Germany Turn 3 Reinforcements Complete D-Day Game 30.tsvg
Underrolling for Rennes 3 times in a row… hope that’s recoverable…
@SuperbattleshipYamato said in TGC (CP) vs Yamato (Entente), 1914, oob, with RR rule, Game 3:
I know, I’m acting like an idiot.
I believe you. Considering how you took Holland I hope that means I only have to endure a couple more turns of utter humiliation.
I really think if its not fun we should call the game. You played tenaciously and I even reached out to my buddy Ragnell804 to talk to him about how hard you’re fighting and how hard it is to truly bury the Entente - its not like this when the CP lose.
Its nobody’s fault the game designers decided to make the victory conditions so odd. I am up to 52 games completed of 1914, and yours are the only that are not played to concession. You should not feel humiliated and I’d hate to think that’s whats happening here (I’m incredibly impressed actually). I’d just hate to think that playing this way while you’re not having fun will make you hate the game.
It’s not just this game, I play almost all my games to victory conditions.
I still enjoy these games, even if the end is sometimes quite exhausting. It’s just a somewhat irrational desire to play to the very end.
I guess I got a little over the top with “humiliated”. It’s just sad to see my guys get defeated. Sort of how I guess those generals back in the day felt when they were losing.
I would like to still play.
I think you’re right that it’s much harder to defeat the Allies. I saw that when Tamer of Beasts beat you as the Allies he only did it in 10 turns. A number that shocked me when our games go past 12 turns, and in this case, 20.

Yeah, in Tamers game, I extended a concession on turn 5 because things were going so badly everywhere. However, I wanted to play out a few more turns just to be sure and Tamer obliged.
Dang. Sure hope he doesn’t crush me in my game with him.
