Please read my PM, regarding YG

Why thank you, and good game, Odonis!  I am really beginning to think that bombers are underrated in G40….

I am actually going to be playing a lot more World At War moving forward.  If you are interested in that one, I’m going to be setting up a tournament to start sometime around the middle of May.  The current rules discussion can be found here:

Also, let me know if you are ever interested in playing some of the other TripleA offerings as well – there is some fun stuff buried there!  :)

Good game, Whack!  Say, I posted a reply to your topic on the other board, and also posted how to update your board settings to get auto notification for topics in the WaW thread.

I can’t wait to get that tourney started in May!  :)

Hey, no worries on the speed – I’m just wanting to get a few more in before the tournament starts.  Whack’s going all crazy on my sh*t in our game, Borneo and Leningrad are both down round two, and I’m not even sure I’m behind (as Allies) – ignorance is bliss!  :)

That’s the one that is over on the Cellar Gaming boards found here:

I don’t have an actual thread up for the tourney yet, I figured I’d do that about 3 weeks out (after tax day lol).  This thread was for the rules discussion for which rules to use.

By the way, tell your friends, the more the merrier!

I agree on the points you said. I was playing as Axis, and I always like the Russian retreat move now. Make his planes inept. If you merge up your Russian forces with British forces you can hold Egypt for much longer.

The problem he had with trying to take Norway was that if he sent enough to Norway to take it he wouldn’t have enough to take and defend Paris. Since I was guaranteed with my move to get Egypt.

I believe their is a new rule where if Japan attacks before turn 4 US gets 30 IPC’s immediately. This helps a ton to balance out the map.

sigh

I could have prevented that loss, I just have overlooked the fact that you can take London with that one transport =(

Such a shame. I was totally in the lead -.-

I was hoping that move would make you not go to Egypt, but then you did anyway… so then I was scrambling to figure it all out…  :-D

GG, and Merry Christmas to you too, Shin Ji!  Very interesting game, and a lot of fun.

Let me know if you’d like a rematch – if so just PM me a new bid, and I’ll be around later (or tomorrow depending on the timing) to respond.

Thanks!

Sounds great, and best of luck in your other “conflicts” !  :mrgreen:

Yeah, I’m up for more.  We can do a rebid.  I definitely feel I would have gone on to win had I taken Egypt. That’s why I’m upset for not bombing the airfield.  No scrambling meant an extra 3 bombers for the fight, and I didn’t lose by that much.  Not that it will hurt my win % much.  :|

I think attacking the neutrals has merit, but I usually use it as a quicker route to Egypt through Turkey.  It can become too hard to keep the Allies from taking Spain with concerted effort from the US. Easier once Russia falls, but then you’re spending money against Spain and not Egypt.  The downside as the Axis, is it gives the Allies a lot of extra cash that more than offsets Spain/Sweden/Turkey, so it should be a tactical advantage/surprise.  I think you did it a little too early, and helped me out-produce Germany by a lot.

So what was your take on my Pacific strategy?  I’m using this season to try and come up with some new Allied strategies.  I reject the notion that the game is inherently unbalanced towards the Axis, so much that new NOs or some other fix are needed.  The game is so complex, i just don’t feel the Allies have exhausted all of their options, so I’m trying some new ones.

The basic premise is that the Allies have enough resources from Round 1 to shut down Japan, using a Russia/China/India/ANZAC with some help from the US.  It’s not all-in from the US. You’re kind of sacrificing Russia by sending stuff into China, but Japan never becomes a beast, allowing more resources to go to Europe sooner.  And once India is making 25-30 a round and Japan only has some Russian territories for money, India can help support Egypt and the Middle East long before Russia falls and Germany is threatening.

The trickiest part so far has been finding the right combination of support from the US in the Pacific.  If India/ANZAC are going for the combined navy, do I just use the US as sub/bomber support while they help hold Gibraltar?  Or do I use carriers and destroyers to give them extra hits?

yeah it didn’t look good for you for a very long time :-)

Although you prolonged that loss by stalling USA with your feisty Alaska play.

Sounds cool.  Whenever you are ready just PM me a bid and we will go from there!

gg my friend. let me know if you want another one

I am currently trying to figure out which of the non A&A games in TripleA would be good for tournament/league play.  Since I haven’t really played any of them, are there any that are your favorites, and would you be interested in showing me the ropes in one or more of them by playing me a PBF game here?  PBEM is also fully acceptable if you would rather play that way.  Let me know!

Games that look very interesting:

Red Sun Over China
270 BC and/or Total Ancient War
The Lord of the Rings game (although I would use real dice and not low luck for all of these – low luck is for chess :D )
Greyhawk

Others??

@DizzKneeLand33:

Thanks for the game, and a rematch sounds great!  I’d be willing to bid 15 for Allies if you want to switch sides (or you can have Axis at 14 again).  Let me know and we can get one started soon.

I think I already bid 15?!  lol

But if you want Allies at 15 I guess we can go for that – let me know what and where…
