Sorry the dice got frustrating at the end and that we won’t get a chance to see how the game finishes but good game.  Opened the game very well and felt pretty behind most of the game.

@dawgoneit

I think post-fall of Japan, you spent too much on the mechanized infantry instead of slow and steady inf.

By the time your mechs met up with my infantry, even if equally matched, mine only cost 1/3 the cost. Eventually you couldn’t keep up.

Yeah i just started two other games, but net time you are open for a game let me know

@Makalakalane Det var altså en ganske fornuftig tysk 1. runde… Men nu siger tripleA at min mailadresse ikke findes. Og jeg har lige modtaget gamesave. Men kan ikke lige spille Rusland før det er oppe at køre. Aner ikke, hvad der er galt!!

game is started…colt gets first choice

Will do.

Good game.

Lyder godt.
I må gerne give klar melding når i ved besked. så giver jeg det videre til ham vi skal være hos.

Thanks, Darth.
JWW and I are bidding my PM

Have a nice break

If I understand things correctly, even though you won, your team won’t advance because you’re the only one of 3 who won.  But maybe I’m wrong

I’m really glad you enjoyed the game - thanks for the nice words

Thanks a lot! Will try it.

I am trying to get a friend of mine interested in this.  He downloaded the A&A game last night.  He is familiarizing himself with the rules.

I’m already using 2.2.20868. Just got notice that newer version 2.5.2294 is available. Will stay with 2.2.2 unless you change.

@trulpen just now seeing that this game was called. I enjoyed spectating it alot! a really entertaining and dynamic matchup.

@ksmckay said in bm4 axis-dominion vs farmboy (+19):

@farmboy yeah, not a good attack so in a real game never gonna happen, I would have just liked to see a 2800 ipc battle. odds calc with 2000 sims says 49% after scramble.

I must be missing something in my calc then. Yeah, it would be fun to see.

And sorry I did understand your point. I was adding some commentary reflecting on my own choices here. I held up at Wake for a while because it was a good position from which to deny him a final VC. And because I was hoping to win in Europe I was afraid to leave because I was worried that would give him an opening on Hawaii. But I think should have gone for this a few turns ago.

@BluGerman:

today i managed to read through this year long forum thread and I have to ask what happened after November 17th 2011?.. did everybody in this forum mysteriously dissapear? or was it just discontinued? or was it moved to another forum thread or something?.. somebody please let me know because I was really excited to see Allworks whole board with his miniatures (they are awesome!)

In answer to your question- I don’t really know.  :? Allworkandnoclay is an artist who does all sorts of other work for money, not just Axis and Allies. I presume that he moved on to other work, as his Flickr account shows him doing some sculpting and what not. To be honest though, he stopped posting pics, people stopped commenting, and it sort of fell of the face of the earth. There’s some stuff on TallPaul’s page, and there are plenty of other artists with some awesome stuff if you need your daily fix of painted minis!

@Sovietishcat Thanks man…that was one of the hardest fought games I’ve had! I almost surrendered a few times myself!

I think your attack on the neutrals probably switched the dynamic, allowing the germans into the ME through turkey and then it was just grinding to egypt.

But it was a close run thing!

@farmboy oh yah. I know all about overblocking. Adam has helped me to become a more efficient player, for sure. What I love about this game is, even after five years of play, I am always discovering and learning new things.

@Colt45554 thanks young man!

@farmboy said in Farmboy (X) vs Amon Sul (A+16):

@Amon-Sul yeah. I never had much of a chance to take Moscow because by the time I got close, you already had a ton of allied fighters within reach. It more than make up for the Soviet units in China.

And different choices with Germany may have improved my chances, but it was Japan’s play that let you get much of that air in range.

It was Japan play, and it was allied play. My NT dudes really helped.
Absolutely. And sorry, by referencing Japan’s mistakes, I don’t mean to minimize the cleverness of the strategy or your execution of it. Just trying to think through how I would have to play against it differently. I think I had effectively lost the game by round 4 or 5 unless there was a major dicing or error. And short of dicings or sloppiness, I’m not usually in such bad shape as axis, or in such good shape as allies that early, so I have to think through what I could do differently in response. And I want to play against it again to see if different choices can shift the outcome. Of course, I realize that different choices on my part will lead to different counters on your part. So it might just mean I lose in a different way. But figuring these things out is part of the fun.
