@666 You couldn’t retreat as you got too many hits. Curse of great dice :P

No worries, game will still be here when you are feeling better. Get well soon!

@666 Good game! Was a challenge to win this one, and I think you still had a decent chance of winning here for what it’s worth.

Well thanks for letting me know.

@mikawagunichi Thanks for the game, it was a good one.

@elche great game Harry. This was difficult and could have gone on for many more turns, it was challenging! Thanks for the game, take care.

@666 Well played GG thank you for the game.

@generaldisarray said in PTV GeneralDisarray v 666 (X+12):

@666 GG thanks for the competitive play.

That wasn’t competitive…Unsure what I did there that caused such a collapse, really in both theatres. I will need to review at some point. GG, well done.

@666

Clearly missed something. It seems improbable that the Allies can recover. Good game on your part.

@max334 said in 22 PtV playoff Max v 666 (axis +12):

@666 Thank you for the game Jim. Just takes too much time for me to even be able to give you a semi good game. And good luck to you as you proceed.

Thanks, I’m happy to play you anytime. If you ever want a game just let me know.

@simon33 thank you, always a good game against you Simon. see you next year I hope!

@aequitas-et-veritas said in PtV AEV v 666 (axis +7):

Congratulations Jim, I concede.
This was the most tense PtV Game I had so far. Ups and downs along the way.
You managed to overcame huge hurdels. RESPECT!

Win is posted.

This was the longest, toughest game I’ve played in PTV. You had me on the ropes for most of it. I think I got lucky. Thank you for the game.

Thanks for the game!

@666 Well played I enjoyed the challenge.

@666 yes, thx also. Hadn’t seen that exact med strat before tbh. Something else to look out for, lol

@666 Thanks, happy new year and a great 2022 to you too!

@666 hey hey 666. Sorry i’ve been a little distracted by other things recently.

no worries, i understand completely

@pejon_88 said in PtV 666 (axis +6) v Pejon:

@666 Your decision to go for Norway you mean? Yeah maybe, since it allowed Soviet to go more on the offensive I suppose.

No, I thought the dice were bad again, but looking back that wasn’t the case…It is important to pick some fights as the allies. it is just when to decide to do it. you choose well.

@nikola1975 said in PtV Nikola v 666 (axis +11) II:

@666 Bah. Even the last attempt did not go through because I can’t count the seazones. Well, it would have probably been 10% battle even in that case, or you would have defended stronger.

Anyway, congratulations, well played! I need to learn to focus, that is lesson number one. And second is - how to survive with Japanese fleet while slowly taking Australia. Hm, I think if I would have tried that, it would never work. US fleet in Atlantic was also never really a threat, it seemed like you are earning much more then you did.

Well, for me, Russians did well, this was the best game I played with Russians for a long time, maybe I should have been even more aggressive with them, I don’t know.

What do you think, what were the key moments (i.e. my mistakes)? Where can I do better in the future?

IMO, your fleet make-up, what you are building, needs to change. you have far too many DD, imo. CV’s & Fgt’s are king. Aircraft are effective on both land and sea.

And yes, I agree, Russia should have been more aggressive, that huge R stack should have tried to take and hold Poland, just my thought…
