Hello everyone, with the new year and a new support drive beginning, @mikawagunichi and I have decided to sweeten the pot a bit and generate some interest for our favorite league game variant. For any player who has never played PTV or whose most recent PTV league game was completed in 2023 or earlier, we will pay for a Gold badge for any player who completes 3 PTV League games this year. For players who pay for their own badge, we will still make an equivalent dollar amount donation to the forum. Limited to the first 5 sign ups, please DM if interested, thank you!

Holy shit Mark, you can’t catch a break. This game of chess is straight ridic
haha well I never said this is like chess and that dice can’t play a factor, just that NORMALLY this much bad luck doesn’t happen all in one game, all in large crit battles like this.
gg in any case. I did have fun
-
the swings in like 4 major critical battles within two games is like astronomical. just hasn’t been my experience at all, until now with you, the very person I tried to prove was not mostly a luck-based game haha
-
Hell yeah, number 1 baby. I was ok with losing Belgium to kill all your ground units and most your air force. This just feel dirty lol.
I mean I should have been able to take West Germany if rolls went expected.
-
yah well tbh I was hoping to catch some luck and do better than average this time, given I felt owed something by MARTI lmao… she can be an especially cruel bitch at times
I had some interesting plans… for example I was going to make a rush for s.africa with Japan, and there’d not be much you could’ve done about that… once that was taken, africa would get swallowed up, with even Egypt getting threatened. or at the very least, you’d have to divert some attention over there.
-
maybe I just have really bad luck against Karls lol… like I said, the only other guy I’ve had massive dicing like this is a Karl7 who plays in the league
-
You can’t snarl the Karls
-
Karl has epic luck vs me too.
-
However, this game vs you might be worse than anything I’ve experienced.

honestly I normally would never go with even 75% odds like that, even with it showing a positive average… I decided to go for it for two reasons, a) I felt kinda desperate to make something big happen and b) I was super curious if the tragic luck streak would remain consistent to the end.
-
I suppose I never really could recover from this early epic failure… which allowed US’s involvement in Europe to be a lot bigger than it would otherwise be possible.
-
Yeah I was looking forward to using those 3 trannies by Aussie Land. And the US transport train in Europe was just starting to come together. Was going to to dump ground units and a couple more trannies at Europe while beefing up that Pacific navy to finally pull some plays over there.
Anyway, ez game.
-
Was also looking forward to a real French turn :sunglasses:

Nah you were too far behind in the pac to do anything useful there. Japan had more than caught up, but still behind schedule overall which allowed you to get away with dumping tons into Europe.

Yah but if things had gone reasonably well in Holland then France wouldn’t matter much. I mean could you imagine if it swung that heavily my way, how different things would look??
-
You wasted your good rolls on the Italian attack on France.

@axis-dominion I’ve just been resting on my throne after defeating the second best general. There are none left to challenge me.
