@Avner thanks. I thought you were vicariously rooting for the Italians. 56 Ipc economy was the largest I’ve had for the Italians!

@666
I mistakenly loaded all 4 Ita Inf from Northern Italy instead of 3 and one from Southern Italy. I edit-moved the Southern Italy Inf to Yugoslavia.

If you are not ok with that feel free to edit the Inf to Northern Italy

@Omni Still here…Hope your having a good time for the holidays.

@fasthard said in L25 BM4 fasthard(X) vs Amon-Sul(L+24):

@Amon-Sul me too. Since I haven’t played OOB for a long time (and never via forum) I prefer to play BM. Looking forward for our games in 2026!

I am thinking about a bid

IC Egypt

Does it sound interesting enough :D

@cwglee51

Thanks for the game, was a fun one. Do you want to run it back swapping sides, or have another go with same sides?

@simon33 I will resign this game, I don’t have time to play anymore and I think my position is losing anyways, thanks for the game!

@fasthard Good game!

Thanks for the game!

I think you have to give up on the J1 in that scenario. With the Yunnan stack, China gets strong, so you need to kill China first. I tried to kill China first with the J1 but it wasn’t enough for me. Often, a J2 goes well against a Yunnan stack I think. I’m one of the only players that goes J2 frequently but in G40 J1 is so much better because you can kill India quickly. But you kept India alive and a big stack up north which kept my attention divided. Perhaps I should have ignored the northern stack, not sure.

Also, the 2tt landing on Java was inspired and kept me from retaking it, assisting with Japan’s collapse.

@666 Thanks. It was a long one, but fun!

Good game. You played well throughout, we’ve all had those moments. Thanks for a great match and I’m up for another anytime

@axis-dominion that is good enough for me. It was a fun game and well played!

yeah great game as always. allies took a lot of beating yet still kept coming back lol… quite a resilient bunch! we still managed over 30 rounds

I thought I was rather careless on a couple of occasions, but kind of thought it made for a different kind of game. And glad I could still make it interesting despite some tough losses.

Hopefully we get to do another in the next playoffs.

@nikola1975

Thanks so much.

@mikawagunichi

New game is posted and awaiting your scramble decisions.

@Stucifer I understand. I do like it as a touchstone. I honor it as the foundation of everything else. I will always be willing to play it. It is the lingua franca for the normies to pick up the game. I think we should be able and willing to translate 42 or any variation back to the “masses” and the new players.

Funny, J1 is rather out of fashion in the games I play. I’m not in the running as a great player, but I wouldn’t agree that it is scripted on the allied side. Unsurprisingly, I find the German play monotonous.

All that being said, the lack of love 42 gets here is…silly. If you accept the victory conditions and the time limit, it is a wild ride of trying to maintain an edge all over the map. Really unique.

@mikawagunichi Thanks for the interesting game!
