And I see I also forgot US fighter in East Russia, I need to zoom out or something. Moved to Sui if you allow

I forgot when clicking bombardment I had the battleship scheduled for 91. Both ships hit, and I had 2 infantry and 2 fighters coming vs 1 infantry, so I would think this is fine, I’m editing to 91

I was remembering we started sometime in February but nope! Was just after New Years. Cool.

Aaaaaright…

Dramatic late entries, seismic changes in the landscape.

We have @Stucifer officially and irrevocably entering the PTV fracas,

And @pacifiersboard is altering the course of history by splashing on the OOB and BM scene…

There are several hours left of 12/31/24… what more could happen? @MrRoboto ???

H-y-p-e-r-b-o-l-e

That is a great idea and I’ll think about it. This is the time of year for rule changes.
The life-time ELO dictating the seeding has flaws, and making an exception where the previous year winner and runner up get automatic 1 and 2 seems like a good idea. Can’t change it for this year though, rules were set last January.

@axis-dominion Thank you,
It’s where 2 players play a game against each other and the winner gets a set at the table in the first round. You have to beat a rival just to get in.

For your expired year of 2024, we have the following statistics:

Balanced Mod - 85 completed games

Path To Victory - 83

Regular 2nd edition out of the box - 52

I don’t believe my eyes, Path to Victory nearly overtook the Balanced Mod as the most played game in the league. Therefore I would say the playoffs for these two versions are the most prestigious for 2024, this is where the cool kids are playing.

Thanks for the positive feedback guys, I’m hoping I achieve at least a ratio of 3 to 2
of pleased, to offended

But I don’t want to be misunderstood.

The G1/J1 dice were actually not horrible for me, even though some crazy dice were thrown.

Turn of the year, I was scrambling to finish game 3 by 12/31, and now the excitement for a couple days of starting a new playoff game and the relatively easy first round

I aim to move the much more difficult G16 soon, thanks friend, and Happy New Year to you!

OK, I limit myself to 2 games total, and the other is playoff
Let’s try to punch it through and see whether the Axis can survive the Russians and Chinese

Wow! That surprised me. You are not boring.
Perhaps you will be rewarded, big time.

Well. of course Spain facilities are awesome, but not helping me currently

Leningrad, Gibraltar, Spain

Lotta TUV there, not so much usefulness, and Leningrad will be 84 swing

I heard about this game recently because of pretty extreme dice

I can’t believe you scrambled against a 94%! Obviously you DO usually have good luck scrambling against it, you won’t scramble at 94% after you don’t :D

@Black_Elk @barnee

Guys, Oysteilo astutely pointed out Timguska is not supposed to border Dzavhan…

And about your Dzavhan catch… now that my tank can’t attack your mech, I remembered

A guy years ago (pretty good player) was complaining that tank purchases were always sub-optimal since mech cost 4 and tanks cost 6 and (he thought) mechs were always superior IPC for IPC. He was mainly doing calcs with big stacks, and depending on the makeup of the stacks, indeed mech are usually better.

But he didn’t take into account production limits (I’d rather have 8 mech and 2 tanks built on Germany than 10 mechs, or 3 tanks on a minor rather than 3 mechs) and also transport capacity (tank is the more powerful than mech or artillery on transport).

But now I realize another superiority of the tank even though it costs 50% more… On the open field in Siberia, a tank is 3/3 while a mech is but a 1/2 (not to mention the blitzing).

But your tac our there is messing it up. Will I actually attack the forward mech with a bare tank and follow behind it with mech/tank? LOL we shall see, probably not.

I’m not sure if I’m seeing the same thing as you, but I got it working, but it was quirky

Removed the UHD map and also the “boxes” map
Redownloaded them, but I must have done them out of order.

I downloaded the 2 maps (one under “Global”), and opened the game file until it worked. Once I think it might have said 100% on the boxes map, then it downloaded the main? file again, and the boxes again. Basically I got lucky after just kind of sitting there a bit after I got 100%.

So I don’t know if you could get that to work, I couldn’t describe it well because I basically just tinkered, or if the mapmakers’ download instructions will be easier.

I think I’m moving soon, Japan’s moves are kind of headspinning with everything from Africa to partway into Siberia, with the triple allies pushing in East China, and down to the strait of Magellan, but I think I’ve got most of it in my head.

At least I’m finally making a little bit of headway, cutting off the Chinese Burma road for like the first time the whole game. Doesn’t feel like much. Somehow Russia has the highest TUV in the world now

@oysteilo said in OOB Oysteilo +40 v Gamerman01 with tech - UHD map:

looks like the map is drawn incorrectly in Soviet east. It looks like japan can blitz through Dzavhan and enter Timguska. This is not possible in the original map

hence, can you edit my Timguska mech to Yenisey before you start Japan? Both mechs came from Novosibirsk

Ahhhh OK glad you said something again

@oysteilo said in OOB Oysteilo +40 v Gamerman01 with tech - UHD map:

i just moved the mech in question

I am actually staritng to enjoy the map now. Its not bad at all!

🤯 😮

I’m glad, but surprised
Are you just saying that because black elk and barnee are kind of watching? LOOOOL

I wanted to play it because of the beautiful color and the beautiful pieces, skin on men, and the ships

But some work is still needed, and it’s great Black Elk is happily tweaking.
I did have to look about 4 times at my tank and AA in Yakut to see where they could go…
