as promised (and sorry it took so long, the wireless was somewhat unreliable), congrats for your win! I will post it, finally. I admit I did not realize the new capital city VCs at first, and I think I really gave up Japan without any need. Irrespective, well played!

@alexgreat:

42% wasnt reassuring anyway, but that first round was too brutal to catch up.

Congrats Axis, I mismanaged Germany on the Eastern front from the start, and there were too many UK ships arriving.

Good game Alex. Sea lion can be difficult to pull off or get right, and I played it unconventionally by saving some air units instead of trying to max out defense. I think that paid off, but I think your biggest problem was on the other side, as Japan was slowed down quite a bit (but wasn’t for free, I had to sacrifice three of my ships to achieve that).

Let me know whenever you’re ready for a rematch. We can do same or flip, I don’t mind either way.

Lot of non-game related reasons, explained to me via PM. Balladeer is way too good a player to have given up in other circumstances.

Just saying, so no one gets a wrong impression.

Thx, Balladeer, as always a pleasure playing you.

I haven’t played Star Trek Risk (I’m a Risk 2210 fan), but Star Trek Ascendancy is an instant classic in my opinion.  It makes my all time top 7, and I recommend it if you like multi-player empire building games and you don’t mind the science fiction.

I think there are several things.  Pacific is ok. Europe is not

1. It is wrong to dick around in Africa with the US. The reason is of course it requires less effort. The problem is it leaves italy with too much free cash
2. I think it is really hard to liberate uk with America. Basically it is 1. Over again.  Therefore italy is probably the better option for USA.  This also helps soviet.  Africa does not.
3. In our game I have made more money than you every single round, except 3. Still my total unit value is going down. Usually this does not happen. Not sure why.

due to the mix up with us latest turn, I completely overlooked pac side. Just needed 2-3 fig to block Hawaii. This has happened to me several times. But I believe I didnt invest in pacside enough. Wouldnt have taken long anyway. GG ill post it

Oh, just now noticed your posts above re conversion, sorry for not replying earlier. Didnt even notice when I posted Italy.

No league, we discontinue this game, then.

Du hast laenger ausgehalten als ich in meinem Semifinale…wenn wir Mal telefonieren, kann ich Dir ein paar Dinge zum Spiel sagen. ZB hast Du vielleicht Island nicht gesehen, das hat Dich jede Runde 5 IPCs gekostet mit England, solange Du die anderen Anfangsgebiete in Europa haeltst (was glaub ich der Fall war).

Thank you - my reward is another really tough game and I already have one with Wheatbeer  :-P

I enjoyed playing, and again, appreciate the sportsmanship

Looking forward to the rematch

Still awaiting your decision on the bidding  :-)
