we can call this one and start the other one

Thanks for the game guys.

It was really enjoyable playing with you both. The best of luck for next rounds.

Cheers

As a new player to this version of the game, I learned a lot just by downloading and reviewing some of the games in the tournament.

My suggestion would be that I think it would be super cool if someone were to dissect the games after they are played, or even ask the players to post a little about their thinking behind their overall strategies, nothing super detailed, and not every game, maybe the final and the two semi final games or something.  I think it would be interesting to know the general strategy each player was going for at the beginning of the game and if that changed at some mid point.  Something like…“I was going to fake a KJF strategy and then swing over to the Atlantic once I could get Japan to start buying some navy to slow them down, but I ended up getting locked into a longer Pacific engagement than I was hoping which allowed the Germans to steamroll Russia too fast” etc…

Just a thought but I could see that as a really cool learning tool for both newer and more experienced players.

Also, I’m in for the next tournament.

Yes, doesn’t seem you’ll have much of a chance left in this game ;)

Thanks for playing!

Ooooh, and by the way you are Central Powers in our Great War game, so fire away when ready!  :)

I think it’s time to call this one.  Germany and Italy are going down and the Japanese have been down for a while.  GG

Good game Dizz! And yeah pretty much all fronts have solidified and would just be a slow push for the Central Powers to victory based on the economic lead. Really interesting game overall and I think the first game I’ve ever played to 25 rounds!

Congrats Geo!

Good game guys and well played guys.

@wittmann:

My apologies for capturing Constantinople.

If you feel sorry about that - there was a very easy way to prevent it…
I see now I missed 1 artillery that came over water, giving you 15% extra. But still had to play light as I was a little behind allready. Don’t think I can recuperate from this, so I’ll resign this game. THanks for playing, was very interesting.

@Entek:

I think it’s time to call this one.  GG, this is an interesting map for sure

GG, Entek!  It really is fun – hard to figure out all of the possibilities, but I bet we will be there soon.  :)

Alright. GG. I’ve never played Napoleonic against anyone but the AI so should be interesting :)

Thank you very much Garg. And thanks to MagicQ and Allucard for a great game. We will contact our next opponents inmediatelly. Kind regards

Thanks for playing.

Yeah…I’ll report it.

@Whackamatt:

I’m calling it quits.  No way to come back from that back to back disasters.  I might have a chance if I had taken out the goblins.

21% is off course a hard shot to take, and I completely understand, you’re in a tought position here. Will you post it in the ACGTO result post?

Thanks for playing and good luck in the rest of the tournament!

GG, thanks for playing.

Lot of options every turn makes me like the map.

Done

@DizzKneeLand33:

GG, Balladeer!  I think you are really getting a good handle on WaW – the Brits in Europe were the 800 pound pink gorilla in the room, this time.   :-D  It always takes me a few games to get used to a map, so some of us with the first tourney have more games under our belt now.

Our game was very dynamic – fronts were blowing up all over the place!  Good luck in the next rounds.

Thanks, you too!

Friendly bump.

Hope all is well – let me know if something is up or maybe you are just on vacation.  :)
