@ArtofWar1947 OK gg man, and sorry about that!

2 German inf attk on Kaz.

DiceRolls: 2@1; Total Hits: 02@1: (4, 4)

The Normandy beachhead was definitely a major distraction from Russia. Even if the second counterattack had succeeded, Russia was already a bear, and a win in Europe was extremely unlikely. But it might have been bearable to continue for another few rounds.

@ArtofWar1947:

Adam: Well, I screwed that turn up. Forgot to send in a bomber and a fighter to the Burma battle and a bomber and a tac to the Kweichow battle to take out the second allied infantry in each territory. My heart and head are not in the game and so will resign. Thank you for your patience and instructive game. Art

Thanks for the game!

I was on edge, if not down right scared, for the longest time–especially after the Allies gained control of the Pacific. Thanks for a most interesting game.

Thanks Art  :-)

I got myself into a couple too many games at the moment, but when things die down on here and at work I’d be happy to rematch.

Congrats! What are you studying? We seem to be a good match, both strong solid players, equal, let’s play a long, no time limit bal mod2 game?

Sorry to hear your ending the game and league. Marti can be really frustrating–which is why I prefer to low luck. LL does not eliminate bad luck, but it does eliminate really crazy outcomes.

@ArtofWar1947:

I cannot see any point in prolonging the agony; I just don;t see you making a fatal mistake. Good game.

ok gg, that was long but fun or interesting. i thought u still had some fighting chances up until u diverted away into norway, giving the allies massive offensive chances. your position seemed much more dangerous when u were heavily occupying caucasus.

@ArtofWar1947:

Jim: I am going to concede; I don’t see any way the Axis can stop the downward spiral that began in Turn 1. Congrats on an interesting strategy. Let me if you want a rubber match; I would be especially interested in LL so that I could better analyze the highly challenging UK strategy you used. Art

On a business trip right now. I’ll give you a shout for game 3 when I return.

I agree that the Round 1 Med battle was the turning point. Thanks for an interesting game; you really made me work, and I learned a few things.

Thanks, Jim.

Will look forward to a rematch after the new year. We can try LL if you wish.

sorry for that frustration. i too was really annoyed when suddenly i couldn’t post using my gmail. it kept giving me a tls related error, and when i googled it, it had something to do with the google server certificates expiring. sure enough my mail client also had an issue, so i had to manually check that i trust it…but no such option is given with triplea…it just errors out. so rather than spend who knows how much time i’d have to spend to really fix the problem, i figured just creating a new email account just for A&A would be best. i gave it also to soulblighter to use, and he seems to not have any issue. so i’m not sure what’s going on with your setup.

anyway, that was a heck of a game! close one in the pacific for a while there…you had me scrambling big time. toward the end, i was really worried you might go all out against the russians with that huge japanese force in china…like bring in more planes and just go straight for moscow and go crazy on me. but you played it more cautiously instead.

I do not see any point in continuing to invest time and energy in this game; I will post your win.

Thanks for the game and making me think.

Thanks for the game. Holiday was good; I hope yours was as well.
