Want to switch sides for the next one? If so I will try to put together a opener for G and maybe knock it off tomorrow. This weekend I’m heading to San Diego for a bachelor party, returning on Sunday, but next week is also pretty slow at work. Catch you in a few

Yes i overlooked the naval base. I played Japan not well. The game has stretched out over so much time, i can’t really remember how the dice went. The battle in caucuses of course was disappointing. But even if it went well, and I lost moscow, a GG would still be order. Even a victory in moscow would have entailed an uphill battle for axis.  GG WP

my mac is running 1.6.8, I think I need to upgrade a few versions to be able to play TA 1.9. looking at a new computer though so a little hesitant to be upgrading this one.

that wasn’t an ideal opening for UK, in my opinion, but i don’t think thats what killed yuh. what killed yuh was how US was played, imho. you can have all the bombers you want, . . but bombers don’t project danger against Axis. transports do. also it was way to easy to crush the small fleets u sent against me. also, and less importantly, you kept your amur stack in Amur the whole game, but you never actually used it. if you moved that shit in like two or three rounds ago, it would have put a hurting on japan.

Well played, Regularkid!  I concede the match. Thank you again for being part of the team that made Balanced Mod happen!

GG. I’m looking forward to the next iteration of the mod - how’s that coming along? You must be busy but I’m always happy to start a new game with you, no rush on turns. game on, dude

GL HF!

GG. Was enjoyable. Want a rematch switching sides?

good post. Responding to your points: "(e.g., we no longer see russia getting involved in china as much)" My experience has been that Russia does get involved in China more often than not, with BM. It just happens later in the game. And early involvement by Russia is still very much a viable strategy. . . see any of Gamerman’s four  games against me in BM, where he played allies. He DOWed Japan with Russia early on in each game, and won every time (cuz i suck). "we no longer see the russians meddling in the middle east and africa with sometimes a hilarious cat-and-mouse type game going on there," I note that in your games against both me and Adam514, the Russians were very much involved in the Middle East and Africa. In more typical games, its true you won’t see Russia making a beeline for Ethiopia, Libya, etc. But, personally I don’t miss Russia’s  adventures in the Southern Hemisphere. It may be hilarious, but its also a ahistorical and a bit gamey. I guess this one’s a matter of personal taste. "i have yet to see a j1 dow" It is true that J1DOW is not the slam-dunk that it is in the vanilla game. One of our goals with BM was to nerf J1DOW somewhat, while keeping it viable. Notably, Adam has J1DOWed in the majority of his BM league games, where he played Axis. He won all of those games. "ok so what you’re saying, basically, is that you’d like to make the uk1 fac in egypt vanish from the playbook. . . .maybe from now on i’ll just plop all inf in london and call it a day? that’ll be my opening playbook from now on lol" lol. The Mod Squad is still exploring the extent to which the proposed UK/Egypt NO would restrict UK’s strategic flexibility. It has been suggested, for example, that an Egypt FAC on UK1 would still be viable, provided UK buys 5 inf, does not scramble, and does not taranto. The question then becomes whether this opening leaves the Egypt FAC too vulnerable to capture?  At any rate, given the substantial benefits a UK1 Factory in Egypt would confer, I have no problem saying to UK: “If you want the factory, you have to walk a narrow path to get there.” To be continued. . .

It’s OK!  Nice of you to say that though I don’t normally turn down a challenge - only when I’m too busy, which I won’t be soon

ill post it gg

sounds good, I’ll set it up today or tomorrow
