit, the judges panel will look over the saved file and decide the winner, with consideration given to availability of the players. Anyone not wanting to play in the tournament, and I have played vs before, please advise me if you willing to be on the panel.

I believe the map is balanced, but there will be a bid regardless. Normal bidding process used in other nwo tourny. Highest bid gets axis, negative bids fine. 1 unit per territory, can only place if same nation already has units there and if on land owned by that same nation. Person on left of draw page bids first. Bids can be in .5 increments ie elite costs 3.5. But 2.5 or 1.5 or 0.5 is not allowed. Players may withdraw from the tournament after any game, just email me, their names will appear in red in the draw.

Winnings preferably sent with paypal, but will send bank cheque etc if you prefer. Use the join link to join, and until the tournament starts you can see the current entrants on the draw page.

@anchovy:

I was getting worried about your German stack being able to park in cau and launch raids into Africa…

That of course was the plan but, a 90% chance of winning with 65% chance to kill more than I lose blew up in my face.  (I’m still bitter).  :cry:

Thank you for the game though, You played great and capitalized on all my mistakes.  I’m glad I at least gave you a little bit of a challenge.  Good luck next round.

Thanks Butcher.
The failed attack on italian fleet indeed lacked any luck.

Besides that it was a fun game.

Yes there was a turn where Russia got diced in Ukraine I believe, and then I did not look if you could have prevent an Epl stack or not from Germany, but this was the case (I think you protected Caucasus after that).

For the uk bombers… they were a good buy I think, since they forced me to defend better both Italy and France. But maybe you could have used them better than a trade in France. I was wondering how to manage them if they had been traveling to Egypt with a big stack for instance.

Anyway, good game I believe, of course one can see that some details lost you, because you did not anticipate enough your ideas, but overall there were several good ideas. Was a nice game :). Good luck in the league ;)

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A LEAGUE TRIPLE A GAME WITH SWITCH SIDES OR NOT
