L24 OOB Gamerman (X) v Stucifer (L+51) with Tech!

Ghostglider just won the PtV championship this year too, right?

You’re very modest, I’ve been watching the BM finals review with Crockett36 and I’ve been thoroughly picked apart in this game, well at least in Europe haha

[gamerman01]

Maybe I missed a game or two, I have ghost waiting for the other side.
He actually beat Adam and he’s got the highest ELO in PtV

Yes the 2014 championship was one of my greatest A&A accomplishments. Ghostglider is awesome at all versions.

You’re right, Germany came right back to me. Muffed Japan, never been suffocated that fast before I don’t think. JDOW I think came up with that Yunnan gambit and it is super nasty.

[gamerman01]

You have noticed I have sacrificed a fair amount of Italy and Japan’s forces and time and attention on Russian assets.

It’s more sound to be strong on both sides, of course, but it looks like this is going to work well, along with some very nice dice assists

Will get this Italy done tonight for sure. Bummed I didn’t get notification of your move

[Stucifer]

Yeah I learned from the greats in the strategy threads and a couple YouTube channels - GeneralHandGrenade & YoungGrasshopper.

Have you played YG’s 3G40 setup with combined UK Pacific & ANZAC? I played my friend Culann a few times using the tripleA servers and set it up to play live with another friend once.

[Stucifer]

Ah, you’re probably right. Just saw that he beat Adam which is quite the accomplishment.

[gamerman01]

I actually haven’t played any Young Grasshopper stuff, I loved his NO’s placards years ago but didn’t actually use them, I don’t have people to play F2F

That hurts a little, I came up with a mod that makes G40 a lot more like AA50 and it included eliminating ANZAC as a separate power, merging it with India.

It would still be an awesome mod if several people were to get interested and we program it into Triple A. Would need a lot of playtesting

[gamerman01]

I think it’s funny I asked you if you want 4 IPC tech or tokens and you said BOTH/AND

I haven’t played tech since 2013, so getting long range jets with Germany makes me very happy

[Stucifer]

There is a version you can download and play with TripleA, I’ll see if I played any via the forums or if they were all on the tripleA lobby

I’m all for the idea of tech, just wish there was a better way to handle it…the way it’s implemented OOB is pure luck. I love it for fun games like these! :)

@gamerman01 not to distract you from returning to OOB, but if you ever wanted to try it out in the Play Boardgames area I’d be down.

[gamerman01]

I think we found a great formula for tech in G40 here

OK, Italia

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 Haha, yep! now if I can only convince the dice gods to favor the United States with a beautiful 6…

[gamerman01]

Sorry you had to undo jet power…

I wasn’t even thinking, I have a counter-attack set up (by dice) on 33…

[gamerman01]

What a huge defense of Normandy, man I needed that

[gamerman01]

The Russian sub was in 105, then moved to 91 on Russia’s turn. Did you edit it to 93 because you thought you forgot it?

I’m putting it in 91

Yes I did, sorry! thanks for catching that.

You might rethink that after ANZAC moves ;)

[gamerman01]

That’s why you didn’t hit the carrier…

Yep,
Just so you stay away from my Italians…
