The 2015 results thread is up now.

Apparently we’re waiting a bit on starting the playoffs.

You too, gg

Sure.  Sub 98, inf British Guiana, inf new guinea, inf Sudan.

While I don’t recall exactly how I assessed the board situation before the attack I figure we were at least neck and neck cause it wasn’t a slam dunk so I don’t think I would have gambled had I though myself in the lead. Thanks for the game. GG  :-)

GG!

@souL:

Gosh, I… I didn’t put up much of a fight in this one.  Not even sure what happened.  I can’t even continue.  GG.

Hi souL

I know all about that feeling… Would you like a rematch?

I simply don’t think I can compete anymore.  I ran 3-4 games with this Japan experiment I wanted to try–it’s not working.  Plus in 2 of the 4, I ran a Sea Lion that wound up being painfully expensive.  Looks like I’m going 0-fer, Japan was crushed every single game by a strong India.  You played it well and exploited the weaknesses.  GG, it was a pleasure.

@souL:

Yeah, I could see a few of my costly errors after they happened.  gg.

thanks, let me know if you want a rematch……

I can’t believe I missed that, again.  Once is one thing.  Not that I had a chance anyway.  GG.

I’m on vacation, sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. I have had a great middle east campaign, but I have a 2:1 ipc discrepancy in europe… and I tried to make japan relevant but messed up when I got too far out over my skis. You were better than me this time, good game. I will report.

I’ll take the british med sub and an art in alexandria

I will.

i ll take it

art alex
tank egy

1 ipc to british bank

The axis graciously accept your surrender. Good game and thank you!

No thanks - losing all my Russian fighters pretty much means I got no offense/defense left.

I messed up leaving them there - and you rightfully took advantage. I was already in trouble in other places as it was….thanks for the game - sorry I didn’t give you a better challenge - I stink as Allies…

MM

Thank you!  That was a fun one… without a doubt a losing cause in a battle to the death.  GG!

@Gamerman01:

How many games of global have you played since Alpha 3, SouL?
You seemed to improve dramatically over the course of a single game, so I suspect you haven’t played many

Alpha 3, including the tournament and this one?  3.  :)

We won a round in the tournament… 4.

Thank you for the game.  Good luck against JWW.

Good game.  It always sucks when a (good) game is so obviously decided by dice and for it to be so one sided.

I’ll probably be taking it easy game wise until after Christmas (unless my game with Djensen ends as well), but let me know if you want a rematch early next year.
