X-DAP-05 TeamBoldDutch vs. DairyQryn

I think his J1 approach has merit, however I do not like going for pacific victory as often as Atlantic victory due to my preference to use Germany instead of Japan. I also like to play total victory city’s on the map for axis victory(14 cities total). Play books are just ideas and guidelines to use for an approach, but as for having a specific move and play book to follow the global game, with the advancement in air and naval bases create a much more diversified game in comparison to the old days of having a start to finish blue print like in the original.

yeah i hear ya - so you agree with me that cow’s propensity to “playbook” approaches to this game are detrimental and that he is not well suited to the real time adjustments in strategy that are necessary to be great at this game. reading you loud and clear - and i was thinking the very same thing. :wink:
-
My playbooks do not go past turn 1 for a reason. Variability in dice being the biggest. I do give examples of follow up moves for turn 2+, buys, etc.
The complaints I got from it were generally along the lines of, “now the axis are always winning.”
As far as Veqryn and I go… we both prefer playing Japan. Yes we are a Pacific oriented team. Germany/Italy is doing really well so I am not rushing for an early Pacific win at round 8-9 (would have attacked India if that were the case).
I can still suicide Japan’s air on an attack on Russia to make the odds of Germany’s attack on Russia near 99.9%. Both theaters look strong so I am curious which side will win first.
-
Suicide that air baby!!! :-D

my winnings are going toward gold membership on the site and the other 50 bucks will get kicked into the kitty 4 XDAP II
have you considered donating to triplea? :wink:
-
Hmmm thats a good idea… maybe if I could get some minor changes implemented :wink:
-
I heard rumor there was a new version coming out that is implementing some changes? Release date?
-
Veq we are discussing a possible noncom change. Will probably be settled by tomorrow afternoon but let us know if you are able to make a move sooner than monday and we will for sure wrap it up fast.

I’ll donate a few hundred bucks if it helps get 1914 done sooner… 8-)

Bold, I do agree with you on the not being able to forecast future turns enough due to variables, but in Cow’s play books he states this point also and follows that up saying that there is no way of knowing each scenario. And don’t get me wrong, I’m not harping on you and Cow for secretly loving each other, I just like to scout your guys tendencies as your all very experienced players!
-
I am a guy who still wins even after I post my strategies.
Way better than bold.
-
I do give you and Grasshopper credit Cow, often players on here don’t like to share their intentions for competitive reasons. What does x-dap stand for and how do you get into league games? I just got the global board about 3 months ago but have been playing the original since I was 12(couple centuries ago)!
-
x-dap is this team game tournament thread.
You just put a request in the league forum… there is a sticky thread. http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=28816.0
you can also game non league with anyone on the forum http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?board=40.0

or you can just hop on the triple a lobby and play live games. I prefer to do that.

BY THE WAY MY ORDER OF ALPHA BRAIN JUST CAME IN.
-
I expect Europe NO victory in 12-15 rounds. It almost round 6 and you need 2 more. We shall win in both theaters and be the undisputed victors.
-
Want to play for total victory? If you think you can get victory in both theaters then lets just make this a total domination match.
We should have our noncoms in place today hopefully… dutch amd I have been ridiculously busy.
-
Somehow doubt Veqryn will post anytime soon. I think he is going to have a pretty conservative turn. Maybe he will try something fancy.
My half is not impacted by what he does so much.
-
here’s the latest and greatest. doubt this will change, but as long as veq is giving us the time… :-)
but this is good to go if/when veq is ready. if we change again before he does his turn so be it.
-
that one has a duplicated battleship hold on…
-
ok this is good
