Nah, that is just their strategy, they like to slow play to keep the game from progressing to the later rounds.
If it were a cash game poker table sure I’d wait all day, but this is a board game.
Reminds me of the magic card tournaments, every match had one guy who would play soooo slow for their 50 minute matches. That is the strategy though, win the first game and stall the second out.
In axis and allies it could keep the game from going to the later rounds. Generally speaking when I am axis I try to win the game before round 10 by vc count in europe or pacific. So of course I want to progress the game. It is not like there is a secret behind my strategy, it is pretty direct.
Sometimes if the allies are really defensive you settle for an income game. But like usually Russia drops on real fast or japan blows up the pacific. Allies stop both of them they win generally… but if the axis don’t even get to that round… then what is the point of playing?
@Cow:
So what happens when my opponents intentionally decide to post every 72 hour period?
Id say u505 doesn’t negotiate with terrorists cow. ball is in your court to accept his terms, which to tell the truth sound pretty reasonable.
I like this. Terrorists indeed. :-D

The truth is that it all depends on the situation. But, typically the game is for the Axis to expand quickly and for the Allies to turn them back in the later rounds so it it becomes more advantageous for the Axis to slow play after their initial early expansion and not the other way around. Your logic is flawed.
And my slow play had nothing to do with any strategy you seem to have invented in your mind. I deduced from your incessant barrage of posts that you were an impatient person and I did it to to raise your ire simply because I don’t like you. Think what you want, though. Ignorance is bliss.

To confirm, all 4th round games are to use second edition rules correct? when does round 3 officially end?

yes all 4th round games use second addition rules with gargantua’s own special rule of 1 bomber in moscow to start the game.
round 3 deadline is December 31st, hopefully all games will be finished or one side concedes.
games not finished by the deadline go to decision. then the losers cry foul(or farce) and no one wants that.
i’m going to seriously protest this december 31 deadline
there is absolutely no way my game (which just started) is going to make it past round 6 in time
we are averaging about 1 round in roughly 10 days, but even if it picks up in pace, it still JUST STARTED

1 round per 10 days would mean your game could go 3-4 months. We were getting a couple of rounds+ per week i believe (our 3rd round game just concluded after rounds). Perhaps the players should put their heads together and figure out a plan to speed up the action?
People could just play a live game.
wow some teams actually bid + ipcs for the axis. I would never give axis extra money lol. You guys are crazy.
Has someone won this tournament yet? lol…
global takes forever garg… especially by forum considering how many turns are in a round and how many rounds it takes to get a VC win.
Hey love… one of the teams got an axis bid and it was noted as an allies bid.
