G4 2nd ed., no tech: Aev&Wittman vs. Dan&Rasmus

[Rasmustb]

Hi everybody

I hope we’ll get a fun and friendly game up!

We’ll start the bidding with 16

/Rasmus

[Witt]

14.
Nice to hear from you.

[Rasmustb]

I’ve talked to Dan and we’ve agreed to let you have the allies with a +16 bid. We are both danes based in Denmark and Norway and we can have G1 out tonight if you let us know how you’ll spend your 16ipc. You can pm me your emails.

cheers

[Witt]

Thank you guys. I presumed you were Americans!
16 seems too much. I have never had more than 12. Will see what Aequitas thinks.

[Witt]

As for the Bid, please give UK a Sub in SZ98 and a DD in SZ91.
If you really want to give us 16, then please give Russia the last 2 IPCs. But 14 seems fairer.

Aequitas will play UK/China/US and I will play Russia/Anzac/France.
I have enough games on and I would like Aequitas to get in some real game time.

Thanks. Not sure R1 is ever fun though.

G1 probably as lucky as you can get. 7 Inf and 2 Subs lost is close to the minimum, I
am sure.
Goodnight all.

[aequitas-et-veritas]

Let’s see what Japan is up to?!  Good Night all.

[danejstrup]

Yes, I think you are right, that Germany was very lucky on their first turn. Let us hope for the sake of the game that luck will be evened out along the way. Guess you are right that Russia’s first turn is kind of boring. I have played the game too little to get the feel of it.

I think we will make a Japan move tomorrow.

[Witt]

Rasmustb said the same this morning. Don’t worry guys.
We do all (pretend to) have lives outside of WW2 and A&A.
Russia has never been much of an interesting nation to play, but can become fun if Germany’s fortunes wane or a Sealion is undertaken.
Don’t expect heroics from me: I play a very conservative (scared) Russia.

[danejstrup]

Very lucky with Japan as well…

We think it would be fair if you delete Japan’s 2 surviving inf in Yunnan, in order to compensate for our extreme luck and make the game a bit more fair. Feel free to edit and make it so.

[Witt]

That is very gracious of you, but we cannot accept your offer.
All is as it should be.
Goodnight all.

[danejstrup]

OK, that is totally up to you. Hope luck will even out along the game.

By the way, please wait before moving with Allies, we would probably like to make a few changes to Japan’s non combat movement. We will probably make the changes and upload a new map within an hour.
