Hope you get better and thank you for all your efforts.

L21 #3 WindowWasher (X) vs trulpen (A+21) BM3 0-1

Haven’t seen WW around for over half a year. Think it’s time to collect, but will be happy to continue the game if/when he gets back.

Well, dice always has to be considered, even when you safeguard. Well, I guess I’m marking words here, but believe I understand your sentiment of not doing risky attacks or exposing risky defenses. It’s definitely possible.

I have considered this from many angles and find it’s difficult to find an obvious correct choice. Have finally come to a conclusion I will stick by.

I feel jkeller’s stress from family and work. Real life should always take priority and continuing this game will add to his stress load. From our communication I know that his main reason for continuing the game is the pressure from the community.

I’m dying of cancer and would actually really like to take part in the final of this playoff. Don’t think I’m actually a worse candidate even though I’ve messed up this game in some ways and been quite unlucky in others. Can’t work atm and A&A is one of the things that brightens my day, even when Marti screws me over.

I also come from the culture of playing competitive chess. These games are not identical of course, but actually quite similar in many ways. Anyway, when it comes to time control I can say that when playing a tournament or championship game there’s no one who wouldn’t claim victory when the opponents time runs out even if you’re in a completely lost position. Many even prefer to play games out in order to try to salvage a draw (which is much less likely in this game), which however silly it might seem is fully allowed and not to be questioned. Chess is however much more black and white.

Trying to considering everything, I’ll try to help jkeller out with his more important issues in life and still claim the victory based on the 14 day rule. Doing this despite him changing his mind and being prepared to continue the game, which in some ways definitely would be for the best.

This really sucks in some ways and I’m prepared to take the condemning judgment from the community. I mean, I’m actually dying, so who cares?

Yes, can confirm that it is.

I don’t know if I do something wrong, but I uploaded a new user picture. I wanted it to get just a little bigger, so uploaded it again with a new crop. The change didn’t settle. I’ve tried several approaches, but nothing works.

The same goes for my play-account, where I even try to upload a different picture, but it will just not stick.

What’s wrong?

I’m about to arrange an A&A 2 vs 2 tournament via PBF.

Hereby searching for participants (we have at todays date 5 applicants).

And that means it can’t load a marine unless it’s going towards a sz where there’ll be amphi?

Correct.

I don’t think the marines were particularly well advised due the uncomfortable fit they have in the game mechanics. They don’t really add much, although they do make some of the island hopping encouraged by the new NOs easier to get.

I agree with this simon33. Marines are useful for Japan and partially sometimes for Italy. I see people buy marines with germany and 5 rounds later the marine is still sitting in western germany. This happens among players at all tiers

I think the marines contribute with an interesting flavour and mechanic. I like that it increases the value of heavy war ships. Not enough to out-compete the subs, but still. And this feature is of course less useful since the ships can’t use marines in NCM if moving in CM. Maybe that could be a rule change? Making them a bit more flexible. On the other hand it’s nice that the marine rules align with rules for transports, so I’m not a strong advocate for this solution. It’s just an idea.

I believe they can be rather useful for US, but then more on the EU-side of the board. Kamikaze areas makes them very limited in the pacific.

Hehe, no worries. My own nomenclature. 😉 Take your time.

Thanks, @Panther! That cache clean-up was the thing.

No scramble. It’s too much to handle for the Italians.

I am of course speaking about BM only.

Then I agree that tacs are utterly useless. In a SBR you still want to accompany the sb’s with figs only. Makes the tac ability of SBR rather useless, so does take away a lot of their appeal. The combined arms is not sufficient. For 10 tacs you get 11 figs. And defence is usually a lot more sensitive, since you’re at the mercy of your opponent.

@redrum When I do SBR in G40 OOB 2nd ed on TripleA it doesn’t add 2 to the damaged of dice rolled when bombing. Do everyone add that manually?

Edit: Correction (my computer is rather slow, so took a while to get hold of the relevant info from the dice server): It seems the 2 is added, but it was included in the rolled result, if I saw it correctly. No real problem there, although a bit confusing when first encountered.

Lets rock this boat!

Game is VOID.

Reason: Sovietishcat wants to play ranked while trulpen prefers unranked.

Hopefully we’ll meet soon again.

Only one issues remains: should SBR damage receive a further boost to +3 (instead of +2) to offset the increased cost, or would this simply negate the benefits of increasing the cost to begin with. Y’all’s feedback would be appreciated on this last point. thanks!

+3 would make strat bombing stronger than Global. Effectively increasing the value of a raid by +0.67IPCs. Perhaps this would be a good thing though?

Don’t think it would. SBR is strong as it is. +3 dmg will certainly outweigh the +2 cost.

F*ck, you shouldn’t have won in Egypt, right? Damn lucky dice! Now it gets pretty tough in the Med all of a sudden…

Did you want to move those two inf from S Africa upwards?

And my point I guess is that it would only lead to a bigger bid with more powerful units bought. It will be a new situation, definitely, but I’m not sure it would be better.

For me, I think the bid should be as small as possible.

That american bomber taught me also something new. I never thought of air only vs AAA guns before. But it makes a lot of sense.

First I went after that Italian cruiser, but noticed those two AA-guns just in the vicinity. Thought that it should be better hitting that with less risk and being able to land in London again. With one inf with them I wouldn’t have dared ofc.
