@crockett36 found it.

@simon33 Pretty sure you are right, you had me until the attack on the Allied fleet on the UK coast. It was a near 50/50 battle and went south. That opened up Germany. Additionally, you had bought 10 transports so really lost 2 rounds of buying offensive units+ extra buy for brits.

GG overall!!!

@Adam514 Thank you! The dice were a little on sided, hopefully it reverts for you and Marti stays with me for the finals lol

@gamerman01 @Daaras @Stucifer and I played as a 3 man team last weekend in Dayton in an over the board G42 tournament. We ended up going 2-1 and our one loss was by a single IPC to the eventual champs who apparently haven’t lost in that format in 4 years. They got the final two IPCs they needed on the final Italy turn on a 50/50 ish battle taking Spain.

We’ve all been primarily PTV players here in the league and this was our first crack at an OOB map tourney over the board. There’s definitely quite a few guys in our forum league here that would whoop our butts. Really speaks to the level of play here that there’s probably 10+ guys who are at or above the current national champ over the board standard.

@cwglee51

I want to clarify a few things before we start:

Are we using battle calculators? Are we sending the files to each other here or over email? The play by email function is broken (technical issues) on my end, so we can’t use that (we’ll just have to use the local game function and I’ll track dice to ensure neither of us are cheating). I hope this is okay. Are we using research and development/tech rules?

@BobbaRossa will try something a little different, will message you

@simon33 Oof, yeah those American dice really brought the point home. Yikes. And no worries about dithering, difficult decisions take time.

I’d like to have 45 as that’s typically the lowest I’ll go, if that’s ok.

@Martin Amazing game thank you for playing, if you are ever looking for another game feel free to let me know. till next time my friend.

@axis-dominion lol. reverse of the dice in France.

@simon33

Thx, enjoyed the game!

@Stucifer

Sounds good.

That’s a relief.
I keep playing and playing and not taking new games and yet they don’t go away.
Note to self, don’t enter another tournament when already in 2 of them! 🤦🏻‍♂️

@simon33

Thanks for the game.

I didn’t think the same trick will work again. The German attack of this kind does not allow Soviets not to retreat immediately. They can’t hold the Ukraine or go into Scandinavia. Australia - the same. They need to defend and try to survive.

@Ghostglider said in L25 PTV - 2024 Semi-Final Ghostglider (axis+11) vs axis-dominion:

I surrender.

Congratulation with the win and thank you for a good and fast paced game.

thank you, great game!!! and i really thought you were not going to go for greece again as that didn’t work out well last game!
