yeah, that was a big blow

Interesting game though

Well if the Axis control Ukraine-Stalingrad-Persia plus Leningrad then they have pretty much already won. Egypt and Moscow will fall soon.

Killing the Japanese sub off Persia only really requires one DD unless you have a other support for it which ties up the IJN.

game started GL

GG. As long as the Russian stack lives Moscow will will never be defeated! :-D

No problem posting the result.  Its about as easy and cheap a win you can get :-D.  At worst case I should of finished with at least 1 inf left.  And I think it was a much more devastating loss for Russia than Germany missing in Baltic.  Especially with a turn 1 DOW.  But those are the risks I guess.  Hope the next game stays normal dice at least for a little while :wink:  MARTI is always lurking.

Rematch will have to wait, we already completed our best of 5. It will probably be a few months from now until I get close to 20 games completed.

Sure, but can you give me a week or two.

I’m still flush with games right now, and I’m going to be somewhat busy over the next week or so.

@aequitas:

I am ok with it and don’t see way it should be removed.

The problem will be that if your computer crashes while the box is being displayed, you won’t get the autosave if it’s the last thing done after displaying the end turn panel.

But it seems there is a strong view to maintain the status quo and no concern about that potential problem. Has no effect on me given that I turn it off so there’s no reason to change that aspect.

@Odonis:

I’ll call this one. Good game - what is that, three in a row?

Need to get my mojo back - another rematch? I’ll beat you yet!

Looks like two in a row. You won 39512, I won this one and 39594.

@aequitas:

Rematch?

Yeah, cool. Same sides or switch?

Let us Switch again. Me Axis.
Will set up the borad and shoot a PM when ready.  :-)

Yeah, I’ve learned a lot about the G1 DOW. Before BM3 I’d never done one.

I’m still making some changes to the move and particularly the Japan side but I’m seeing what is important and what attacks should be dropped. For instance, the Vyborg assault isn’t worth it.

@Karl7:

This was a tight game. I think where the allies finally got an edge was when I was able to sink the Japanese fleet.  That really allowed me to rush Europe.

Perhaps, although I don’t think it would have mattered if I could have pushed your fleet off the English Channel. I should have prioritised that much more highly!

Germany has to deny the NO SZ125 but Japan can deny it by taking out Amur.

Ran some numbers last night. If the USSR buys an additional fighter, with 4 bombers Germany still has a positive expected value from bombing G3. To make it negative, USSR needs to buy two fighters. USSR doesn’t want to spend money on fighters so I guess it is still worthwhile for Germany to threaten it. Could conceivably be worthwhile to attack even with a negative expected value because USSR’s money is worth more than Germany’s. The problem is that if you lose a bomber or two, do you have enough to hit it next turn?

I concede this one. Result posted.

Righto.

When you click “Download Maps”, you should get a bunch of potential maps. House Rules is over under the experimental category.

Surprised your interested in the house rules bit though.

@simon33:

… The developers don’t want to.

Really? Where do they say so? I must have missed that.  :?

Have you spoken to them? They don’t say it in so many words.

Anyway, some of the reluctance is breaking save game compatibility and moving on the new version. I’ve submitted a new PR which fixes some of the issues which can be fixed while keeping compatibility. Not the submerge bugs, mostly.

There’s plenty of reason not to break save game compatibility. A lot of the old version functionality was broken in 1.9 for reasons I can’t fathom.

Scramble orders?

Losing Qld wouldn’t have been so bad if not for the IC there. ie. it would have been temporary. I don’t know - never felt like you had me. Germans were taking the Middle East so that couldn’t have prevented Calcutta’s fall.

gg, I realy enjoyed it.

I think in the other game I disliked my tactical position if I didn’t attack.

Thanks for the game as well!
