Hi gamerman, sorry for the delay. Just like you, I’ve fallen of the conveyor belt. (as a non-native English speaker, I didn’t know this expression before. I thought at first you actually fell off a conveyor belt 😂). I’ve been more busy than ever with work and other non A&A-related things. I also need to practice for a music competition I am having on March 23rd. I have neglected to practice for a long time and now I need to regain the focus. The 9 A&A games I am playing make this period more stressful than it needs to be.
I assume you are still busy as well, so are you OK if we put this game on hold until my competition is over? I think this will benefit both of us.
-
Is fine, yes I have 4 going which is more than I’ve had for years, and springtime with 2 acres in town is going to take a lot of my time
Interesting timing - elche just gave up in the Classic tournament so now I have another game to play
I hope you don’t have to resign other games after biting off too much,
Music is great!
Take care of yourself and watch those priorities! I’ll be here waiting
-
Oop! That also means you have a Classic game to play vs elche
Their 20+ rounder is over so we’re up -
Still super busy? I still have enough games of A&A going that I am not going to pressure you to play yet, just curious how life’s going
-
I will wait a long time (weeks or more) without claiming it over, so do not stress about me,
Hope life is good
-
Has been more than 3 months, do you still intend to come back to this one?
-

Calling the game… bummer…
Will rescind the result and continue if you come back and want to play. Hope all is well.
-
Hey, would you like to continue this one as well? 😁
-
Yes. I’m quite busy and almost overwhelmed at times these days, but I think when a league player offers to continue a game if the missing player comes back that in most cases that should be granted.
This looks like a great game and we got the first 2 rounds out of the way -
Game on! Your turn
I do want you to promise not to bump me or time me out. But if you win, I will change the game result, so it’s actually not “just for fun”
-
You are such a great guy! Let’s assume we simply had a ceasefire going on 😄
I was really busy for some time but the itch to play has become too strong. I want to play games again.
Naturally, you can take as long as you want. If I can take a year to do a turn then so can you! Would you like me to remind you of your turn when it has been a couple of days?
-
Reminders are just fine,
I just need to know I should feel no anxiety - I have too much of that for other areas of my life.Ooh, that Russian tank is looking to raise a lot of money
Oh! I forgot that I actually did play against 2 Yunnan bid games, not just one. Well, I had a real bad time in my other, against the Yunnan bid and Russia grabbing 5 NO’sYeah, a lotta game left to play, that’s why I said “bummer”…
-
Only two games? I thought the Yunnan gambit would be more common!

It is, but I haven’t been back to OOB too long, and in one playoff game I proposed that we share our bid placement openly while we bid, so that I know I’m not facing a Yunnan bid.
-
Also, :) to face a Yunnan bid I must necessarily be playing the Axis, and I don’t always play the Axis, so yeah, you were only the 2nd time

Pretty exciting
I don’t think I’ve ever had someone come back the next year ready to finish the game
Will be really fun to get re-oriented -
When and why did you go back to OOB? And who are you playing right now?
-
And do you do the Yunnan bid when you are playing the Allies?
-
Well I enjoy fielding questions like that.
I would never do the Yunnan bid myself, because my personal opinion is that Japan is designed to take Yunnan J1. A bid against Germany (of limit 1 per territory) doesn’t stop Germany from attacking any particular normal G1 target. In contrast, the Yunnan bid allows 3 or more extra units on Yunnan and that is a lot more disruptive and I think actually goes against the intent of 1 bid unit per territory.
Not only that, but I really like having UK bid units on Europe board. After that, I like Russian infantry on Germany’s eastern front, which happens to reflect historical reality more than Russian planes stopping Japan cold, deep in China. But I’m still not a big fan of making A&A more like history all the time. But some is good.
OOB question later
-
Would you allow me to make a NCM change? I would move the two fighters from Gibraltar to Syria instead of Trans Jordan, and move the two mechanized and the tank also to Syria, instead of Iraq.
It has been some time after my turn, and I also don’t know if you have already contemplated your italian turn. So if you don’t allow that’s fine.
