Not a big deal, but the right order for combat is

1. SBR
2. Sea battles for amphibious assaults + amphibious assault
3. All other combat

It usually doesn’t make a difference and the last was one of those rounds, but sometimes it does. Gamer pointed it out to me in our game awhile back, so I am used to doing combat in whatever way I see fit and still mess up the order sometimes.

I’m not going to drag it out any longer - I’ll post.

Well played Seth.

[boldfresh]

well Seth you are clearly a force to be reckoned with in the 2014 league. Would you like to start your 1st 2014 League game, with me?

[boldfresh]

oh wait that’s only if you are a tier 1 now, which I would think you would be right seth?

[arathorn]

@Boldfresh:

He’ll be at 3,52 (tier 1) after his win over me, so he should be a tier 1.

[seth4god]

Good game Arathorn . . . . 22 rounds. I’m not going to give you a good game, I’m going to give you a great game! Could’ve easily turned out differently had a couple small things gone differently early on. I’m up for a rematch whenever you are, ball’s in your court there.

Looks like Gamer’s keeping me as tier 2 for now. Understandable since I’ve been tier 2 for quite some time. He knows that I’ve got at least one loss coming, against him.

It was a great game. Kudos to you for how you dealt with the loss of Moscow. Your Middle East hold strategy was very efficient. I have been licking my wounds over several mistakes I have sworn to never repeat! Lol

I’m up for a rematch. Should we start a league game for 2014 league?

As long as you rack up another win against a tier 1 or tier 2 player, your average will remain over 3,5

Crossing my fingers for you.

[seth4god]

Yea, the tranny gaffe cost you building up some more forces in England. I don’t know what the odds were, but they were too close to 50/50 for me to feel safe about it. That delay let me build up enough that a SL wasn’t a huge threat anymore. Although it was still a threat I couldn’t ignore with your Kriegsmarine, Luftwaffe, and all your money.

I’m not sure if in the long run your attack on the neutrals was worth it as it didn’t really get you much and it ended up netting me the Aussie minor and all that money in Africa and S. America. The only other ‘mistake’ I really noticed was not keeping the mech when you sacked Moscow. That delay in getting those units south gave UK the time they needed to build up their defense in the middle east.

I know I made some mistakes though as well; stacking Carolines that one time probably wasn’t too smart and put my KJF strat in jeopardy and gave Germany the time they needed to take down Russia. Even without the dicing, looking back I don’t think I’d have done enough damage to take you on the counter. And it set me back 4 turns or so that Germany really profited from.

And then losing Spain also hurt quite a bit, I hated to lose all those planes. If you could hit UK with SL, you sure as heck could take down Spain and I missed it for some reason. Any other mistakes on my part that you saw on your side of the board? Or maybe something that really upset your axis plans?

[seth4god]

I’ll let you bid first for the 2014 game.

You ok with 1 unit/terr bid limit? And are we agreed that this will count for 2014 even if the dice or a mistake end the game prior to the 2014 season? I’m good either way, starting this as a 2013 game with the knowledge this will most likely roll into next year OR just agreeing this is 2014 all the way.
