yeah that’s where I posted my loss…

Thank you.  It was fun.  You brought the best out of me on this game.

Go for it!!!
Been busy lately its the holiday season

Point taken on complaining.  Playing Bold and some of the others the smack talking and propagandizing (including self pitying) get a little out of hand.  I suppose there is an insidiousness to it to try to demoralize the other player.  :-(  Thus you always want to note your bad dice and never good dice to try to get the other guy thinking he’s winning when he may not be.

It’s silly but it creeps in.

I will also say, I’ve always suspected the dice server of being too random.  The amount of AA’s hit and sub defense hits and totally extreme dice seems too frequent to me.  I realize it’s probably just me, but sometimes the crazy dice make my head spin.

AS for the game, you play so aggressively that it literally keeps me on the edge of my seat.  I think I’ve lost most my games against you, and I have to say its because I felt rather hopeless.  Either my luck would stop you in time for me to regroup or I would die.

Thanks for the game!

good game

yeah I’m trying to keep bender alive as long as I can. another or no. some times im not sure how to interpet the rules. thank you for the knowledge.

Thank you for the fun game.

Revenge?

Let’s take a break.

Would you accept playing Allies yourself with no advantage?

I could, if you would make similar mistakes. But, you are getting better.

Tcnance (Allies) vs JuanSpain (Axis). Game started, GL&HF. Awaiting scramble decision.

Good game. I surrender. Will post it now.

Cheers

Tanks!  It was a good game, i got pretty lucky at some key points.
:wink:

Thank you for the game. You are super fast and solid player.

I concede. Good game; learned a lot; thanks.

@JDOW:

Thanks for the Game UnknownSoldier, too. I am sorry that your mental slip about the “Carrier-Rule” made the tipping point for you to resign. It really changes the Dynamic for the Allies to protect their TTs and makes a Carrier Build for the Germans more powerful.

The attack came also with its price for the Germans. 2 Planes and a Sub is a decent price-tag. But it was obv. worth to me in exchange for no heavy invasion in the west for another turn.
Without that attack I would have probably been forced to abandon the G7 attack on Moscow and play an eco-game and let the Russian reinforcements arrive. I guess in this scenario it would have been up to me to prove that the Japanese beast can either win in the Pacific or influence the Europe map in favor of the Axis.

Your opening was interesting. Usually I believe an attack in sz97 is essential in UK1. However combined with the complete wipe of the Italians in Africa this was a nice option to put heavy pressure in Europe. I must ask myself whether the counterattack in Tobruk was worth it to lose an essential part of my fleet.

I already tried to copy some parts of your strategy in my current game vs wheatbeer, lets see how this game goes, first time in my life I did not attack sz97 UK1^^

Cheers,
Tobias

Thank you for the comments sir. They were very kind. I certainly re-learned a lesson with the attack move in 91. It is a brilliant strategy. I have tried the whole carrier buy before and have seen it done. I have just never made it work for me and now I know why  :oops:

I agree that keeping Italy weak is the key to an Allied victory. Sometimes I attack the sea zone and others I go for Africa. I have never really tried to both though.

Good luck in both of your games!

Really nice playing against you…short as it was  :-D

sorry you’re short on time. at least we can concentrate on getting our ass handed to us in the xdap game.

im sure we will play many games in the future…with the same result

I want arty Alexandria, mech egy, inf New guinea, ipc uk Atlantic

Hmm, I think by then I knew the game was lost.  If I had the USSR another 2 or 3 turns, I think I may have been able to pull this off, or make it close. (Instead of Egypt, I thought you may do a blitz of the UK)

So, I think my move in 20 was desperation.    I also probably underestimated your willingness to lose your planes.  :lol:
