One additional note. It might be the healthiest thing to separate the game threads.
The frequency in that board is so high that any discussion thread will be buried within hours.

This we might need a league forum with a nice and clear sticky structure and the game threads as a child board.

Lol I was thinking the same thing maybe 18 is just the right bid

ahh ok thanks for the heads up didn’t see that

At this point the game is a gigantic waste of time. Hence I give up.

We will play it next year. No problem.

I’d certainly play out the remaining turns if you want to see what would happen when you have more free time (either for next season if you change your mind about officially conceding, or just for fun).

I agree that this one isn’t really decided yet, even if it’s tilted.

Hi Wheat

If anyone should be apologizing for slow play it would be me :P

I definitely wanna have a rematch at some point (1-1) but just have to make sure that I have room in my calender. Ill let you know
cheers

Thanks, Juan, good game

Ok thank you and GG for sue. let me know if you wanna flip sides and play axis.

Yeah, Japan is the key for brining the US in.  If the Axis player doesn’t want the US in the war, then Japan has to play defensively.  Works well with a SeaLion.  I think the key to countering that is to be as aggressive as possible with Russia.  Move everything to Germany as fast as possible.  And once a game is done, you post a link to it in the game results thread.
