Wheatbeer (axis) vs Fortress (allies) g40.2

[Fortress]

I saw somebody else on the league page had the same EXACT issue. I reported the bug to tripleA and sent djensen a pm. It’s the same way in every one of my games. I think it’s a forum thing…

[wheatbeer]

Okay, glad the game file isn’t at fault though.

[Fortress]

I emailed you as a workaround for the time being. You want to give that a shot? I have a game with karl7 right now that it seems to be working with. It’s not too much of a pain in the ass. FYI, though, I’m probably not going to be on too much tonight…

[wheatbeer]

It doesn’t bother me to play that way temporarily, so I’ll probably do at least Germany.

[Fortress]

I should’ve reminded you that we’re playing 40.2 on a 3.9 map. Yukon and BC are one territory. What do you want to do over there? (Not that it really matters – I’m pretty close to congratulating you on your victory…)

[wheatbeer]

Make both infantry on BC then I guess.

[Fortress]

I’m gonna check this out when I get my kid home from school today. I think I’ve got another round or 2 until I have to concede. I’ll play it out, but I don’t see how I can win.

[wheatbeer]

No rush … I’ll be out of town this weekend, back Monday.

[Fortress]

Actually, and this is really lame of me, I’m gonna concede now. I can reinforce England once with 3I, A, 2AA and can build 2F, T. But I can’t keep you from taking it right back. And I’m all out of bullets to take it back a third time – if it fell the first time, before you could get in position to take it back, we had a game that I thought I had a chance to win. Now, you don’t even have to take Moscow to get 8VCs…

Lesson: don’t lose London to a good player. I’ll file that one away for later use…  :-D

Lesson 2: the Allies no-bid aren’t an automatic out, but you can’t play loose against a good opponent

Lesson 3: if you deserve to have the dice go against you, they’ll figure out a way to do it

Good game. Maybe I can pick up a league game against you sometime.

[wheatbeer]

The Allies could delay for a little while, but I think that even with the US investing full-Atlantic eventually Japan takes Cairo while Germany holds NOV, VOL, and London for the win.

My view is that even bids as high as 11 wouldn’t let the Allies really destabilize the game.

I’d definitely play again, league or otherwise, just let me know.
