@BobbaRossa Yea, I hate doing Taranto because of the IPC unit loss, but the BB has to go.

It wasn’t a waste of time, though it did take awhile since I wanted to be clear and fair.

And thank you for your thoughtful reply and respect and restraint.

League playoffs have this risk, and they always have. You are playing someone you didn’t choose to play. Any disagreements, from bid rules to common variations are dictated by league rules. Every single time.

There was a year or two when the balanced mod was gaining steam and OOB and BM coexisted in the same standings. OOB was quickly becoming a minority. But if you were in the playoffs with someone who actually insisted on OOB, well, all your BM skills and experience were forfeit and you had to play OOB because it is the default.

Again, league playoffs always have the possibility of different expectations, practices, and preferences between two players colliding. There has to be a league default that settles it before the game even starts. Again, thank you very much and I’m glad someone else shared the pains of playing Boldfresh.

@BobbaRossa

I re-deployed a couple Chinese inf up to Kansu. Please let me know if it would have affected Italy, no problem if so.

@dawgoneit Good game!

Nothing comes to mind, I’ll look over the save some. Mostly I just have the thing sI’ve already said that are for my own play mistakes.

Turn by turn, I’m not seeing anything obvious to change;

in general this uk plan is designed to prevent germany from taking moscow by round 6, and there’s no strong way around that, but it does cost india sooner or later. and it’s pretty common from the triplea lobby, or at least it used to be.

Need scramble decision for 111 and submerge action for 106

@cwglee51 Good game to you! I appreciate you poking holes in my strategy. There were definitely some things I’d overlooked.

And it appears that the future isn’t too terribly far away! We seem to be matched in the first round of the playoffs. I’ll pm you an opening bid.

@BobbaRossa will try something a little different, will message you

@simon33 Oof, yeah those American dice really brought the point home. Yikes. And no worries about dithering, difficult decisions take time.

I’d like to have 45 as that’s typically the lowest I’ll go, if that’s ok.

@brxxx I like that bid. The marine in India gives a lot of flexibility.

And if you could post the previous game’s result when you get a chance, would appreciate it :D .

@bobbarossa ok thats it im done lol…well played you got me again! GL with the rest of the play offs :+1:

Good game, Wiz! Let me know if you’d like a rematch. I’m down.

Not sure but the guy said 42.2 is default game if players disagree on game. But if they agree, any AA game can be played but i don’t think Global is played until the final on Sunday. ON Friday The War Game: World War Two is often played or another.

@wizmark said in 19L Playoffs Wizmark (Allies +15) vs BobbaRossa (Axis) BM3:

@BobbaRossa Thanks for the option but I will still concede. Thanks for the game and a look at how the high levels play! I think I’m a way off being a contender at the top levels but learning every game!

Good game Wiz! You’ve got some solid instincts. Taking Norway and Korea were good moves, just have to avoid the catastrophes in the process :D . Best of luck to you!

well, I could have certainly lived with a slower pace and stop bothering you about the game speed.
I understand, however, that it is tough to play position on is behind that feel like an uphill battle. Takes 3 times as much energy compared to winning positions.

I was a bit worried you could have tried to get lucky at Burma. I miscalculated the odds in the first place. I should have taken Java instead of Oki with the US to make an attack at Burma even less attractive even with good dice.

In the end, I believe an Allied win was inevitable over time as there was no path for the Axis to overcome the significant income edge the Allies had.
it was just matter of time until US would have 25+ planes in Europe that would always hop around to either protect VCs or to wreck havoc somewhere.
And Japan did not have the juice to become a significant enough threat for a Pacific win.

Thanks for the game though, it was great playing you.

Good games man! Well played. Best of luck to you :D .

Good game! That was definitely the fastest I’ve ever been shut down as Japan. Made me hustle and do things I don’t normally do on the Europe side.

Another sounds good. Got the thread started here:

Good game! Yeah, it was looking pretty rough.

Oh, I definitely prefer to go after Russia, but if I just ignore that Egyptian factory on UK1 its game over for the Axis. That’s too much of a power move to go unchallenged. Best of luck to you!
