@aequitas-et-veritas

I’ve probably played about 6 or so games of PtV as the Allies, most German openings have been taking Normandy and Paris whilst attacking chunks of the Royal Navy. Triggering Vichy seems the right thing to do also. Your purchase of the major IC was interesting and would like to see the long term affect of Germany being able continually drop a lot of units close to both Russia and the Middle East.

That purchase does free up the British to buy offensively on UK1. My initial reaction was that it would allow Germany to aggresively push through Ukraine and into the Middle East and get around Moscow or towards India depending on strategy, dice, etc… but at the expense of giving Russia or the UK opportunities elsewhere on early turns.

I liked the mix of units purchase G2 and G3. You’re not badly poised with Germany for the assault on Russia, especially in the south, and the only Allied shipping is on the other side of the Atlantic. Italy is controlling most of the Med as well so that’s one less thing for Germany to have to worry about at the moment (I have been much more aggresive towards Italy in more recent games as the PtV objectives can let Italy become a difficult problem for the Allies if not given enough attention).

Russia does have a bit more of a sting in PtV, in another game I have captured Finland with nothing in Norway to stop me and have nearly 60 IPCs of income on turn 3!

I’ve attached the save file from the best German play I’ve experienced so far, Adam514 is kicking my butt in this game (I have just offered him a draw if he asks nicely :wink: ).

I’m not the most experienced player but those are my thoughts for what they are worth. If you have specific questions I’m happy to try and answer them. I will be asking you for feedback once the game is settled.

It was very interresting to read your thoughts and opinions about our game and PtV in general. For my self, i have nearly the same thoughts as you.

If one side does bad, you still have the other side of the whole theatre.
What really frustrated me was the fact that PtV has a much greater impact than BM3/4 on this matter I think. While you now have more options with Japan, the time window for Germany is closeing in faster.

Maybe that would be the propper solution to play PtV without a bid at all by simply extend the supplyline EUS vs Gibraltar by one additional SZ.
But this needs to be discussed elsewhere and should not come now from me since I play Axis and would wish for some sort of inner relief :blush:

At least I also know that I am doing not sooo bad, wich is something.

This is fine with me

@gamerman01 said in League General Discussion Thread:

Guys, I’m thinking about resigning as league moderator and scoreboard operator. I don’t want to leave you in the middle of a year so intend to finish this year out and set up playoffs and everything, but maybe somebody should come alongside me and learn some of the ropes, or maybe you guys have an idea of another direction to take all this.

Contributing to this decision is that I did have my first manic and depressive episodes this year since 2005 (still pretty depressed - trying to get the right meds) but I wanted to get out anyway, since I haven’t found the time to play any league games myself.

I intend to help make a smooth transition if someone else is eager to moderate and score games (maybe a team) - I’d been doing everything with no partner for years now (Although having a partner can mean more work if they have differing ideas than you)

Please think about it - sorry - I guess this day had to come sooner or later. Thanks for understanding

Gamer

All I have to say to this is, that I am not a Big fan of this.
I totally understand your situation (been there). But I really hate the situation itself that you are leaving and would rather have you stay and doing the Mod and the League Ref. stuff.

All I can say is, there will be better days and sometimes not. Just try to keep reminding yourself on the good things in Life.

All I want to say is, take good care Brother in triple a Arms, get Free soon and that you will come back. Here is allways an open Ear,open Arms and Peoples who will help you!

All good. I apologize for the wait. I had a load of work at my job lately.

Is there allready somebody out there interested to keep the scoreboard running and or is willing to become League Mod??

The scoreboard isn’t updated since mit June i think…

@gamerman01 thank you!

@avner excuse my absence.

Will post Wednesday the latest.
Can’t get arround it right now.

@sovietishcat excuse my absence.

Will post Wednesday the latest.
Can’t get arround it right now.

There is a scramble in sz 110. I assumed no Scramble against 98% odds.
If I was mistaken, let me know and I will reroll there.

Also I apolgize for not responding within the three days.
My Router was broken and is fixed now.

@surfer full scramble, is that correct?
You gave two answers now and i want to be sure.

Thant makes more sense, then.
The history panel is prob. not updated yet bc the game wasn’t fully posted.
Yupp, i just reran the battlecalc. You are right!

@gamerman01 is there allready someone who is interested in running the League as a Mod?

@gamerman01 said in League General Discussion Thread:

I haven’t heard from anyone who I think could do it, no. But I’m gradually getting better and have been able to keep up with duties so far.

The position is always open though - I’m willing to hand it off to someone who has enough experience and good reputation

I am very happy that you getting better. Good News!
Step by step.

My Computer crashed two times on me.
I redid my Turn with rolling combat dice again (Battle of the Caucasuss).
It was the same outcome, so no need for me to edit anything.
On the Convoy blockade I can not remember, but I am pretty sure it was arround the 80’s as well I earned. I am just not sure if I took any convoy dmg, but that would be one or two IPC’s. Like I said I remember to have earned arround the 80’s.
If you have any concerns regarding my Ger Turn, let me know and we will sort it out.
I apologize for the inconveniance.
Best regards
AetV

I rolled via the Combat dice roller on the game. You should receive the Dice email from Marti to confirm my roll. I rolled a one for my Ftr first round.
If you have questions or concerns, please let me know and we will sort it out.

I concede Avner, well played.
Should have showed more teeth and bite ! GG

I assumed no scramble. I think this is ok?
