@axis-dominion @Booper @mikawagunichi @Stucifer @Adam514 @surfer Hey gents, just a heads up that I’ll have limited time to play TripleA over the next week or so, due to vacation and family commitments. Sorry for the delay!

@axis-dominion @mikawagunichi @Stucifer I laughed out loud reading this - I had some crazy luck against Mikawa, but was suffering hard against Stucifer this game until the last battle in east Med. Wow, that was a bloodbath.

@Stucifer @mikawagunichi Oh, definitely understand the humour - they were received in the spirit they were sent. The dice gods piss on the just and the unjust alike, we’ve all been there. Watching those videos made me laugh so hard that my wife came to see what the ruckus was about. She did not appreciate them as much as I did (understatement).

@axis-dominion I got lucky that battle, no question. But the Sea Lion you complained so much about was a 97% battle in my favour. I was sure enough about winning it that I diverted a bomber to try to knock out the seaport at Gibraltar (which you shot down with your AA - your own luck). Frankly, I’d have readily traded the above-par result (~20 TUV above odds) in London for damaging that port any day. It allowed USA to threaten Germany and Italy at the same time for the rest of the game, which was huge. Far more than an extra couple of fighters.

You also got your own luck in plenty of battles, but I didn’t want to rub salt in the wound. The nature of the game is that one has to take risks - calculated risks - to win, and that’s what I did. But that final battle wasn’t a hail mary - it was a tactical choice to hobble the threat of the Russian/US advance in Eastern Europe.

Anyone looking for a BM or PTV game? I’m an experienced TripleA player but new to the forum. DM me!

@Stucifer Haha, thanks! Interested in a game? I’ve only got 2 going at the moment.

@mikawagunichi I assumed no scramble up north due to risk to fighters - if you want to scramble, though, happy to re-run :)

@nikola1975 Also, thank you for the good sportsmanship. It’s a pleasure to see.

@Culann No worries! Happy hunting.

@mikawagunichi Haha, yes. That was a mistake, actually - just moved it quickly.

@mikawagunichi Oops, forgot that blocker dd in sz50! That’ll teach me to play before I’ve had my coffee. Yes, scramble to NG please.

@mikawagunichi All good, just edit an inf in there. Obvious blocker.

Very well played!

@max334 Posts which are directed to me (using the “@”) have notifications which come up at the top right - the “alarm bell” icon. Sounds good! Will post result shortly.

@mikawagunichi I had to fiddle with the placement (all non-combat), so edited as needed. Sorry for the mess :)

I assumed you wanted to lose the inf, not the AA’s, in E. India - feel free to edit if that wasn’t correct.

@nikola1975 Thanks Nikola, I got the dice when I needed them! Looking forward to the rematch.

@gamerman01 Thanks! I’ve played for years on the live platform, and no one really plays PtV there, so most of my games are OOB or BM. I think PtV is fantastic - it irons out all of the gripes that I have with OOB and BM. Hard to get used to the carrier/scramble play though!

@Stucifer Sorry, yes, please scramble all fighters in both sea zones. Let chaos reign!

@max334 On PtV, with a German naval buy, I think UK has to do a full London buy (all ground units), not hit Taranto, and save fighters for the UK defense. The risk for Sea Lion is just too high. (this is from @axis-dominion - he’s a top player on this map)
