@max334

Uncle. Made a mistake implementing a new strategy in Round 1 and you exploited it effectively to put the Axis behind the 8-ball for the rest of the game. Congratulations and good luck in the next round of the POs.

@ArtofWar1947 Thanks for the game as always !

@Stucifer

Sounds good.

@mikawagunichi

New game is posted and awaiting your scramble decisions.

@Stucifer

Will take X+12, I’ll set the game up tomorrow.

@Culann

Same bid is fair.

One last disparate battle in SZ36 failed. I concede.

Let me know if you can stand a third game.

and yes i’d be down for a rematch

@mainah

I look forward to our next challenging and interesting game (not without some unease).

@ArtofWar1947 Thanks to you as well. Our games certainly have had some very unique board states.

@ArtofWar1947 OK sounds good.

@ArtofWar1947 I’d love the cheat sheet, thanks!

And also thank you for the compliment. I was reluctant to play league for a while. Looking through some of the games I could see there are very capable and determined players here. It has been a wonderful experience!

@max334

Thanks for the challenging game. You really pushed me hard and forced me to think hard. Let me know if you would like a rematch.

@MrRoboto

Thanks for the spirited game. Enjoyed playing at fast pace. I experimented with an early offense by Japan against Russia; Ally response was impressive; may need to rethink that strategy.

Thanks for offer of a rematch with BM, but I do not have the flexibility to switch between different version of the game and prefer PTV.

@ArtofWar1947 Well Played. Appreciate the game.

@artofwar1947 said in Game 2 - L22 PTV Art of War (Ax+15) v 666 (Al):

@666

Thanks Jim. You made it challenging, and there was a very small window of opportunity for the Axis to win.

Would you like to try the Axis+15, rebid a new game, or wait until next year for a new game?

I like the bidding process to much to forgo it…give me a day to lick my wounds. I’ll get back to you shortly!

@666

The end indeed. Congratulations on a forceful come back. I’ll post your win and our new game later today.

@nikola1975

Professional and personal obligations prevented me from responding sooner. I am glad you have benefitted from our games.
