Good luck, and have fun! And as you said a few years back: May the best German win ;-)

The best of luck to you too, may the best Anglo-Saxon win ;-)

I didn’t realize that eight days have passed already… What I did realize is that I screwed up big time with Germany. I wonder if there is any alternative to all the infantry stacking… Congratulations - I resign early. Good luck in the next round!

@Martin

hope you have a peaceful break

Hallo Knusperheinz,

hier kannst Du die neue TripleA Version herunterladen - sie soll abwärtskompatibel sein:

Hier soll man die Emailadresse für die Würfel registrieren:

Genau hiermit hab ich scheinbar Probleme. Ich habe meine Emailadresse triple@mwienzek.de gleich mehrmals registriert, aber es scheint noch nicht zu klappen. Ich hoffe, dass nicht die Domain mwienzek.de das Problem ist.

OK Harry, ich habe es so richtig verkackt. Wenn Deutschland sich in Runde 6 zurückziehen muss und Japan nicht gleichzeitig ein Riese ist, ist das Schicksal zwangsläufig.

Ein großer Fehler war der späte Angriff auf Russland mit der Folge, dass Deutschlands Einkommen zu lange viel zu gering war und gleichzeitig Russlands zu hoch. Und wenn dann noch Kill Germany First kommt, wird es schwierig. Viel Erfolg bei Deinen nächsten Partien - ich mache mal wieder eine Pause.

@Martin

ah, that’s good. it was real fun though

Thank you, here is our thread:

I already sent you the scrambling request.

Good luck, and have fun!

41931 OOB Round 10 ANZAC - for fun.tsvg

I have reported this game as a win. Anyway, Germany would have fallen the next two turns inevitably thanks to a common effort by the US and Russia.

Please say “helle” once you are back, and we will have another game of Classic or OOB! :-)

@Martin Thank you for the game. I just got home from long trip, rematch anytime.

If you like, we can switch sides, same conditions. With three other games running, I could start in about a month.

Let’s get ready to rumble again :-) The game is set-up, Russia did its first turn, and you are up with Germany:

I might play slower during the first 8 days, and I will be travelling over the next weekend.

In any case: Good luck, and have fun! :-)

@dawgoneit

I tried sending you a picture of my sons race car but it wouldn’t go through. Do you have a new phone number?

@Martin sounds great to me. see you in the next battle.

@Martin Yes the “miss” on my part was using Japan’s bomber offensively when it could have at least NCM’d from Manchuria -> Germany to give one more HP to the units there. That might have made some level of difference in the final fight but in hindsight, once the UK air got as many kills as it did it was unlikely that Germany was going to survive.

Good luck to you as well!

Good game! Yeah it made a big difference especially for UK the whole game. You also have me a pretty generous bid to start. That was a lot of fun, am down for a rematch if you are interested.

Yeah, I must have missed something in my test runs with Russia. Initially I hadn’t planned on holding Stalingrad, but I ran a bunch of tests to see if it was possible. When some of the test turns turned up it was possible I changed my mind. Obviously, I didn’t do something correctly on the live turn.

I wasn’t trying to win those battles in the Pacific just get those ships and planes off the board as I saw the trade worthwhile. Taking planes and possibly ships would have changed what I had to invest with Britain in future turns to contain Japan.

I didn’t execute Europe at all well. I tried to do everything slowly instead of choosing a point of attack when I needed to. I don’t have too much experience with that version of the game and didn’t recognize that I didn’t have the time to methodically build up more forces.

Thanks! GL in your games as well.
