Sorry Stalingradski, i forgot 1 important NCM…

Can you edit and put my 8inf in Pol to Hungary ?

If it’s too late, i’ll live with it, no problem.

Thanks

I think your sub cannot leave because he was there at the begining + Germany has got a destroyer
I may be mistaken

@Stalingradski:

No problem sir - I’ve just rolled dice for Baltic States and Baltic States only. It doesn’t affect my move.

I have an issue - the game interpreted my sub in SZ110 as conducting combat. I wanted to move it out in NCM, and obviously not fight your fleet. Apparently this version can’t make that interpretation for you, but I don’t think I could have moved it in the combat round. Regardless of the dice, are you ok with me moving it to SZ125?

No problem, move the sub to sz125. If you can’t edit it because you got a message like that : “end of pending move”, then leave it here, or even fight, and Pomme will edit it on Japanese turn.

@Septimus:

I may be mistaken

You are !  :wink:

that’s fine, imhotep  8-)

@Stalingradski:

All apologies for the number of edits - everything was above board, but needed to happen. I’m not used to this platform yet - still thinking in terms of ABattlemap and all the editing usually done.

The chance of this game continuing is very slim - I’ll talk to Antholin and get his thoughts. Britain and Russia together can’t sustain continuous extra losses combined with below odds Axis losses. Our chance in this game came down to Russia holding the line for a few turns, and Romania may have been our Waterloo!

Please give us a chance to discuss before Japan’s turn, so nobody has to waste their time.

Just reviewed that Romania battle….just one word : OUCH !!!..Hideous result for Russia.
Sorry about that luck we’re having there.

POMME WILL NOT POST HIS TURN BEFORE TOMORROW EVENING SO YOU GET THE CHANCE TO DISCUSS AS YOU WANT.

Review of the game :

List of Allies bad luck:

–Eth UK1
–sz106 UK1
–Taranto cost 1 too many plane UK1
–Yunan India 2
–Rom R3

List of Axis bad luck:

–Sze J2 cost 1 too many plane
–Epl G3 cost 1 plane

If we just look at Rom, no need to be a genius to understand Allies got very rough dices.

If i may, in case you want to know: i think your team has done only 1 mistake in this game. After taking out of UK 1 mec, planes for Taranto and having no reinforcement from Canada at all, putting 3 land units in Saf instead of UK was just too much. It is exactly that which made me decide for Sealion instead of Barbarossa.

Now, in case you want to continue this game, i must warn you :  My team is NOT to take the rest of this game lightly. Quite the oposite actually : we’ll take extra care of every move, and fight as efficiently as we can because we know that nothing is more dangerous than a wounded animal !

:lol: :wink:

@Stalingradski:

The Headless Neds lay our swords at your feet. The victory belongs to Team Imhotep! It is deserved - you collectively made great choices, sound moves, and deserved the win.

We have an offer - since it’ll likely be awhile until your second round game, would your team be open to another game against us, but played outside of the tournament? Same rules, same platform, same people? The game can be run in the normal game threads, if you guys are interested. Our team is intersted in working out the communication & platform kinks, since we’re all ABattlemap people.

What say you?

Again - congratulations on the win.

Okay, had already typed my post before i saw your surrender.

Thanks for your fair play.

Team Imhotep accept gladly a friendly rematch against The Headless Neds !

Will open a thread tonight, and this time, Septimus will handle Germany !
