Thanks for sharing these incredibly sad news… I didn’t know until now that he actually passed. I can add that Joakim suffered from terminal colorectal cancer he was diagnosed with probably around 2020 or a bit earlier. I hadn’t reached out to him for a few months now but I will add that he most likely stayed positive and brave until the end. As always…

I got to know Joakim about 8 years ago when I was searching for guys to play OOB 1940 with since I had no one to play with at the time. I ended up meeting about 5 other playing a game, most of whom were very new to the game. One of these guys were a very social, positive and curios individual called Joakim. He showed an interest of the game and not before long he and I started playing 15h sessions of the game ourselves. We even got to start inventing new rules for tech and whatnot. Many of you can probably relate.

After about a year he mentioned this forum where you could play games against people wherever. I was very hesitant at first but eventually tried it out. The rest is history as they say.

In addition to all the kind words from the community l also want to add my personal view of Joakim. He was a very intelligent man, one of you mentioned his chess playing, but he also had an unfinished PhD he decided not to pursue at the time. He was always curios and very competitive. He loved working out and specifically running which was something he excelled in.

Joakim leaves behind two daughters of whom both I’ve met while playing in his apartment many years ago.

I wish everyone the best, wherever you are on planet Earth, on this very sad day.

Warm regards Peter

@gamerman01 thank you! I have been around a very short time compared to some of the players here, but it’s easy to see your contributions and how you are regarded by those players who know you better. Life always has to take precedence so I wish you all the best and hope things work out. Hope to see you back one day.

Warm regards Peter

All the best from Sweden.

@martin haha yeah! To be fair, I had the game versus Simon33 I believe, but he never conceded properly. For my own part, I am getting divorced and need to adjust to the new life with 2 kids every other week. Hope you all will keep the spirit and competition and I will try and get back later :)

@bombsaway and @Soulblighter my suggestion is to just get going with a game. We do this for fun primarily, right? :)

@Amon-Sul Maybe by giving it “for free” say every 5 turns or so we can emulate the real war in a way since tech was advanced. It also circumvents the problem with having to spend previous IPC on something that compared to units is usually much worse. I totally agree there should be some generic techs and Nation specific ones that makes sense.

@Amon-Sul me and @trulpen play tested a lot of different home made variants. We came a long way but it was OOB at my house (mostly). Trulpen do you think it would be worth the effort bringing it here? One major obstacle is of course that it would need to be programmed in AAA 🤣

@LennardF Agreed!

@amon-sul Haha, maybe you should start an additional one then ;)

@trulpen 🙄🙄😀

@gamerman01 Thanks, no problem. I will add @Adam514 and @JDOW for their input if they want to address anything? As you all can see quite clearly, the issue has blown a bit out of proportion, but not to the extent that it will affect trulpen’s and my relationship. We have spoken outside the forum.

To summarize my side of things. I feel unjustly treated based on how we have previously treated one another during both AAA games and tabletop AA, which I think is clear from my posts. I think that proof of the bug can support my case and therefore brought it up to your attention. All other points are really a matter between players and is hard for someone from outside to judge and would by itself not warrant this discussion. Hope I have made my side clear.

In my opinion, the goal is to play so that you don’t have to really consider the dice. This gets tricky when you match with someone at your level though! That’s my biggest take-away from playing against superior players.

Warm welcome!

Best of luck guys. Will of course be following this one :muscle:

@gamerman01 nicely done :)

I can add that I pretty much look at it the same way as you and @AndrewAAGamer mentions above regarding TUV. I constantly look at that during my games. I would say it’s one of the best indicators of who’s winning and losing between two equally matched players.

@MrRoboto That’s very gracious of you. Let start by having a 2nd opinion here. I already chatted a bit with Gamerman yesterday so he has an idea what we are talking about. He did vouch for you which means a great deal here. Also your quick replies now is to me proof of your sincerity.

Not correlated to our game , but I actually caught someone cheating once (no longer playing here) and that probably affects my view on things unfortunately.

Thanks!

@MrRoboto If you’re happy with that approach I say we go for it. You still have an edge by doing it this way (two hits with subs) which seems fair :)

Just want to clarify a couple of things. As we know we only get part of the rolls for any combat, but so far I’ve accepted that in my games since if I can verify the dice I actually get those in the save file are an exact match. Together with the correct Turn Summary etc. that’s been enough for me. But like Gamerman mentions, the use of the PBEM more than once giving contradictory dice, not saving properly etc. made it impossible for me to be at least somewhat sure that everything was in order.

With that said I don’t mistrust you, but this seems like a fair compromise.

Also, can we confirm how to go about going forward. I really don’t find it enjoyable to roll every single battle in the forum. If we can continue being careful with the saves and posting Turn Summaries I would prefer going back to how we’ve played previous rounds. I one of us is ever uncertain we can roll dice here too, but every battle? What do you think?

@MrRoboto OK, I never seem to receive any late.

Ok, since we’re discussing dice not received which includes the 2 subs as much as any other missed rolls, let’s re-roll the whole battle.

Also the manual edits one has to perform is tedious in my opinion.

I’m certainly ok with that approach. As long as I can see that there is some connection to the save file and turn summary I’m fine with not getting all dice. For example I didn’t receive any dice in G7 when you hit the fleet in SZ95 and wiped it out without losses, but got the dice from the Scotland battle right after. Those matched the save file and turn summary which made things reasonable.

If we are uncertain, we simply ask the other before rolling?

I’m was never angry at all, but I’m definitely glad we can see things similarly.

GLHF going forward :)

@Dutchman full scarmble both SZ please.

@Pejon_88 I was lucky in SZ104 and only lost 1 plane and did a first round wipe. I am content with G2.
