we shed some serious weight over on that side of the board  :lol:

now a pac victory isn’t so far-fetched anymore……

[Balladeer]

Hmmm, completely missed that you could send all the Sz 35 planes there and then to Pualau, else I’d have sent my fleet to Sz 54 or 26, and would’ve been fine, Europe is going fine for me and Pacific is bad nor good… This happened to me more often allready, so f!@#%#in annoying. I’m tempted to just give up, finish the other games and quit alltogether, this is the 2nd game that I lose  by something silly. Kinda makes A&A hard to like. Not resigning yet, but I’ll think about it for a night and then probably do it tomorrow.

[axis-dominion]

I was wondering about why you left your fleet open to such a massive blow. I guess you just answered that question.

Man I totally get how you feel. It’s easy to miss little things like that. Japan actually has two little islands that serve as landing zones from the Phillipines, so yah, you always have to be extra careful there. I set up for that massive strike to discourage your continued positioning in the Carolines, as it was thwarting my progress elsewhere. I assumed you’d move away, which is what I wanted, but you gave me something much bigger.

I’m totally willing for you to take the completed russia 12 turn, edit your US fleet to safety, and I can redo Japan from there. Let me know if you’d like that offer.

I have to say, I’m impressed by your game. I think you’re a strong player who occasionally makes a mistake. So don’t feel so bad man. Look at how many games I’ve lost, and most of them due to major blunders!

@Balladeer:

Hmmm, completely missed that you could send all the Sz 35 planes there and then to Pualau, else I’d have sent my fleet to Sz 54 or 26, and would’ve been fine, Europe is going fine for me and Pacific is bad nor good… This happened to me more often allready, so f!@#%#in annoying. I’m tempted to just give up, finish the other games and quit alltogether, this is the 2nd game that I lose  by something silly. Kinda makes A&A hard to like. Not resigning yet, but I’ll think about it for a night and then probably do it tomorrow.

That;s a very kind offer, and thanks for the pep talk ;-).
I know it happens more often to people, it’s just so silly to go from a nice, interesting game to a finished game without some interesting or exciting endgame… And I’m slightly in doubt whether to take your offer or not - it kind of feels like getting back in the game by complaining, but on the other hand I’m rather interested in how this game looks if we carry on. It’s one of the first times I actually have to execute the European invastion part, as other games tend to finish before it really has to happen. So if you’re sure you don’t mind (please confirm :)), I’ll edit the Sz 33 fleet away after Rus 12 and we can carry on.

And again, thanks for the offer!

offer still stands, go for it!

@Balladeer:

@axis-dominion:

I was wondering about why you left your fleet open to such a massive blow. I guess you just answered that question.

Man I totally get how you feel. It’s easy to miss little things like that. Japan actually has two little islands that serve as landing zones from the Phillipines, so yah, you always have to be extra careful there. I set up for that massive strike to discourage your continued positioning in the Carolines, as it was thwarting my progress elsewhere. I assumed you’d move away, which is what I wanted, but you gave me something much bigger.

I’m totally willing for you to take the completed russia 12 turn, edit your US fleet to safety, and I can redo Japan from there. Let me know if you’d like that offer.

I have to say, I’m impressed by your game. I think you’re a strong player who occasionally makes a mistake. So don’t feel so bad man. Look at how many games I’ve lost, and most of them due to major blunders!
