Wow…

The Axis are in BIG trouble…

RGP, JeffM,

You’re playing a hell of a good game.

Are there going to be any complaints if I invoke Tournament Rule #7? To make this game a little more ‘exciting’ :D

What is this tournament rule 7 you speak of?

If its some deal where Axis gets to roll for nukes you can forget it.

I have looked and it seems that rule 7 is some unwritten rule where Garg just places new units on the board wherever he chooses to redress the balance created by unlucky rolls.  Assuming this is correct, i am against it in general but specifically because we wanted to play low luck and our opponents said absolutely not.  Jeff is the team captain and maybe he has a different view but to me if you are playing luck, you have to live with the bad luck.

That seems like a sound position rgp.

You win. :)

Rule #7 is written down though, on the first page of the tournament thread.

The specific caveat is that only a single piece/facility, can be given to either side, once per game.

Dice not being the factor I considered so much in this game, as Vold not having a partner.

I’m not going to implement it in cases where people are going to be pissed off though - that’s no fun! and breaks my tournament rule concerning “enjoying” the tournament!

I prefer opinionated to pissed off!

I’ve looked at that thread post 3 times and the rules stop at 6, did you hide it somewhere?

I don’t like any one absurdly lucky roll to determine the outcome of a game either, which is why i play a lot of low luck on gametable but in this game i really don’t see that.

It’s right after rule #6, in point 1 font.  You -can- see it.

But if you want to read it without zooming in, more than likely, it’s easier to just highlight the area, copy it, hit reply, and then read it.

Gee, thanks for the pep talk Garg  :roll:

Allies are doing well and playing a solid game, but they are not marching down France’s tree shaded streets just yet ;)

V

I don’t see a need for any divine intervention.  My partner going on walkabout to find the Magic Carrot is not why Axis is in the state it is in, and as they say “That’s Life”.

I’d rather lose a straight up game than win one that was tweaked.

I know what I did wrong, what I’ll do different next time, and learned quite a bit about TripleA (Jeff and RGP have been really helpful here).  I’ll probably trade my GTO account for playing TripleA games instead, so mission accomplished.

Besides, I don’t see a need to roll over quite yet, but the next round or two will be telling.

V

FYI - something came up and I’ll be in and out for the next few days - I’m not intentionally “slow playing”  :wink:
