Oops, I just realized now that the axis conceded…

GG, sucks that it ended on a poor note.  Wish both Dutch and Seth well with future games.

bump - what’s up seth?  you have fallen off the face of the earth!  come baaaaaaack

I dunno about impressive. Different yes, but the whole purpose of the strat was a failure. I still got the win, but that was more in spite of the strat than because of it.

GG Matt. Great playing against ya.

yes, please

That’s 3 bumps plus another 72 hour delay, so I am claiming the win.

However, if you come back and would like to resume before the end of the league year, I will certainly play it out with you.  And if you win, you will get the win and I will undo the result.

Hope nothing bad has happened to you
Talk to you later

Thanks for the support, guys.  I’ll continue to do my best to promote fun, comaradarie and fair play.

we each shot down a plane in the air battle and then your aa shot down my bomber which was guaranteed to disable the base if it hit.  i still have some last gasp attempts in this game, could still go at your fleet with all the german air and hope to get hella lucky… but i should get back to some long delayed games that started long before this one.

cheers

Not a problem Seth, hope everything works out.

@seththenewb:

FYI, I won’t try to claim a win by bumps unless an opponent completely disappears on me.  😉

Bump 3 for the win. I don`t like the idea of bumping to win but I do need to finish up some games as the deadline is approaching. I agree with what Gamerman posted to you earlier, so I will just copy and paste it:

_That’s 3 bumps plus another 72 hour delay, so I am claiming the win.

I will be more than happy to pick this one up again. Send me a PM when you are able to continue.

Also, if you can’t continue until after the deadline, let’s start fresh for next year’s league. I am officially challenging you to a home and home series - we’ll agree on a bid and play both sides. If its tied 1-1 then well do a tiebreaker for bragging rights 🙂

Hope all is well.

According to Arathorn I can call this game because of the 9 day rule, will reinstate it if you want but calling it for now.

@Degrasse:

@Gamerman01:

Ah, so Degrasse’s conclusion was correct even though it was a small sample size…

Thanks for the timely reply, Veqryn.

I’ve removed it from my list

I’m showing this to my wife that I’m right once in a while.  🙂

I think she already knows about your small sample size.

Ba dum dish . . . I’ll be here all week!

Low, funny, but real low!  lol.

Oh and the other thing I meant to mention is it’s generally best to station several fighters in Moscow whenever German bombers are in range. I would’ve sent them anyway, but just having interceptors there can dissuade some people. And you might get lucky and shoot 1-2 down. The AB usually gives you the range you need anyway.

(tough for me I mean)

You should have seen my face when I realized Moscow fell  :lol:

Good game.

Transports may not attack without being accompanied by at least 1 unit with an attack value, unless they are conducting an amphibious assault from a friendly sea zone that is free of enemy submarines.

This should read “Transports may not attack in a sea battle without being accompanied by at least 1 unit with an attack value.”

Yes!

Up for a rematch? I doubt we’ll finish in the time left we have for this year, but we could start it with the view of making it a 2014 league game.

I’m off for now.

INF on New Guinea, 3 IPCs for London

Sorry for your loss and no problem man. I was wondering if I should bump you again, but you’ll notice I refrained.  😉

I’ll take the win if you insist. I don’t know how much you’ll be in and out. But I don’t mind putting this on a very delayed play pace if you wanted to go that route. Up to you and how busy you’ll be and if you’re in the mood for playing.

Ok, same bid and switch sides? Same bid and same sides? Or rebid?

Fair enough re “Space bar”. I btw have to say that I meanwhile do not play DOW1 with Japan by default as I am currently trying a strategy where Japan DOW1 is not too beneficial for.

But thanks a lot for the links, I will certainly have a look on it.

Cheers!

Yeah, I really like that SBR strategy… you took it to a new level though.  I will have to use that in the future…

That’s the great thing about reality…  🙂

I know this is pretty dated (1998!) and the colors hurt your eyes some. But read Don Rae’s essays if you want to be a more competitive player. And when you’re done reading them, read them a 2nd time. Come back to them after a couple of weeks of applying his ideas and then read them again!

He wrote those five essays way before there was anything but A&A classic. So not everything is applicable anymore (we have new units he didn’t write about and the values have changed for some of the others he studied) and some of it’s just written towards the classic map. However, I have yet to find  a series of essays as well thought out and written as his are. Other essays and writings I’ve seen have talked about openings, recommended moves & buys, etc. But not too many go deeper into WHY you should make certain moves/buys and why others aren’t so great.

You should really key in on when he writes about deadzones, infantry push mechanics, and setting up stable fronts. The infantry push mechanic has changed some since you can now get mech that move 2 spaces. But the basic premise behind it hasn’t changed, protect your valuable pieces!
