I am having a hard time keeping up with my open games with Wheatbeer, and Farmboy, without evening mentioning my games with Amon Sul and AAGamer.

I am also moving in two weeks and expanding my family very shortly.

So…

Well played and good game sir!

Japan had forced me into a stalemate, so I thought I might as well try to disrupt Europe.

I know I messed up the early game by playing India too defensive and not getting ANZAC air into Asia.

But once those mistakes were committed, I was never able found any weak spot in the Pacific. Japan always seemed to have exactly what it needed, where it needed.

Thanks for the game. Regarding feedback: Your G1 was not so good but overall ok. I did not understand why you took a plane down in 111 to save a sub.

The Carolines battle was of course very decisive and a bit weird. You only good the odds to attack because of my poor dice at the Caro attack, then you ge diced back and Japan is struggling.

I think you overreacted a bit to my fleet in 110. I of course wanted that but the result was that you did not get enough momentum against Russia.
Also I think you should have tried to break through Rostov and secure Volgo and Caucasus. Maybe leaving Russia an attack at Ukraine that can go wrong.

Italy was too passive I guess, I believe it would have been more trouble if Italians had bought more TTs and marines to keep the pressure going on me.

Regarding switched sides. I will just start another game with private panic and I have my hands full with JWW and the Championship game, thus I cannot accept right now but we can do the match later.

Thanks again and best regards,
Tobias

@oysteilo:

I just posted your win here. I have next to nothing here long term. Well done with your very aggressive approach!

Thanks!  I must admit I am quite shocked at your decision.  Your axis income is still high and giving me fits.  I can’t seem to crumble Japan below 60 IPC’s.  Russia can stall out Germany a couple more turns but the middle east is not solidified yet.  I am happy to take the win but I feel if you need to rethink your decision I am totally okay with continuing this game.  Maybe take a week or so and see if you want to continue,  let me know I’ll be here.  Cheers!

@oysteilo:

What do you guys think? I am starting to think it is okey. � In most cases the Scotland fighter lives and the gib fighter can defend as well. This means if London buys 6 inf and 1plane you have like 11 inf/mech and 3 planes (2).if everything goes poorly buy 9 inf. Why not?

What about the UK keeping all their income turn 1?

If there’s no Sealion threat… buy all the fighters you like turn 3, but if there’s a Sealion threat… than buy all the infantry you like turn 2.

I think the problem with that is, if Germany does go for sea lion you are only allowed to place 10 units in London, You need more than that

True

That’s it indeed, well played ill post it! let me know if you want a domination game with tech ill play as axis

Really great to see kind words and a finished game.  Good game guys - keep having fun

I’m always ready for another, I have got to get my game up a level and the best way is to play better players and more games
S.A.

No posts for a week and no download of the file? Do you think you will make a move soon?

all right thanks a lot for playing! and I will keep my mouth shut from now…. hahah! you showed me! It’s fun to play you!

@oysteilo:

all right, great game I have nothing here

I was not prepared for your extremely aggressive play and I made too many mistakes early on. So I guess you showed me wrong!

Im open for a rematch if you want to.

like what kind of rematch did you have in mind?

We can start a new game basicaly.
So a new chance for you as axis, or you can try the allies if you like :)

I dont know, would be nice, but not sure if I fancy the allies chances and “beating” you with axis and zero bid is kind of lame. Although I failed misarably this time.

Well i kinda beat you with a 0 bid, and im doing alright against colt with a 0 bid ( he even had great dice with italy and japan round 1 and 2 )
So 0 bid isnt really lame, bids become interesting once both players are verry experienced playing the axis and the allies need something to beef them up.

You could also play axis again ( see how you fair next round ) im learning from this as well.

All right, I can fire it up tonight. I would like to try again with axis

Sure im doing a RL game as well so might not respond in 10 minutes like usual :D

O and dont call it lame playing with a 0 bid as im doing that most of the time :)

It seems like I am starting a few games so no rush with rapid replies. Regarding lame….it is not lame in the snse that you are lame, it is more lame in the sense I failed to beat you with zero bid, that is hugely annoying to me. Now, if I end up beating you this time around it proves nothing, I beat a guy with 0 bid, yikes! That is the lame part

Ok, I posted the results.  GG this was fun.  We should play a rematch once things slow down for me.

@oysteilo:

I think the axis has no realistic chance of winning here. The momentum is on your side and total unit value and number of units seem to increase round by round. I will post your win. Feel free to comment on what I did wrong! Good game

well i didn’t think you were doing that bad actually, i felt your axis was doing quite ok, especially your income is about equal to mine, and has made that great breakthrough to the oil fields and even middle east. you’d lose your italian navy here but that’s not the end of the world for axis, i think you still have chances, and japan too is doing well.

@Odonis:

ok, well played. No options for me and just a matter of time.

Will post the loss. Rematch? or are you tired of beating me yet?

OK

Let’s wait a little bit with a rematch. I have a few games going already

Not right now. In January maybe

@Giallo:

no luck, ill post it now :wink:

GG!!

OK, sounds good! Good luck in your other/future games
