Another bracket wrapped up!!
Congratulations Avner, and I can tell from your posts that the game was fun, so that is awesome.

Now go and find another victim!

One of these days… I’m too tired after work most of the time

Congratulations @ArtofWar1947 !

You are the first winner of a playoff this year,

Champion of the 2nd Path To Victory bracket

All hail

Art’s Allies prevail on the 80th anniversary of V-E Day - NICE!

@pacifiersboard Thanks!

So now I looked at your mech Arc/Ukraine fighter Moscow request and it doesn’t make sense to me - how can you get a mech from Arc to Ukraine that’s 3 spaces and you would have attacked with it… Did you mean to Bryansk maybe? And fighter to Smo? Might be dumb questions because I haven’t studied at all yet

@Ghostglider Gods bleed!? Incredible! 😊🤓

Clicking through the game history…and @axis-dominion used the NH opener!

Just wanted to get 3 Snoops

Yep, open to suggestions as it belongs to the league, and partly lost momentum because I haven’t been paying attention and ad campaign wasn’t big!

Game 1 is to learn and adapt,
Seems the idea of mix and match is popular among several
I would think it would be more interesting after round 1 is done as you inherit someone else’s moves

Thanks for the thoughts!!

It could also be a good place to go when players are up on all their moves and waiting for someone to move in their games…?

You decided for me to keep the AA a 3rd time, but I won’t make anything of it, don’t worry about it. Looks like it drew you in and the dice hit you at the end, so it worked out for me

The rulebook requires that all amphibious assaults be resolved before other battles, hence, Hong Kong and Philippines were supposed to be rolled first. Of course you choose between those two.
I had played quite a few games of global 'til this was pointed out to me, but it’s true… TripleA is not programmed to make that happen.

And of COURSE you throw in that she is not very competitive (never grew up with siblings lol) and didn’t care that much looool

@crockett36

She’s never played before. I’ve played probably hundreds of Yahtzee games.

She scored 2 Yahtzees, me 0.

So 350-200

Sure Yahtzee is a lot of luck, but there’s a lot of choices and strategy in there, too, that’s under-rated!

Gotta play Yahtzee with her,

I’d better play whenever she’s actually up for a dice game

Wish me luck!

It’s safe to wish that right before R1!

Will try to get it in quick right now, otherwise later tonight

@Jacob16 said in L25 G40 OOB Gamerman01 (L+35) v Jacob16 (X):

This game is about to get crazy. Those are just about THE BEST sea zone rolls I’ve seen Germany get R1, and THE WORST I’ve ever seen the France battle go. Good luck.

Indeed!
I’m still fighting back from a game I only survived France with 6 tanks, almost a year and a half later.
2 men lost in Yugo is significant.
Even with 3 bid subs I don’t think I can clean this up!

Fun to be starting a new game.
