Hello everyone, with the new year and a new support drive beginning, @mikawagunichi and I have decided to sweeten the pot a bit and generate some interest for our favorite league game variant. For any player who has never played PTV or whose most recent PTV league game was completed in 2023 or earlier, we will pay for a Gold badge for any player who completes 3 PTV League games this year. For players who pay for their own badge, we will still make an equivalent dollar amount donation to the forum. Limited to the first 5 sign ups, please DM if interested, thank you!

@Stucifer I understand. I do like it as a touchstone. I honor it as the foundation of everything else. I will always be willing to play it. It is the lingua franca for the normies to pick up the game. I think we should be able and willing to translate 42 or any variation back to the “masses” and the new players.

Funny, J1 is rather out of fashion in the games I play. I’m not in the running as a great player, but I wouldn’t agree that it is scripted on the allied side. Unsurprisingly, I find the German play monotonous.

All that being said, the lack of love 42 gets here is…silly. If you accept the victory conditions and the time limit, it is a wild ride of trying to maintain an edge all over the map. Really unique.

Yeah, that definitely didn’t help. Mainly you were able to capitalize on the opportunities having Russia in the game early and the Yunnan battle, and that is what wins games! ;)

Ok I looked at the board again with fresh eyes and see that it is indeed quite hopeless for Germany. I will concede here. Thanks for the game :)

@Stucifer said in L24 OOB Stucifer (X) v FlyingBadger (L+48):

Headbutting ineffectually against the stone wall of Russia wasn’t my best play but I enjoyed the Pacific war a lot. 🤓

I did put most of the bid and early US production into Europe, so Germany/Italy had it tough. I thought you played it well. I had to constantly check against the threat of invasion or losing the Channel fleet, and was unable to breakout or invade elsewhere. Luckily the Russians were able to hold on in Bryansk and stop any Axis slipping past into the Middle East.

You did well with Japan, and caught me out early on - ANZAC never had many resources to build and the US had to pour production in just ot try and hold on. Luckily taking Australia is a little tricky with the capital tucked away.

I think you played better overall, and I am grateful you offered a big decisive battle. The dice heavily favoured me, otherwise you would have been victorious.

@Stucifer

The student has become the master.

Thanks for the game, and good luck to you too!

@Booper Bit of a nailbiter. I appreciate the game! It was pretty wild with the G1 attack on Russia then pivoting to Sealion. BM definitely has a deep pool of players I haven’t seen on the PtV ladder. Lots to optimize if I want to keep challenging myself with this version.

@avandoo @mikawagunichi @Stucifer

US up.

@surfer might try a game with @mikawagunichi if he’s available, he’s a solid player around my level.

My apologies for replying to this so late! An excellent game this was, really loved the simplicity of the rules and the map, while still being quite in-depth in terms of strategic options! Power projection is really a thing in this game. I remember I was worried about the British fleet near Egypt because they could pose threats to Italy, but they could also make an unexpected landing in Sumatra because that’s two spaces away!

I think this game is definitely an improvement to Anniversary. It feels better on all fronts. I am not interested in playing a new game right now because I am playing too many other games but perhaps in a month or two we can have a rematch 😀

Thanks for the game!

Rematch would be fun, I am going to be out of town for about half of the next 2 weeks so I’ll check back with you around October 1!

you’re right, I cant keep you waiting. I’ll post your victory. Thank you for game and again I’m sorry for delay

@MuddSlinger If you return, hit me up and we can continue this game. Cheers-

@avandoo nah no mods here and no points. Just for fun 😉🤓🤓
