Just a reminder to those sneaky Japs, you can’t blitz through a territory containing an AA gun or an industrial complex, those count as “units.” :-D
-
I am okay with the handing over of Moscow :)
Duly noted on the blitzing. -
For the record…Im NOT as ok handing over my capital as Dutch seems to be… :-o :-o
-
We don’t need no stinking Muscovy. All your troops are paper tigers!
-
Yo Dutch….I took a peak at your tourney game…I do not envy you
-
Yeah, that’s been a tough one. I’ve been behind in that one since round 1. I added an inf in Egypt for the, he attacked it on G1 and rolled it. That set me behind huge.
There was an article posted in a discussion board to Larry Harris about a year and a half ago. The author estimated that the Axis taking Egypt on G1 amounted to a minimum 40 IPC swing for the Axis.

Goo forgot the 2 inf in Moscow…

You ready to start our league game OBG? I haven’t forgotten. I’m finally getting caught up enough to get it going….

I will remember that bit of info…but I was actually not talking about military position…but about the environment.
I am ready to start whenever you are in our 1st ever league game 8-)

The little brat should know it….he has done it to me enuff times!

Oh, the environment. I thought you might be referring to that….
Well, I don’t know what to say about that, other than the guy is a just a jerk. It all started when he went off on me in several hateful rants because I didn’t end the 1st round game by VC when I had a chance to take Hawaii, but instead went for a landing on Tokyo… I was far, far ahead, by about 1,200 TUV, so the game was out of hand, but the opponent hadn’t resigned yet and kept playing. The opponent had made a big deal about taking Tokyo from the Japs, so I figured, since I was in position to do so via attrition over two rounds of attacks, I’d make Tokyo the last VC I needed for the win instead of Hawaii (not to mention I also had a decent shot on Washington too). For some reason, I guess because Gamer was the guy waiting to take on the winner in round 2, he took great personal offense to that and started name calling and freaking out about it on me all over the message board… not the other guy for not resigning already(probably because he is Gamer’s nephew). I had been saying that the game was out of hand for several weeks, but the opponent wanted to keep going so I did. Because Tokyo was sure to fall the following round, the whole episode was over a few days of additional delay after the other guy had drug it out for an extra month.
Here’s the final map. See for yourself. This thing was over in round 16 really, but you can see why the opponent might want to continue after he was able to sack Tokyo on a nice move by the US fleet.
Well, it all rolled into Round 2. The guy saying he was certain to crush me and making comments after very roll and every move, the dice were always against him and never against me, etc, etc. He has mocked DAAK.de several times without even knowing what it is, even though I explained to him that it is the premier server of Axis and Allies competition for Europe (and probably the US for that matter).
Just a pretty ugly mess in general. The guy committed several times to stop making comments and just post his turn, but he can’t seem to do it.

Yeah I see your point about Tokyo. I had a run-in with his nephew in a similar game where Moscow fell in round 12, and should have done so in round 6. I had an 86% chance of capturing in round 6 but got diced in a big way. Anyhow, we went on until round 26 before he conceded. I lost track of the fact this is just a game and got annoyed in a big way. In our first game, I resigned by round 7 because I knew he had whipped my butt. It was the first time I had seen a KJF. Then in our 3rd game, he kept saying little things that got on my nerves and I actually resigned and said this is not worth it. But, J-Dub talked me into finishing the game and I got focused back on the fact this is just a game. Some people seem to take this WAYYYY too serious…and you are right about the arrogant part.

Gamerman is definately pretty volatile isnt he? Go through and read how crazy that SOB is sometimes. We have played multiple games with him. He’s a good player and at times he is just fine, in fact he is quite fun to play with, and then all of sudden he goes Bakersfield chimp and loses it. Then he comes back and will be just normal again. I don’t know how much of it is just posturing…for all I know he gets a kick out of people thinking he flies off the handle all of the time, but it is pretty unsettling when it happens, and totally makes the game not fun.

If you can’t have fun playing a game you spend that much time on, what can you have fun doing?
Well all of that aside, it is time for the Japanese.
