OK, that is the end of this one. Â

I’ll post the loss and await your G1.

I’d like to bid an ANZAK inf to N. Guinea and a UK SS to z96.

You’re welcome.

game closed cause i cant get the game to post here

Thanks … I enjoyed playing … if you ever want a non-league match let me know.  :-)

@Jeff28:

I think you are improving, keep up the good work.

–Jeff

That doesn’t help if my opponents also improve.  The Kwangsi Air Base + Naval Base pretty much makes Japan unbeatable in the time you have available as the Allies to avoid losing in Europe.  Unless somebody can convince me that Russia can hold out past round 7 against a German player determined to take them down, this game is un-winnable for the Allies at reasonable bids.  You need at least 2 UK subs in the Med, possibly +2 Chinese Inf in Yunnan and the ANZAC Inf in Guinea.  Basically you need over 20 bid to handle a fair fight.  The alternative is to make sure the guy likely to make the most mistakes is the Axis.

i will take sub z91, inf in new guin, and 2 ipc to UK pacific.

Gamerman still has this down as an open match … did you want to continue it?

@DarthMaximus:

I lost connection mid turn last night.  I’m not sure what happen but the rolls did go through.  I attacked Bel with 3 inf, 1 arm, I missed and looks like Ger hit on all three.

But I don’t think there is much point in continuing.  This one is over assuming you aren’t going to do something risky and at this point you don’t have to.  I was going to tough it out until a big battle occured, but with my turn messing up last night I think that is a sign to just throw in my chips.  Good game and well played.

Thank you for the compliment and game. Good game to you as well.

The downside is the income boost for Japan … but Japan may not be in position to sack Calcutta on J3.

It sounds worth testing.

I will play an econ strategy next time, if we play again, so things are less crazy.

@Gamerman01:

Did you want a re-match?  Same sides, same bid?

Sure, I can give it a shot.

I concede.  Thanks for the game.

@Most:

Now that I take a look around I see there is nowhere that I can threaten you. I’ve got to work on my strategy with the Allies. I’ve played or am playing 4 games right now as the Allies and I’m not doing well with any of them. It’s unfortunate that our tourney game went nowhere as I was looking forward to discussion on Allies strategy with you guys. I and my group are beer and pretzels guys and we tend to throw caution to the wind and pray to the dice gods rather than go for sure thing after sure thing. G40 isn’t the game for that.

You win brother! I’ll post it up. I’d like a rematch but it’s going to have to wait a bit. I owe a couple other guys matches and I think I took too many games on at once to start league play. I think 2-3 is ideal.

Good game man, thanks.

no, thank you. let me know when you are ready for a rematch……

@Eggman:

I’d prefer to have none.  Having your opponent get something magical on their first roll is nothing something I’d want to worry about in a league game.

OK, no tech.  I’ll start a new thread so that I can put that in the title so that I remember, because all the rest of my games are with tech.

Good game to you as well. That was quite… intense :P. I’ve never faced a defense of Egypt quite so vigorous. Very nerve wracking.

@Most:

I’ll pm you when I’ve got the time to set it up. I just lost Berlin in the HBG tourney on the Great War board so I may have some time sooner rather than later.

Sounds good to me…good luck in your tourney

There are some battles where there is no plan b. That is why I wish I had just continued the game - we would have had more fun that way and been a better gauge of our play….
