16L G40 axis-dominion vs gamer (allies) BM

[axis-dominion]

thanks for making the anz move, and yah i feel kinda bad rushing you, but i really think this game can be more enjoyable if we try to make a turn at least once a day, or no more than two days to do it (for US/UK perhaps). i’d appreciate that consideration :)

@Gamerman01:

@axis-dominion:

ok so i’m going to kindly ask that we pick up this pace a little more and stick more closely to the 3-day limit…i know you’re not in your busy season of work, so no excuses, get off your playstation and let’s get this game moving!  :-)

i’m not used to a game dragging on this much, i mean, even the 3 days is a bit much if we maxed it out each time.

Pretty much every time I get the USA/UK turn done, I turn around the ANZAC and Russian moves within 1 day.  It’s nowhere near 3 days each time for ANZAC and Russia

it also affects my level of play as i start to forget my train of thought and the little details and options i was considering.

Sure, I understand, that’s why I keep apologizing and thanking you for your patience

it’s a fun fight so far, and i’d like this to be a memorable game in a good way regardless of who wins, but when each turn gets dragged out for too long it can sour the experience, at least for me.

Sure

and anyway, remember, this was supposed to be a light one for you!

Yep, but you have an awful lot of games under your belt (experience) and you don’t give openings the way most players do.  And my USA bombers are all getting shot down  :-)

[axis-dominion]

and whatever bad luck you’re having, seems to be made up in your convoy…never seen such great raids with so few subs

[gamerman01]

Sure, I understand, and I’ll try - it’s just those big USA/UK moves that give me trouble.  The way I approach those moves, it takes a sitting down of 1-3 hours at a time with energy and minimal distractions.  I still wish the designers had found a way to not have back to back moves for major powers - indeed, in my modded game that I haven’t finished because the balanced mod filled the void, that is one of the issues I fixed.

And the way you always move super fast, it puts the ball in my court that much quicker.  If I’m playing someone who averages a move every 1-2 days, that gives me more time

[gamerman01]

I’ve played 10 games in a year and you’ve played 50,
Year before was 8, to 53.  I just don’t play the game the same way you do.  I let the big moves marinate and roll around in my brain a few or several days.  Let my subconscious work on it and everything…

But I don’t blame you at all for not liking 2 week breaks in action - you’re playing other games and even if you weren’t, then you have to get re-acquainted with the board - I totally get it and that’s why I thanked you and apologized on multiple occasions, and I really appreciated the patience and understanding you communicated.

These Russian moves have required about 1/10th the strategy of the USA moves.  I will probably have it done Monday

@axis-dominion:

I want to be crystal clear, I do not think I have had below average dice for the game overall.  I just can’t resist talking about (for fun) things like USA bombers getting shot down like crazy, and likewise I enjoy your comments on convoy rolls.

That being said, you have got to be kidding!  So I got some 3’s, and Borneo got drilled for 4 once, but while that double 3 in Z93 was unbelievable, of course the damage was only 3 and the damage would be about 2 on average, so that roll is a big whopping +1!  And yeah, you got hit for 3 at Norway this turn?  Well, you only lost 1 last turn, so now it’s average over the past 2 turns  
A single bomber getting shot down on a bomb run is approximately a minus 17.5, plus a piece on the board that is in position has been removed, so it’s not even comparable to 17.5 in extra convoy damage because that is a damage to your income, which couldn’t buy pieces for another turn, which can’t be moved for another turn after that, and I have lost, what, 4 bombers, I’m losing count  :lol:

I’m only writing this because I enjoy talking about the dice - I’m a numbers guy - don’t take it as a complaint or an attack, because it’s neither.  It’s all in good fun A&A banter.

[axis-dominion]

yup i understand, and you won’t be getting any break after the russian turn as i already have japan fully worked out  :-D

yea no prob, the many games i play in parallel helps with the wait on this game. i do have to admit, the challenge you’re presenting makes the wait more acceptable, as i can tell a lot of thought has been invested in each move, which is welcomed and appreciated. i don’t get that from some of my other opponents who are also fast-movers.

and yah, today is good with me.

yah i didn’t take it as dice-whining at all, i know you’ve been pretty fair about the dice judgement, and i agree the bomber strike-down luck i’ve been having is pretty funny, i know in the past i’ve had such bad streaks involving aaa fire, to the point where i started getting frustrated when the pattern turned up in many of my games at the same time…made me take a significant break from aaa (which for me is like 2 weeks lol)

You’re a machine.  Yes, it is one of the better games I’ve played - most interesting, competitive, and fun I mean

I thought that’s what you probably thought, but I really appreciate you communicating that.  I don’t think quality games are too easy to come by
Yes, still planning on today/tonight for the Reds

I think it’s hilarious that the Chinese are now the latest in a long line to fail in 1v1 infantry battles too

true, I’d probably have a better win/loss if I put more time into my games. But then where would I find time to write my crappy novels?

If you guys find your way to San Fran, look me up. The only way to know who is the best is Face to Face!

I still need to read your book
Man, I loved the Rum and the Fury Karl, what a great read that was
