Yes, that was an interesting game.

I’ll post the result.  :-D

(also, I apologize if I sounded bitter about overlooking Poland … just last month, I lost Berlin in an tourney game that we’d been winning due to an easily preventable error … I have something of a knack for snatching defeat from the jaws of victory)

Actually my stats are going to dip again.  Forgot Poland was a VC  :lol:

I’m not really in contention for a spot in the league championships, but I will attempt to play everyone in the league before the end of the season.

Ok, no response so I’m going to call it.

Let me know if you want a rematch.

@variance:

Meh I’m just going to quit.  You win.

All right, GG.

It’s been an interesting game. Can you please post the results in the league section?

Thanks, I’ll post the win.

Italy is a B*&%$ to protect, especially in the face of the US/UK one two punch.  I really thought you were just leaving is open because you knew you had to move on Russia with everything and didn’t care anymore. It’s a cheap move for sure, but then… You’re one of the best players on the boards so I’ll take whatever I can get!  :lol:

As for the game overall, I have a little different take.  I thought you could have taken Russia around round 14 or at least seriously threatened it.  I thought the German diversion into the middle east, while very successful, bought the allies time.  I also think the neutral crush may have helped me too in as much as it opened up more of Europe to be contested. I knew I cold not have dislodged the Italians from Spain without great loss.  So I decided to ignore them and just resume my Iceland - northern europe shuck and leave the Italians down there.

The destruction of the Japanese fleet was a major victory for me. No question.  Lucky too.  I’d say the effect it had on the game was more to free up the Atlantic and open western europe to attack.  Not sure how critical that was given Russia was all that mattered.  If I could hold Nor and Kor to shuck ftrs to Russia I think my position was as good as it could get.  The only real pressure point I had, I think, was to try to get back Egypt.  But that seemed unlikely.

All that aside, this is probably the most titanic game I have ever played. I feel like I just gave birth to Kittens!  :-o

Yes, we are allowed a playoff game.  Let me know when you want to start.  I may need a few days to gather myself though.  :lol:

Ok thanks for the game. Maybe we’ll meet in an expanded playoffs.

Beware his bombers Karl!

thanks for the games kabloom.

you are a fun and fast opponent and look forward to playing you in the league next year.

Bump

Bump. Sorry mate, I have to declare this a win.

Thanks to you too!

Good game and good luck.

–Jeff

sure thing.
pm me your bid!

29548 is the game ID

May you have average or slightly (very slightly) above average dice.
Man, average dice will seem like tremendous luck to you at this point, I’m sure.

@Jeff28:

Ok I surrender.

Well played. Maybe I’ll try the rematch soon as I wrap a couple other games up.

–Jeff

thanks for the game jeff it was fun and you played well.
early on when your germans were waltzing towards russia i thought you had me. but japan has a very steep fall. when they start to go down they collapse fast.

i look forward to the rematch

@JWW:

@Boldfresh:

was really fun to play again JWW.  the dice definitely had your number in this one, after that first round head fake.

is it that only 2 league games are allowed per year in the G40 league?

cheers

i am not sure if Jenn incorporated that rule? regardless we will meet again!  :evil:

looking forward to it.  take care and good luck in the league - go beat the snot out of some people!  the league is really active, i am lovin it.

Oh yeah, no rush.  PM me when you got an opening.  I’ll be sure to crack a beer when I get the message!    :-D

My standard strategy was J4 which seems outdated now.  Especially against good players.  Anzac’s annoying trns and dds really slowed up Japan.

Oh - one quick note - if you do not mind - post the results in the G40 results forum….thanks!
