Ok, now I see you agreed with the 4th bump at the end of your last post. And 14 days instead of 9 is good to. Simply using the league rules and treating each team as a single player sounds good.

@Me1945:

@nerquen:

I like your suggestion Me1945. I just need a clarification: Do you suggest one could take multiple vacations in total cumulative length of 21 days, right? Right. And the 21 days are per team or per player? I’d suggest per team. And we would start counting from now, meaning as if now none of us had a day of vacation yet and not a single bump issued. Correct. But, we need all to agree, not just you and me. As per bumps. The 4th bump is game over or you suggest 3rd one is game over? 3rd as it is in the league rules. And the bumps are counted per player or per team? Per team. Let’s treat the team as a player in a one vs. one game.Also a team can avoid bumping by simply making the other team member to make a move, right? Correct.

Actually, in the official league rules the 4th bump is game over, read above in your last post. Thats why I was asking. Sure all 4 of us would have to agree. I am fine with your suggestion (would stick to the league 4th bump = game over). Let’s see what the other 2 players have to say.

Me1945, are you aware it is your turn now?

Guys, what about we agree that if one of us cannot make a move within 72 hours then at least post a sign of life that you are aware it is your turn and ideally also with an estimated time of when the other opponents can expect the move to be posted? This game is going on for 5 months already. I’ve never played such a long game before. I know both sides had their share of long moves. But could we possibly try to speed it up a bit? At this pace I am worried XDAP2 is not going to be finished before 2019  :-(

AxisDominion (Axis+6) defeats nerquen (Allies) in BM2 game
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=39306.0

@axis-dominion:

Thought just had occurred to me, I eliminated 40 allied air units in that one battle. Wow that’s quite impressive.

O yes, 41 actually,

I believe this is the game deciding battle. Maybe if the battle went about average we could still have a game on. As you said, if you lost that battle, Germany would have very hard times, US/UK would start pushing them out off MED area and Ruskies would be free to go to full offensive. But now it looks really hopeless for Allies. 13 armor and 23 planes surviving is crazy. Russia could go on a very short offensive but with your 23 planes you can easily force them back home, I thought of a Russian suicide, to try to liberate MED & Egypt with Ruskies and give up Moscow but looks like it won’t work, Axis already have 70 units south of Volgograd and 2 factories there… by the time my slow units that don’t have much offensive power got there you would be pushing me back and Moscow burned down. Also I don’t have any match to your 13 armor in Egypt in whole Africa region… if you wanted you could turn whole Africa gray very fast.

Very well played from your side I must say, you have shown me that Germany can be a real monster in BM game as well. Allies had quite some extra cash compared to vanilla game but failed to utilize it into any real offensive in either theater. And being just on defense everywhere does not work long term. Once Germany is able to start building bombers it is a downhill spiral for Allies. At the game start, I thought I have to open west front with Germany soon, but your Japan opening forced me to put almost full US attention to Pacific just to prevent Sydney falling early. Sure, China got a ride as a result… but you managed to keep them relatively under control without causing much problems. But importantly all the US investments into Pacific were badly missing in Europe and Germany got going pretty hard. I also liked your Italian dedication to can opening mechs/armor. I was surprised how much time it actually took me to get control of MED sea given Italian 0 investments into the waters.

In retrospect, maybe I should have let you have Sydney early, I would have to give it a second thought. The thing I was worried about though is that once Sydney is fallen Pacific victory is a big threat especially if EuroAxis send air/mechanized units towards India…

Still the game seems to be very well balanced, the Egypt battle was not that far from a coin flip. I just could not believe you got 53 hits in the 1st round in Egypt. The chance to get 53 or more hits there was only ~ 0.2% (20 in 10 000 runs). Anyway, thanks for a fun fast game!

waw, what a result!

@axis-dominion:

@nerquen:

the above post is something like what I should have done… feel free to adjust your Ita move… my ANZ/FRE move is independent of that.

sure, no problem!

actually it’s funny, you got quite lucky on that, as i received a work phone call that took my attention off of starting the german turn. or else i’d probably be rolling by the time i saw this ! hahahaha so this change was meant to be. and yah i did wonder about why you didn’t add anything to egypt, but i figured you were conserving for a later counter or something.

thanks Sir to you and the unexpected caller. Your mercy is appreciated! When I play fast I tend to do really stupid mistakes.

the above post is something like what I should have done… feel free to adjust your Ita move… my ANZ/FRE move is independent of that.

I guess I was put off by the unexpected Yunnan outcome in Chi14 and then my mind was busy thinking how to optimize UK position post Egypt battle that I totally forgot that I still have to buy those AA’s for Egypt.

well, I know this is a league game. Feel free to count it as a league victory if you prefer. I don’t mind the league much. But would be much more fun for me to actually continue the game with planned 3 AA’s in Egypt for an offleague game.

would you mind if I switch 2 fighters in London for 3 AA’s in Egypt? and save another 5?

hey man not sure how this happened but I totally forgot to buy 3 AA’s for Egypt with UK which I planned since ever
