13L AA50 - Gamerman01 (allies) vs Soundcrescent (axis +6)

[gamerman01]

Also, giving me 50% odds on Germany the past two rounds is VERY SMART
I also think you’ve been defending France very well - I mean - not too much, not too little.
I’m sure you will or have won a lot of games with your abilities
You haven’t played many league games on this website, have you?  Have you done a lot of playing somewhere else, or just play mostly face to face with friends?  Just curious  :-)

Um, I’m pretty sure English is not your primary language and you are from Europe, so my slang and idioms may not be understood.  Feel free to ask for clarification if you are unsure what I mean.  smiley

I am from North Italy, but I think I understood everything :-)

Also, giving me 50% odds on Germany the past two rounds is VERY SMART

I am behind, so I can take a risk. Also, don’t forget to count the planes which don’t conquer the territory.

I also think you’ve been defending France very well - I mean - not too much, not too little

France is the most important territory to keep after Germany, Axis must keep it at all costs. Sometimes it is better to concede even Italy than France.

I’m sure you will or have won a lot of games with your abilities
You haven’t played many league games on this website, have you?  Have you done a lot of playing somewhere else, or just play mostly face to face with friends?  Just curious  smiley

My cousin showed me once the game in the box, it was love at the first sight and I learnt to play online using Triplea.
I played few games here and few games in Triplewarclub site. I will play more games here, but now only one simoultaneosly because I don’t have much time.
I only know Anniversary. Which version of Axis and Allies do you prefer? I see now people mostly play Global.

Sound, I just want to acknowledge that although you’ve kind of been a step behind all game (and this has a lot to do with R1 dice and later tech dice), you have definitely “hit your stride” and have played pretty well.  I’d better keep bringing my A game if I want to win

I agree. You played well too. I think that only in one American turn you were not so smart and both in the Atlantic and in the Pacific you were about to compromise your smooth war.

Sorry if I took so long to post. I am on Holiday, but in this hotel there is Internet connection. I can play regularly now, although I feel our war won’t last long…

[gamerman01]

Yeah, G40 has been the game for me the past 9 months.  This is why (and because I had never played AA50 on TripleA before) I was quite disoriented throughout the first round.

[gamerman01]

@soundcrescent:

I think that only in one American turn you were not so smart and both in the Atlantic and in the Pacific you were about to compromise your smooth war.

I overlooked 2 extra Japanese fighters that could attack my fleet at Wake that made the odds much worse for me than I thought I had.
It wasn’t lack of smarts - it was an oversight from not being used to AA50 and the Triple A map.  Dice bailed me out…

[gamerman01]

Triple A fires subs and requires casualty choices for them before it should, so I will roll the Zone 51 battle here using the site roller.

I hit super subs with USA

Rolls: 1@1 3@2 2@3 3@3 1@4; Total Hits: 61@1: (1)3@2: (3, 1, 3)2@3: (3, 3)3@3: (6, 2, 6)1@4: (2)

Even the carrier hit - that was a great roll

Need casualty choice to continue

After your last succesfull attack, I surrender  :-(
Congratulations, it was a great game anyway well played.
I would like you to give me a return match on the opposite side. If you want we can start now: at the moment I cannot play so often but within the terms.
Please let me now what you think
Regards

Fabio

[gamerman01]

Thanks, I will have to think about your challenge

Please remember to post game result

Good game to you too

I was fortunate in various ways

[gamerman01]

Sorry, I could have posted the result myself.  I am used to G40 league rules.

Speaking of G40, I really should stick with 1 version of the game at a time.  However, because I played a lot of '41 AA50 just a year or two ago, I give you the following offer:

I am willing to play another game if we play no tech and the '41 scenario.

No tech because the tech is so much different for AA50 from G40, which I am used to now

Assuming you do want to play a '41 scenario game, you may go ahead and start the bidding for Allies
