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!

well, that is without doubt the best ground defense i have seen in this game on a g1 … 23 hits on defense in three battles. this looks a lot like my game with EM … his dice just roasted me.

in three ground battles…
i was 11 under average,… you were 8 over average – a differential of almost 20 in a single nation’s turn!
almost exactly the kind of dice i got against EM, and that game was over after 4 turns…the in-house dice just do not like me right now… :x
-
don’t forget to delete one of the infantry units (french or british) in normandy… one of the few i killed in that g1 debacle. 8-)

you are smokin’ me on the ground…. who knew the french could fight like that! :lol:
Jmite figured it out. My French there shrugged off the Germans and are in a decent position to invade Frankfurt now!

Hey, it could be AWESOME to show France controlling Berlin on Round 5 though! You gotta admit, it would make the community chuckle! Perhaps they will start to believe the dice are fickle beasts, no?

Good catch. EM had me going with an armored everytime I wanted to move one of my MI around. Makes more sense this way, I can race replacement MIs forward to replace those fallen against the enemy.
We getting a round from Japan, or are you hoping that if you wait until tomorrow the Dice Gods will forgive you for your heretical statements?

offering sacrifices to the dice gods in hopes of appeasement. it’ll be tomorrow… pretty chaotic right now in central alabama. a&a (and a lot of other things) have taken a back seat…
