  • Been very busy….  Deadlines… Out of State wedding this weekend…
    Maybe tonight, or it will probably be early next week…


  • Really not trying to stall, just been busy IRL

    Losing badly by TUV and income, so will try to keep this game moving so the final can be played (and the 3rd place game), but it’s too early to give up yet with as many units as I still have on the board.

    Hopefully get USA move done tonight

  • All right, that’s enough.  Seems like the right time to resign.

    Very well played - it will be interesting to see how many consecutive tournaments you can win!


  • Thx. The beginning of the game was really tough in the Pacific. As you said, the battle of Ukraine of R2 was a very big problem, and I guess a good part of the game has been played there. I have no idea if making this attack was good or not, since after all you had the possibility to retreat which kind of make up the lower odds ; but I believe you made a big mistake by rolling a second turn there ; of course, you were not supposed to be diced like that, and that’s really unlucky ; but after the first turn you had no more odds of winning, and in average you had nothing really nice to win…

    After that, I guess you needed to invest towards Europa with the US, which enabled Japan to overcome them in the Pacific, and when you switched from Pacific to Europa, I was quite confident with the game. Defense in Europa was tough too, but I believe that without mistake on my part, you did not have real odds to overcome the axis in this area (since I had Caucasus, which was locking Russia outside of this fight).

    Good game overall ; I think that as usual in a game with a good level on both sides, minor details made the difference.
