Jmite (allies) vs CJen (axis) Alpha +3 game 1 no tech

@zlefin said in G40 OOB zlefin (L+45) v BobbaRossa (X):

aye, quite necessary indeed. Weirdly, the site wasn’t working for me all morning, I could see stuff, but couldn’t post or send messages or anything.

I’ve realized I made a couple modest play mistakes in my opener, but that’s what happens when i’m a bit rusty and unoptimized. still plenty of useful data and thoughts acquired.

Was wondering why there weren’t more posts from anyone. That would explain it.

What would you have done differently so far?

@mike64 Mike i would so like to play again, no bid, i would like to play next game same as this one, as axis, if i lose “hard” as this game, we can go with bid, as this was my first game i am very happy how i played, i did have few opportunity that i missed and fail hard on transport ships and units there, as i did not know rules regarding ship movement and base 2+1 move :) but it was too late in 5 or 6 move :D

So lets try another game same as this one and lets see what will happen :)

I hope you enjoyed the game. Since I’ve never played before, I also want to thank you for this—I really enjoyed it, and thank you for giving me the chance to gain some additional experience.

If you don’t mind, please start a new thread on the forum and tag me—I’ll take the first turn.
I’m going to play this next game much more slowly, so please don’t hold it against me: moves every two or three days. I want to deeply analyze what I’m doing, and I hope you won’t mind. :)

Thanks, Mike.
