Elche (+18) vs Gamerman01 (x) BM4 rematch

[gamerman01]

Trulpen wants a piece of me in 2023. I guess with 2 against you in 2023 that makes 3, plus at least 1 for the playoffs.
That’s OK I think.

Thank you!

It was years ago that I played Axis-Dominion, and I was probably at my peak and he was maybe a rising star at the time. Now I am rusty and trying to shake some rust off.

Making a tough move against Pejon - On R4 I attacked Ukraine with 3 infantry, fighter, tac against 2 infantry. I lost 3 infantry and he lost nothing and now he can build there. It was a disaster.

If I can get that done today, hoping to do the Italy move for you. You are right not to quit yet.

[gamerman01]

I don’t think Persia will fall for awhile.

I need a break after a hard US-UK4 against pejon. Interestingly, my USA buy and placement for that round 4 was nearly identical to what you did here!

[gamerman01]

If you keep getting that lucky, I will have a lot of problems. You really mowed down my units that turn

[gamerman01]

Just to be sure, I’m going to ask if you scramble off Gibraltar to 92

Italy SS, FTR, 2 BMB vs USA DD and potentially 1 UK FTR

[gamerman01]

Wait, I need to tweak that combat move a little bit.

[gamerman01]

OK, use I11 scramble 2, please

Scramble to 92?

(Just in case you missed the notification like I do sometimes)

Waiting for a scramble decision, thanks

Hallo Gamerman01,

sorry for delay. At the moment I have a lot of work till 24.12.
I think I cannot move before.
But I will post all my games as lost at 31.12…
If you like to wait I will go on at 24.12.
I try to look for scramble before.

Best wishes for you, Harry

[gamerman01]

Thanks Harry, I understand -
Scramble decision now would be nice, then I can finish Italy.

If no moves until the 24th, that’s OK too. I don’t even worry too much about a result before the 31st, I think I am deciding to not participate in the playoffs. So no worries

[gamerman01]

Actually now I do want to join the playoffs. But it’s no worries because I could resign against Pejon.
If you resign I will have the #1 seed, but this is no pressure. I’ll be around #3 seed if I resign against Pejon and this is very good too.

Just a reminder - waiting on scramble decision here - I know you are busy until at least 12/24

I hope you are doing very well - the emperor sends his regards :flag-jp:

Hello emperor,
I hope you and your family are fine, because of the Blizzard in Your state, I think.
Most work is done and we are all fine. So I will start to play today.
I am happy to hear you will play playoff. I will resign our game at 31.12. But we can finish the game just for fun ?
I will play playoffs too. I can play up to the end of February and cannot move up to mid of April ( can move 1 week in this time). Is this enough time foe playoffs ? If I have time to play I could do some moves a day. Maybe first game is finished up to the end of feb.
Now I read all of your posts and answer later and do scramble decision.
Happy chrismas and best regards from Harry

The Blizzard was Top News in Germany last 4 days.

[elche]

Do you have news from Trulpen ?

[elche]

Scramble please

[elche]

Pejon is very strong player. Ukraine was bad dice but not the main battle. Please send me the file. i am interested to see the game.

I was thinking about this, this morning. You definitely deserve the game to be finished. I still have problems in this game.
I’m not quite done fighting pejon, so then I was concerned a little that neither game would be done this week. I should try to play as much as I can this week.

I will play playoffs too. I can play up to the end of February and cannot move up to mid of April ( can move 1 week in this time). Is this enough time foe playoffs ? If I have time to play I could do some moves a day. Maybe first game is finished up to the end of feb.

Technically the playoff games are supposed to be same speed as regular, but almost everyone is very patient with their opponents even during the regular season. We don’t want people to stay out of the playoffs because they’re not sure they can move fast enough. We still have a game or 2 unfinished from 2021 playoffs - not a big problem.

Now I read all of your posts and answer later and do scramble decision.
Happy chrismas and best regards from Harry

Thank you, and I wish the same!

No, I’m guessing it’s bad.

Our Midwest blizzard?? Here it didn’t hit bad. Just 4 days of 0 degrees F temperatures. We’ve had relatively mild winters in the last several years, but sometimes we get -20 F for days in January. We don’t even know how to deal with that anymore I don’t think.
We didn’t get much snow, I drove back slowly last night from the in-laws Christmas and most everyone was driving too fast. They buy a 4X4 and think that means they can go full speed in any weather.

Supposed to be 40 F and above for the next 8 days or so at least, so that will spoil us. Rain on New Year’s Eve, that is pretty strange here.

[gamerman01]

Here’s my save file with pejon - my antics lost me Egypt early and that plus Ukraine will kill me. Ukraine was a small battle with absolutely massive repercussions.

You don’t want in the playoffs for out-of-the-box, do you?
