@coorran:

I had done the batle calculator (like you, I assume  :-) ), and I had, on average 1.5 more unit left than the attacker + 3 TRN (meaning losing ALL units for Italy). Instead, you get away with 4 units (and an undammaged AC, so it’s like 5 units). That’s tough luck!

That being said, dice is dice for everyone!

The DD and carrier couldn’t participate in the battle because of range so those would have been there anyway. we had three survivors instead of 0-1 and you had 2 instead of I don’t know maybe 3-4. An attack on a carrier with 2 fighters and a dd with 4fighter and 1 tac could still have gone wrong and we could have sunk your surviving BB with 4fighter, 1tac of Germany anyway maybe even without losing anything. So yes we were lucky but not that much above average to really matter all that much.

[questioneer]

Russian turn soon. :-)

[Gully]

…well, this is a very generous “soon” ;)

Japan stands ready.

[allweneedislove]

no teams have dropped from the tournament at the end of xdap round 3.
assuming the 4 teams yet to start their round 4 games do so in the next couple of days, there will be no re-alignment of the bracket.

with no re-alignment, the winner of this game gets a buy in round 4 so this game does not need to go to a decision. you would then have almost a 2 month extension.

keep playing this game.

Could you move our game to the next bracket in the overview?

[coorran]

Scramble W. Germany against BMB raid?

You are hopefully aware that stalling for 95hours and 38 minutes is very insulting.

And no interceptor.

[coorran]

Listen, when you have a job, kids, and it’s the Holidays, a TripleA tournament falls very, very far in your priorities.

Since this game seems to mean a lot to you, please do take it.

Congratulations.

My comment was more aimed at Questioneer. While you did post you sides fast enough after a bit of nudging he has made us wait so long in practically every round of Russia since the start of the game not just during the holidays so I apologize to you if you felt offended it was aimed at somebody else.

So should I assume for now that all members of QCoorantineV are conceiding this game because of a lack of time?

[questioneer]

My apologies, this tournament has slowly fallen off my priorities also.  With family and work, I haven’t had much time.  I officially condede.  I wish I could finish it out, it was a good game.  Good luck the rest of the way.  Maybe later someone could pick me up as a partner in a few weeks when I am not so busy.  Too bad this tournament is so long- that G40 though- very long.  Very fun, but you really gotta make the time.

After playing G40 about 30+ times now, its starting to bore me a little.  I’ll look forward to AA1914 but not much else.  I’m getting that feeling after I played AA50 like 50+ times, time to play some other games.

Anyway good luck.
