@The:
All games need to start moving quicker so they get finished before the end of May
Right.
But I actually ment end of April, when I typed that. :-D
LOL WHAT? I thought I was good till may! Damn.
Anyways… As for what DutchmanD said-he’s right. There are 2 kinds of players.
But without calling myself a hybrid, I’d argue there is a third kind as well.
Logistiscist. These are the guys who build no more than 1 or 2 turns ahead in thier head, who react accordingly to what’s happening in the field - with a specific focus on economic game control as opposed to strategic. LL or regular dice is just fine. It’s about what units CAN do - as oppossed to what they will do, That is the focus. Gandeous strategy is prevented however - as it is regularily dependant on the moves of ones opponent, and how best to pragmatically counter them. Using and moving EVERY single piece on the board into a fluid system IS the perfect game. Taking risks here and there, with a general strategy that encompasses all versions of Axis and Allies (spare the mini games).
I fit into this category. And if you disagree with it’s exsistence, where do you put me then? as a strategist because I stick to my plans? Or as a Gamer because I take risks? Hyrbid maybe…
I hope I see Darth in the tournament, I want to pop some of his Jap transports and cruiser again US1 - coming right across the Pacific!
Gargantua over Quark.
See you all in the next tournament.
Cheers
Quark
Quark fought hard Gentleman. So don’t think less of him just because it was a G4 surrender.
If the dice had even been 40% even favour, he had a good shot at staying in the fight . Except they weren’t.
Butcher over Pavlov. He got burned by dice pretty hard multiple times, otherwise our game would have gone on a lot longer.
DM, should we begin playing second round games as soon as both people are finished with their first round game or should we wait for everyone to finish round 1?
Yuh! inquiring Gargs want to stomp me sooner rather than later :cry:

Good question indeed, but it doesn’t really matter now, when all games should be finished today. :lol:
Sorry haven’t had a chance to update brackets yet, any ongoing rd 1 games can continue.
I will roll for round 2, so feel free to start. I’ll take a look this weekend and updates brackets and stuff then.
So for rd 2
1 - top person starts bidding
2 - bottom
Rolling 1d2:
(2)
Bottom player on bracket starts bidding for rd 2.
Remember to use S02 for rd 2 games.
DD over Boldfresh in a grueling 34 round, 87 page odessy for the ages which included the fall of three different capitols durung the course of the match.
If you love atypical matches where the the Germans control the Atlantic, the Americans land in Tokyo, and the Italians own the Philippenes, Sumatra, and Borneo, then take some spare time to watch how this one unfolded. The match also included several occassions of huge Russian stacks of 80 units in Balk, and Germans taking Mexico. A real fun one.

Was a lot of fun, thanks for the game DD. What will our third game bring??? :lol:
Good luck against gamer, may the dice be fair.

–---------------------
I know there are some players traveling so round 2 will obviously go through June and possibly into July.
I’ll be gone for a week in July. From July 10-16, so we’ll see where things stand at that point. Hopefully we can have rd 3 started prior to that.
Posting the result -
PGMatt over Garg.
Reminder to all players.
Keep things clean and fun. Watch the language.
Any issues with opponents should be brought to me and not dealt with in the game threads.
Thanks.
