    If its official, then lets continue.

    what’s the ruling from Gargantua. I really don’t care either way I just don’t want any further delays this alreadyincredibly slow moving game.

  • '12

    @alexgreat:

    Your worst fear? In case of a ruling, anyone would claim that we would have beaten you had the game run a bit longer? Thats it? That is what occupies you all day?

    So, to make Bold rest even more peacefully, and in all seriousness: No one here will discuss and question any ruling (well, you might, but no one on this side). I cannot say for spectators, of course, but thats not my problem. I have better things to do than a Forum cruisade on why I have been robbed of the chance of beat Team BoldDutch. I know this will not be good enough for you, but its really all I can give you, its a promise!!! Strange enough that this has to be said openly, but since Bold continually claims the opposite, it probably has to.

    As for Dutch: You can ask all you want, and you can certainly draw all sorts of conclusions (as you certainly will), but the inconvenient truth is that Bold just should not have moved Germany, and that a change to ANZAC buy and or movement was indicated as a possibility. I told you so before Germany moved. I even said that the bomber is an issue, and you still decided to move. If that German move is not full acceptance of any change for Anzac, then I dont know. I mean, had I only said “possible change in movement”, we could have a good time right now. “Buy” was said on purpose, though.
    If your only reason and excuse for moving Germany is that “time was up since Alex said later tonight, and its beyond that point”, thats ok and we better leave it at that. You stated your unhappiness, you stated your disapproval, you stated, in essence, that we are below standard in skill as we took so long for this decision while you have it in ten minutes (or, as Bold would have it, also for stalling reasons to get a ruling).

    I am fine with it, thats simply a different opinion, my own is not superior in worth. We stated reasons throughout the game as to why we post in the time we do, that will or will not be accepted by tournament officials and will or will not influence any potential ruling.

    Garg, you know the game thread, say the word here please, rule that the TT is illegal, and we get over this issue, no questions asked.

    By now, a lot of people will think something like “what the hell is going on here…”, so I wont comment any further. Questioning and answering could go on forever, contents 99% predictably anyway.

    my worst fear?  Probably that I will have to continue to kisten to your incessant whining.  Good grief it started in the BIDDING PROCESS and hasnt stopped!  :roll:

    I hate to give official rulings.

    But I will stick to my precedents regarding dice rolls locking things in.

    Thus the Transport purchase is “illegal”…  And anymore discussion on the matter is over.

    Please continue!!!  I want to see the big battles that conclude this game.

  • '12

    i don’t want to leave alex out - i offer to play you as well in the league when this is over (if it ever ends).  there you may take full advantage of the 72 hour time limit for each post and i don’t care if the game takes more than 3 years to complete.  this tourney is different.

    because of how badly italy suffered early in this game we had to take a more conservative approach to make sure that some bad dice couldn’t wipe out a victory.  now that this game is COMPLETELY in hand, i really do wish we could play it to VC completion, but due to time constraints, it does not appear to be possible and i lament that fact greatly.

    cheers

    Alex, I appreciate the sentiments you express here.  I think you are a good player, but you are unfortunately not in a position to play at the pace required by a tournament of this sort.  Really, there should have either been more time for each game, or a more aggressive post speed.  Alternatively, since anzac is determined during the US/UK move, there should be very little time allotted to ANZAC posts.  Just making some mental notes to make suggestions for any upcoming tournament, it looks like there may be an individual tourney in the making on the G40 league boards.

    cheers

    @DutchmanD:

    Make that 3 subs.

    Map posted.

    For some reason this map, which was the final one, was not the one ultimately used by the Allies.  I made an edit to the subs to put them in the right zone, z35, from there the crew of 3 moved to z38.

    One edit:  Infantry goes to Rhod, not Moz.

    LAW 7!
    All parties must use the attached file

    Reference:
    I thought about posting it in Midway… but, there was a logistical possibility of escape.

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    I formally regret not using Law 7 more often in this tournament, but too many people complained.

    Now the allies can’t say they didn’t “get” their transport in the pacific.
