PtV AEV v 666 (axis +7)

666 over AetV

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/38138/ptv-aev-v-666-axis-7/334

A very strong play from 666. He overcame obstacles and kept a cool head.
The dice played him very hard but he managed and showed the dice gods where to put the snake eyes!

OK! Did a little analysis on 2023 to date. (yeah, it’s not my turn in either game, right now :relaxed: )

We are a little over 1/3 done with 2023 (believe it or not).
Overall games are steady from 2022.

Balanced Mod is down significantly - can be accounted for by trulpen health issues, and 1 other of the most active players of 2022

Path to Victory holding steady from 2022 so far. 2021 a big year for PTV when it was new/newer, of course.

BUT! Out of the box has come back to life?!
Hmmmmmmm… I never did like the Iwo NO or all those Med NO’s… Oh, that’s right, they tried to make almost every island worth money - never agreed with that.
Or changing the capital rules to where you can’t raid money more than once…
Or the China rules… Hmmmmmmmmm

But those Russia NO’s were sorely needed. And I don’t even remember what the Japan/Russia at war rules were, they changed several times. BM was good on that.

[gamerman01]

I didn’t write -
OOB up from 30 games 2022 to on pace for 78 games 2023.

You read that right.

Yes Dawg and Mike played in 19 of the 27 games so far, but they only finished 2 games between themselves so far, so most of their games are with others.

Simon33x Over TheVeteranA+15 BM3 The russian army got away but it wasn’t enough to keep the Germans from capturing enough cities to catch the W. GG Simon.

I agree on Iwo/Okinawa, China rules and USSR NOs but the Med NOs spice up the Med and the revised capital capture rules are great.

First league game finished?

Welcome, @TheVeteran! May it be the first of many. League is great for having a variety of players to play, and having a good idea of their skill level before you even start.

After a few games, you’ll have a good idea of how you measure up!

[TheVeteran]

@gamerman01 not my first - used to go by bretters - you advertised me to help get me back in a game - remember? Haha

[gamerman01]

Only because you remind me, then yes, and thanks for replying.

@gamerman01 you’re welcome

@karl7 Well fought Karl7. I’m only a little fish here in this pond, but I appreciated the innovation, trying to change the math by going for the neutrals. I’ve wondered whether S. American and Southern African money might be worth the cost and delay. Probably not.

At some point in time, we might consider amending the bid placement rules to spice up oob. Andrew has proved that the “central powers” ie those in the middle of the board have a huge advantage. Don’t get me wrong, Andrew. You are very good. But you choose the Axis for a reason. As a play tester, I know that skill is not the only factor effecting the outcome of a game.

So Karl, please don’t give up on OOB as hopeless, but push for change in bid placement. I have some ideas about that, but I’ll bet you do too.

well, I think I could beat a lesser player than Andrew, but he has it down to a science.

In the last couple games, I was able to get the upper hand overall, but then he skillfully just crammed one side of the board with both Axis powers for the win. It’s the winning move! LOL.

In this last game Germany was checked and we were closing in and Japan was dong ok. But then Germany dived for India leaving Russia free. So even if Allies could get India back from Japan it was hopeless.

Game before this (?) Japan was basically defeated but it cut and run for middle east and nukes everything in sight for the win.

That being said some of the games were just straight up Axis wins with no hope for allies.

@wizmark (Allies) over @Shin-ji (Axis +8) in a PtV game. I think perhaps the J1 DOW may have been a little greedy on my part.

However, I do have one win to note, as I was already basically winning this game before @nikola1975 disappeared.

Welcome back, Shin Ji!
Returning from 2019.

[gamerman01]

Note that I’m making a judgment call and assigning tier 1 until you reach 3 games, then it will be adjusted if necessary.
