Story of my life in this game. Every time I have a significant battle against the Russians I get my ass handed to me!

(Don’t take this as me complaining about the dice - you are clearly winning this game and if things don’t drastically change by the 31st I will certainly declare you the winner).

Wow that battle indeed was insane.
Not only did you score significantly less hits than usual, I also hit more than usual. I really feel you here, bro - you just can’t believe it when you see these dice.

Which other battle has been diced, though? I can’t remember, this game is so long g

I really thought, you might have intentionally dragged this game so that it counts for 2014. Maybe so that your PPG for this year doesnt drop or something. Cause I would have conceded something like 10 turns ago in your shoes :-)

Japan got smoked 2 or 3 times trying to kill the Russians. Not a huge deal but it allowed ANZAC to get huge and ultimately kept Japan from becoming a monster (see all of my other games when I’m the axis).

Also, the first time I took Moscow I should have kept enough units to keep you at bay but rolled way under like I just did.

Taken individually, none of these were huge deals, but collectively they set me back on both sides. Add to that a fairly error free game on your part then we get to where we currently are.

@MrRoboto:

Nah, I think I will probably take a break after the deadline so I would like this one to end before then. I have 4 games on the go right now and will probably concede at least half of them - I don’t really care if I make it into the finals, but I should have the win% to stay in.

To be honest, I figured this game was over once you retook London - I thought I could take it back but miscalculated. For then on, I have kept playing in part to see what I could do to get out of a difficult situation and also because I wanted you to get the win clean.

All in all a fun game. I started 3 other games around the same time as this one, all as the axis. I tried different strategies for all of them. Let’s just say the other two ended quite a while ago :)

I will try to get Japan out quickly tomorrow and hopefully we will have enough time for you to take Berlin before the deadline (I am happy to give you that option if we don’t make the deadline, but I will concede before so the win counts for this year).

[Hank13]

I’m officially calling this one for you!

Congrats. You played a great game and you are very enjoyable to play against. I hope we can play again in the new season.

If you want to continue until you take Germany I’m game, but I want to get this one on the books before the deadline.

[MrRoboto]

Thank you and I enjoyed that game as well!

We do not need to continue until the fall of Berlin. It would have been my first time, though g

Wanna start a 2014 game right away or are you busy with the playoff games?

[arathorn]

Just a comment on an illegal move by USA round 3.

Just wanted to let you know that MrRoboto’s A3 move is illegal. USA is not allowed to move into a sz with Japan controlled island/territory when they’re not at war with Japan. So the “securing” of the anzac attack, enabling a NB for USA for the next round is not allowed.

Of course, it is too late now - but MrRoboto, you can’t use that move again in the future, since it is not legal.

Arathorn

[MrRoboto]

Oh, yeah. That mistake somehow slipped through

[boldfresh]

tripleA allows many incorrect actions.  the player has the responsibility to catch them.

[boldfresh]

the player making the illegal action also has the responsibility not to knowingly take advantage of the fact tripleA allows the rules to be broken, of course.

[MrRoboto]

I know it is not allowed and I know all of the tripleA problems (gamerman prepared a spreadsheet for that).

It just slipped through, I simply forgot it.

[boldfresh]

@MrRoboto:

gamermans list actually only addresses z37 - apparently there are several other zones, including caro.

cheers

[MrRoboto]

Yeah that SZ is even listed in the tripleA notes of that game map.
