@Stalingradski:

Thanks Eskander - you guys have been good opponents. I’ll take UK’s turn today, and we can keep playing it on the tourney thread for as long as you guys want, with no worries about time constraints.

Garg - Team Headless Neds will keep an eye out for our second round match.

headless neds face wewin in round 3.

Hi DeadTom,

garg is quitting, so you get the win.

let me know if you’d like to continue the game, I can step in for Garg to finish the game.  (this will not get rid of your win, as it would only be for fun [and outside the tourney]).

to me, it looks like Carolingians could win IF they took moscow  WITHOUT losing any of their capitals in the process.  France is very strong on the ground, but Spain will get crushed soon and Sweden is stuck doing not much. 
To win, Carolingians must figure out a way to Win in the Med, + hold spain, + take moscow + keep enough pressure on Austria so that Austria can’t do much vs Ottomans.

Coalition could win by leveraging their advantage at sea to kill spain and sweden, while still holding the med and Austria/Prussia strong.

Test summary from TripleA, engine version: 1.6.1.2, time: 08:36:12

I had to take chances and make big things happen. It is better to burn out than to fade away!

Danke für das Spiel.

Du bekommst die meisten Stellen stabilisiert, aber es gibt 2 gefährliche Stellen:

Der Brückenkopf in Frankreich ist ziemlich stark und ich habe auch schon Nachschub von dir vernichtet. Ankara ist für Italien ein großes Problem.

Allerdings ist in beiden Fällen England dafür verantwirtlich, daher ist es schwer, beides auszunutzen.

Mit Würfeln bist du auf dieser Karte als Achse meiner Meinung nach klar im Nachteil. Ich biete dir aber gern eine Revanche mit Würfeln an. Gern auch auf einer anderen Karte.

Im übrigen hast du Recht: NWO benötigt genaue Planung an vielen Stellen.

…well, I say thanks for the good game too! Very solid playing, perhaps a little thin on Japanese Transports ;) but overall very good. No problem to accept a loss against you, you deserve the win.

Not sure if the dice had that big of an influence on this game. Very good for Ax when we attacked Tobruk and during your Sealion, very bad for Ax when you took out the Chinese, a little bad during those small territory trading.

And now I know that my strange ideas (attacking Tobruk and Rus1 building Nukr-Factory) are playable vs good opponents :)

very nice game! thumbs up!

I enjoyed the challenge lads, well played!

It was a tough match and you are a very strong opponent. It is nice to hear your opinion about it which is very interesting. I told you did not commit big mistakes, but in the whole war I did not understand some of your choices you now explained.
I see dices were awful in the end, but we are talking about tactics now.
I am saying that if they were average or a bit above, you would have not gained big advantage from those battles. On the contrary, a bad result was compromising.
A factory can be built in Bulgaria or Prague only if Germany is in a very good position, but Poland should have been controlled longer then you did using the troops you destined to France.
Besides, also Japan built too many armors and planes.
Instead of attacking Persia, I would have defended trj landing fighters there and attack Australia. Or you could have put 6 troops in India leaving the English to be slaughtered in the next round for good with a counter attack in case of success of the English (I would have not probably engaged battle because the bomber could have landed only in Persia and odds were not so good).

If that battle goes remotely normal I stay one round take out 3 or 4 inf in exchange for 2 or 3 armor

You swap 3-4 infantry for 2-3 armors, not a big deal…
In East Poland, even if you were able to leave a couple of armors, you were about to be counter attacked and in Bulgaria (Urss big NO) you could have left only planes . Such a move can be done only as a last chance.
That transort should have been preserved at least with Italians fleet;
I did not mention that I saved maybe the match in Ukraine with that attack hit and run by Russians in round 3. Had it been unlucky, I would have lost Caucasus.
Where should I have been more aggressive?
Tell me one time you thought: “Fortunately he did not do this!”

OK.  Thanks for the game buddy.  It was a good one.

Yes, good game and I look forward to finishing our other game!

Way to take advantage on a couple big mistakes on our part early on and of course the dice didn’t help. Not that the dice was the only reason we lost, but it sure didn’t help our cause much.  :wink:

Game is finished by lalapooza’s (allies) surrender. Endsave attached.
