I guess I will need to increase the risk :-) Japan is coming up.

That is one issue with TripleA - you cannot see which planes are on which carrier. And when selecting carriers as losses, you might need to edit. And TripleA doesn’t necessarily chose as losses the planes with the less remaining steps. I can play Italy tomorrow. Good night!

Is everything fine?

I rushed, as I wanted to speed up the game, feeling Sovietishcat’s breath in our neck. I am not happy with the Japanese turn. No bullet was fired, and I would like to re-do the turn completely in the evening, if you agree.

In case you disagree, go ahead and use the latest post.

You scared my with “(moving 2 inf to Normandy)” - luckily Norway is still under German protection :-)

That was round 9 - man, you make me feel nostalgic with that picture of the good old times!

I should get to the Japanese turn, in the evening.

Fortress America

Not directly A&A-related, but I will give it a try :-)

Does anyone know how to play Fortress America? I have bought the MB board game on eBay, read the rule book, watched YT videos, and we were still too stupid to start round one - too many questions were open. Frustrating. Maybe there was too much Axis & Allies in my head…

In case I manage to play Germany during the night, it might be in a rather drunk state :sunglasses:

I edited a sub ncm

Although I like that “returnfire … is null” :grinning:

Back at my PC. Thank you all for your quick feedback!

I have to admit that we both started to play using an older version and then upgraded during the match - to slightly different versions (FlyingBadger 2.6.14195 and me 2.6.14366).

This was last round, and it worked fine without any issue. This is the first time though that a file was saved in the middle of combat.

And yes, I reported to TripleA.

@LennardF I agree, and I would love to pay for TripleA and to have a stable version. And yes, let’s touch base later this year! .-)

As I mentioned below, the chances are high that FlyingBadger will win. I was first considering to have FlyingBadger move forward in the Playoffs but continue playing this game for the league. But in the end, it is as it is. And if the Axis did not manage by round 15 to take Russia, Persia, or Australia, something is going awfully wrong. And as Gamerman said, once Berlin has fallen, Japan needs one additional Victory City, and this is even less likely to be accomplished, ,as it will be Japan against the whole world.

@gamerman01 hopefully we can avoid any byes, next year, so all participants will be busy.

Unfortunately my status changed from “playing four games in parallel is just fine” to “a single game is currently too much”, this year. So I am more than happy for everyone to have and to invest spare time to run the league and to help organize it!

Thank you very much for all your work and commitment, Gamerman, and now to MrRoboto as well!

Having posted that, I certainly hope to be favored in any future moderator’s decision, LOL :grin:
