14L Playoff R1 wheatbeer (Axis) vs Gamerman (Allies +22)

[gamerman01]

Definitely no complaints about a horrific American D-Day now…  :-P
Condolences sent to close kin  :cry:

[wheatbeer]

On an unrelated note, people really shouldn’t say the 0 IPC islands are worthless. This game is a perfect example of their value.

I was meaning to respond to that post on the main G40 section, but was too lazy to type up a rebuttal.

Ha.  I am not one of those people.  :-)
Will have to find this thread for my amusement

Ah.  Black elk.  Ran into him recently.  That guy is clueless.

[gamerman01]

Gonna pretend I didn’t see that thread.  Those guys are nuts.  Pretty much every island has a purpose

[gamerman01]

And they totally missed the fact that the Aleutians are worth 5 to USA

[wheatbeer]

I’ve never seen anyone capture or build on Fiji or Somoa … but I think every other island, I’ve captured or built on for some reason or another.

[gamerman01]

Those can be significant because India can build bases there.  Have you seen many Boldfresh games?  :wink:

Those guys are rookies.  Only respond to them if you’ll enjoy it.

[gamerman01]

Samoa

One move from EUS sea zone.
Naval base there and you get to NSW in 2 moves from EUS.  Keep that in your back pocket.

[gamerman01]

Airbase in Samoa, fighters can get from Washington or San Fran to Sydney in 2 moves

[wheatbeer]

I love 20-30 round matches with Boldfresh  :lol:

That’s pretty much where I would expect it to happen.
