@trulpen I admire your tenacity to fight to the bitter end!

@trulpen said in G40 trulpen (allies +28) vs majikforce (axis) #3:

Thank you for the games. It’s been rewarding.

I’ve enjoyed them, except for one instance. I would’ve asked about that fleet by S Africa if I were you. It was obvious that it was planned to be moved around Africa and not be molested by the Japanese. Not carrying any air on the carriers was a hint. Kind of a big thing. Didn’t feel that was particularly fair play, although most of the times you’ve been fair, supporting and just.

I mean, I have a shitty laptop with a small screen and I notice I miss to look around all of the board sometimes, even though I try to. Things by the edges easily get lost, which doesn’t happen IRL. Especially when operating under stress.

C’est la vie. Good luck with the continuation in the league!

GG! I enjoyed playing you. You are a very good player. I think if you just slow down and keep your games to a minimum you’ll do quite well. I have no doubt you’ll pick up BM3 in no time and be beating people left and right. I too have been burned by not checking all the edges of the map. I have trained myself to do it before I post any turn. I do have a slight issue with your assessment of the S African navy. I looked back at the turn history and you had plenty of chances to move the navy but I figured you didn’t because the Japanese could not reach you. Then I built the harbor with Germany and you were sunk. From my perspective how could I act fairly when it wasn’t even determined what I would buy with Germany yet. Was I supposed to warn you of the potential Axis collaboration? I figured you just missed that combo and for that I shouldn’t have any regret. But no hard feelings you are a tough allied player and that Russian strat you use in regular G40 is nasty to counter. Guess thats one of the reasons BM3 nixed those NO. Good luck in your future games! I am trying to finish up my games and then take a much needed break from the game. Be well!
