I’m around again tonight. If you can get Russia done, I’ll have Japan done before the morning.

Guys I have to call this game… 110 days… But it’s too damn hard to say!

Any chance you can finish it live?  Or is one party willing to admit defeat?  I’d like to hear the arguments from each side.

Japan is in a heap of trouble, but they’ve got some great attacks this turn, and they also don’t face much new opposition.

India is also in BIG trouble… and with that done, and -not enough- ground work in Europe, I think Russia will erode before too long.

I want to say 60/40 Axis, because that’s my gut… but maybe there’s something I’m not seeing from the allied side?

Please comment.

We were doing about 5 turns a day until yesterday if we can go a couple more days, we should be able to get in two rounds.

I did notice… hence I held my tongue.
;)

I don’t know what happened yesterday though. I’m rearing to go.

Sorry folks. Ended up being busy.

I do realize the game has gone on far too long for the tourney.

I agree with Garg.  The game is definitely leaning on the axis side of things. And I believe that will become increasingly clear as we go along barring some quite jilted rolls, especially after another round.

Strategically, Allies have made too many mistakes and economically Axis and Allies are far too close for Allies to have the upper hand. Tactically, I’d point out a few more things, but I’d hate to give my opponent ideas.

With all that said, though, here’s a thought:

Since the tournament needs to move along and the Axis are leading, I say Unterhund goes on to play the next team in the winning bracket while Long Dark Tea Time goes to the losing bracket with 1 loss.  We begin our next games.

However, I’d really like to continue playing this game, at least for another round(s) over the next few days/week.  This being my first global 40 game, I could learn some things about how the game is playing out right now.  Additionally, this being my partner’s first real Axis and Allies game, it could help him to see how things are playing out.

Though unlikely at this point, if Allies were to pull out a victory, Long Dark could have their loss transferred to Unterhund without messing up the tournament too much.

What do you folks think?

Regardless, Russia’s turn is incoming…

I’m up for continuing to play.

@Eskander:

… I say Unterhund goes on to play the next team in the winning bracket while Long Dark Tea Time goes to the losing bracket with 1 loss.  We begin our next games…

Hello eskander,

With the attack of the killer gorillas resigning, the billy club receiving the decision, and your team resigning the first round is over.

Are you still the official braketeer? Will you be updating the bracket?

Yessir. Updated.

Is that under the new SBR rules?  You can scramble to prevent nose picking?
