P40 VonLetto (x) v Gamerman01 Pointlessly Broken, USA is doomed game 1

Oh! I believe it’s your password to your e-mail account - have you tried that?

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.6.1.4, time: 13:48:19

So now I have to register my email somewhere to roll dice. What is the problem with a live game? We play till we have no time left and then continue later.

This is the first test game of the KUSAF strategy on 2nd edition P40.
Woo-hoo! Gam-er-man! Gam-er-man!

For the record, I do not assure that it will kill the US every single time. What I do assure is that if Japan starts out this move, in almost a dozen games any Allied adaptation has been futile, not necessarily for the taking of USA, but for the Allies winning the game.
Understood. That’s why I said “with a very high percentage” chance. If I err not, you have claimed 70% odds on USA and >90% odds on USA in previous posts. If I can play it so that you only have 50% or less odds on USA and do not have a dominant position to win the game at that point, then I will have proven the game is not broken. You need to have at least 60-70% or better odds on the USA by like what, round 5? to prove anything at all. Do you not?
Sounds mostly agreeable if I understand it correctly, but keep in mind that we have to consider the contingency of Japan switching gears too.
Honestly, this is all quite a lot of hassle to test a strat in a game that I am not convinced more than 11 people worldwide actually play. I am literally the only person I know of who hosts pac games on TripleA. PM me when you have a 2 hour block to test this out. I see no point in waiting for forum posts constantly when it is much easier to play live.
-
Well if it’s too much trouble vonLettow I might be willing to play Japs against Gamer to test it, and you can advise me.
But imho you should give it a go–it’s totally worth it to learn play-by-forum. A little hard/tedious at first, but very easy once you get the hang of it.
Just register your email here and you’ll be all set

I was up intially for trying it once, but after twiddling my thumbs for the past two hours while getting exactly 0 rounds of the game in where we could be at round 6 in a live game, I feel severely frustrated and like I am wasting my time.
Constantly checking back in the forum is cool if you don’t have the time to lay aside a couple hours to play or if you are a notoriously slow player, but I want nothing to do with it. It’s been almost half an hour since I posted the issue I was having with dice, and in that half hour we could have done a round.
Gamerman, again, lmk when you got a few hours. It’s nothing personal, but I am very frustrated for this immense waste of my time.

Thanks for the info Zhukov.

Is it possible to unsubscribe from the dice emails spamming up my inbox without unsubscribing from the dice service? I want to make sure before clicking the unsubscribe link.
-
Just create a rule in your e-mail program to automatically route all e-mails from “MARTI” to a separate folder, and then they won’t be filling your inbox.
Dude, quit your whining!
First of all, there are a lot more than 11 interested players in the world.
Second of all, Krieghund is about to change the rulebook after one player presents a strategy, with no demonstrations? And now you’re not willing to play a game or two on a format you’re slightly unfamiliar with to prove it?What’s the deal, man? Are you for real?
-
I’m beginning to wonder if you’re doubting your bullet-proof strategy now!
If it’s so great, put in a little time to prove it to all of us other A&A fans! This game has been out for 2 1/2 years (it’s still basically the same thing). If you can’t wait a week or two to play through a game claiming that it’s all busted, I don’t know what to say.
-
Actually, E40 came out 2 1/2 years ago. P40 is 3 years old - it’s growing a beard!
-
Unfortunately, I have to leave for a couple hours. I have several other games going, but hopefully I can complete round 1 tonight.
I can’t remember for sure, but I think the other strategy involved declaring war on J1, so that might be a big difference. I think it also involved crushing Hawaii on round 1 too, but again, I can’t remember for sure.
Doesn’t matter - I’ll play this out. Even if I only do a round a day, this should take less than a week.
-
There it is. If this starts stretching into days what can be done in a couple hours I might just bow out.
:? Not showing a lot of belief in the strategy you spent hours typing out for everyone to see. Put up or shut up.
-
One of the many issues here is that you come on acting like you are god’s gift to balance testing and then challenge my findings and then have the audacity to demand that your challenge be carried out at your convenience. I have played this a dozen times on TripleA, where were you during those tests? Why only now after I am quite tired of this whole thing do you come on and act as though there is no issue?
I have demonstrated it plenty. I have had an open invitation to come play me on tripleA for some time now.
You challenged me, and I was willing to try this forum hassle out to an extent but it is just a headache.
2 1/2 hours of getting nothing done is a waste of my time.
I’m on TripleA right now. I got a room open with your name on it. Come on in.
Not really sure what your E40 comment is about btw. Â I am literally the only person I have ever seen hosting Pac 1940 on TripleA, and I have been quite active in the lobby for at least 5 months now, and slightly active for a while before that.
-
That’s because a lot more people play by forum than live.
I told you I have to go for several hours.
I haven’t played a whole game in one sitting for years.
If you have so many games played out, then why don’t you upload the TripleA files for these games for all to see? Or is that not possible with “live” playing?
I’m sorry I came across as so offensive. Understand that I’ve heard this song and dance before, about how the game is broken and there is this unstoppable strategy to wipe out the USA 80% of the time and the game is broken.
Why so huffy? Jeez, you’re not really so polite yourself. All we’re asking is that you show us your strategy in action. We prefer two different ways of playing, that’s all. I never dreamed it would take ANYONE 3 hours?? to play a J1. How long does it take you “live”
No need to be so freaking hostile. Take a chill pill, dude, you aren’t accomplishing anything by getting all upset.
-
I am NOT going to waste hours of my time playing a game with someone who is not polite and respectful.
Few people give a crap about P40 anyway - everybody’s playing G40 BY FORUM. About 100 games have been completed in just the past 2 months.
If you can’t show us your strategy on a game board, then I’m going to tell Krieghund to ignore all your “findings” and not change any rules. What are you trying to accomplish, anyway, other than to show everyone how smart you are?
