@Stucifer

Thanks for a great game. I was deeply worried by Italy’s dominance of the Med and felt the game slipping away. This is why the Allies concentrated on the Atlantic. I can see why you are winning so many PTV games so early in your enlistment in the League.

@mr_stucifer
I only have 2 PTV games, and on a third, all as axis, and I fully agree. The us doesn’t need to buy much to keep Japan in check, which means Germany and Italy are in trouble too.

Sorry, this was a mistake!! I was not supposed to write here

@gamerman01

do you mean the win over Andrew? Ya, maybe my most brilliant game and his weakest - so it worked out

I’ll let you know when I have bandwidth to start another game, probably next week at the earliest. It may need to be longer since I want to participate in the playoffs

yes, exactly

I sent my questions to Lafayette to make sure I understand the ramifications.
I won’t alarm the league until he answers my questions.

@AndrewAAGamer
Thanks for that overview! Sounds like a first pick for getting back into reading novels!

It seems that way.

Plus, it’s just difficult to adapt. I think PtV is a great mode on paper, but I when I played it I kept forgetting the rules, because I was so used to BM

@Sovietishcat said in Playoff - Sovietishcat-Avner - L+4:

@Avner This game is yours, I concede. Well played and was fun.

Happy new year!

Letting the Japanese become a monster is always a risk… I had been thinking about this move on J13 (or Hawaii or Australia) for a couple of turns already because otherwise there would have been no solution for the Axis given the situation in Europe.

Best wishes to you too.

Danke für die Infos.

@Martin thank you for this lucky gg!

Danke schön.

Ich fand unsere auch sehr Spiele spannend und auch besonders. Du wagst dir viele Sachen die ich vorher noch nicht so kannte. Nicht nur Sealion, Fabrik in NU bauen und mit der Marine aktiver sein und die japanischen Flugzeuge haben meine Chinesen ohne Bodentruppen angegriffen und vernichtet.

Das mit den edits würde ich genauso handhaben. Grundsätzlich lasse ich jeden ncm edit zu. es ist sonst nicht mehr das “echte” Spiel. Das ist der einzige Nachteil am PC Spiel, dass wenn abgeschickt kann man nichts mehr rückgängig machen. Und es gibt viele Sachen die man übersehen kann. Nur durchgeführte Kämpfe würde ich nicht zulassen außer man würde dadurch direkt verlieren oder wie bei unserem BM Spiel mit den russischen Schiffen, wo der Kauf dann keinen Sinn mehr macht. Ich möchte ja auch nicht gewinnen durch offensichtlich vergessene Züge vom Gegner. Aber da waren wir doch beide immer großzügig und du hast mir sogar erlaubt den battle mit den Russen und der AAgun zurückzunehmen.
Dann warten wir mal auf gamerman und können das Playoff starten.

@Karl7 It was such a long game. Fun, but time-consuming. I think we both played well. evenly matched opponents.

Hey mate.
How are things, are you having great holidays?

Let me know if you have time for a rematch now.

Thanks for an exciting and close game!

Germany is huge and not much was missing for you to win this

Thank you for a good game.
