@Odonis:

absolutely, and good game!

I am away all next week on business, so we can start another after that.

Cheers,
Paul

sounds awesome. have a good time next week.

Hi again Sir,

Thanks for advice (british planes in Moscow)

The russian planes, I needed them to take Norway but you did a good move with Italy that allowed Germany kill them. That move compromised my strategy in Europe.

Thanks for the game, all in all I enjoyed.  :wink:

fuck it.  I quit

I’ll face reality on this one…I’m toast!  Good game!

If I could offer advice on your bid I think you could just put a sub in SZ 98 and that would free up the remaining 10 for a fighter in Malta.  I also would increase the bid to at least 19 so you could get an NG inf.  You should be able to get 19 from most good players.  Anyway, thanks for the games they were fun.  We are eligible for best of 5 so if you want a 3rd match we can start one when I get back from vacation in 4 days.

New thread is up!  :mrgreen:

Good game, thanks!

Don’t forget to post the result with the game link in the league results thread.

I made some big mistakes with Japan, trying an attack on Russia instead of my standard play.  Your move into Norway was brilliant, combined with the pressure of the Allied fleet.  I thought it was going to be a fiasco for you, but it turned out to be a crusher for Germany.  Well played on both sides of the board.

Let’s plan on a rematch in September, switching sides with the same +18 for Allies.

Inf in New Guinea
Sub in SZ 98
Art in Alexandria
Art in Sudan
1 PU in London

sounds good, will do. i still have 4 active games right now, but because they’re slow-paced, i’m ok with them. i’m thinking when i get down to 1 or 2 games, i’ll probably be feeling better about taking on another serious game.

@Pherman1215:

I would say GG, but BG (ecause of dice) might be more accurate.� Hit me up after your break, I’m always down for playing a game with you.�

Thanks AEV You played well and fair too. Thanks for the game. We will have to do it again sometime.

Take care.

OK!  wow, that was a real game!

Round: 4

Purchase Units - Italians

oops, this is a mistake. plz ignore

Thanks, Zhukov, it was an honor to play you in the playoffs.  You already said everything really very well, so I will be brief.

I also think I won the game in the bidding, because I saw your Axis play and it looked great.  I think I had an advantage of more G40 experience.  However, I was really pretty stunned that Japan did so well so quickly, going on the offensive after only about 6-8 rounds.  I think you split up your Chinese and Indian units around round 4 to go farther north and that was maybe a mistake - they needed to stick together and I was able to split them.

Thank you for sticking with me through the long delays of the spring when my work schedule was busy, and you kept up a good pace when I came back, considering you were playing from behind for many rounds.

Yes, I have learned in recent games that Japan’s fleet is more important than quick short term gains on the mainland, and like you, I think, I am a big believer in transports over complexes.  I knew I was playing a grizzled veteran of A&A, so I gave this game my 100% best.  I am maybe just a little farther down the G40 learning curve than you right now, and you of course will continue improving your game.  I am relieved to advance, and look forward to trying to defend the title.

Good game

@Pherman1215:

I think if you could have held on to Russia longer you would have had a good shot in this one.  I’ve played a lot of global and I’ve never seen the Allies win after Germany takes Moscow on G6.  You had great position and tempo in the pac, but it wasn’t enough when Russia was out that early.  Good game and well played.

Hmm, so I should’ve found a way to get a couple of UK fighters to moscow early. Allright, thanks! And well played as well :)

Cool. I’m busy for a couple or hours but I will be free after that. I will set the next game up then.
