XDAP-02 The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul vs The Headless Neds!

eskander

Sorry again. I wanted to get my turn in before my nonstop work days away from home but site was down. I have periods of days where it just isn’t feasible to make a play (and my partner is in the same boat on those days). Then I have days where I have too much time. Makes turn based play difficult!

Major Major

I’ve never used the live feature, but we could try to nail down a time for all of us if you talk us through it.

Manual upload. Error message about some garbage about refresh header.

eskander

If there’s a good time for you folks to do that, we can look at it. It’s just a matter of connecting to the same game.

I’ll be around all day today (mostly). Tomorrow may take some of my time, but nothing significant. After that, I’m relatively free for the rest of the weekend (except for silly Halloween things).

I’ll make sure to focus on this to get our turns done the turn based way as much as possible, but if you any of you folks find yourself with some time while idling around the computer we can work something out for the lobby play.

Antholin

All right all, I will have my Russian turn posted by tomorrow at the latest.

hello guys,

it has been almost 2 months and you still have not declared war!

you should meet up to play in the lobby, even if not all team members can make it, just one player from each side is all that is needed. if not, one team is going to be very upset with this game going to a decision.

kind regards,

Major Major

if antholin has not taken turn by tomorrow, I or Stal will. I could be available tuesday evening…

Gargantua

I know it’s way early on in the game… but I have to call it boys.

How does each side plead?

Major Major

Well it is like this. They havent faced quite the bad luck we did in our first round gamet it hasnt been very good for them. WHen looking at the game, consider that UK is about to go and will declare war on Japan. We will be collecting at least 70more IPCs than them by the end of the turn and have over 750IPCs more unit value. We control the Atlantic with the Allies and the US JUST entered the war. It is a luck win, but it is a win for us I believe, Crazy tourney. I was so excited for it, and have now seen crazy luck dictate both games early. I hope to get a good game in at some point.

Well fought my worthy opponents. If you have any interest in continuing the game for fun or perhaps challange us to a rematch we will be willing!

Thanks Garg for setting up the tourney.

p.s. Is there any info the 2nd Edition placement and rules being edited in soon?

Gargantua

My gut and secret observers are also saying allies. But I want to hear from the AXIS. If they are willing to submit it’s lost, they can resign with a dignity that won’t soon be forgotten (And continue the game seperately).

Stalingradski

I’d like to back up Infrastructure in saying that our opponent had some rough dice early on in this one. The British presence in the Atlantic comes directly from the early turn bad luck.

The UK was about to pincer SZs 91 and 92 from inside the Med and from Canada. The foundation of multiple Battleships and Cruisers would have formed the backbone for the US to start sending a great deal of material to N Africa, and from there go either north or into the Med.

Regardless of how this ends up, thanks to TLDTTOTS for the game -

eskander

I apologize both myself and my partner haven’t been around as much as we would have liked. I’ve been swamped with some new business stuff that has made it quite difficult.

There’s various ups and downs to both sides at this point, but I agree that the UK fleet survival was the nail in the coffin on this one. Additionally, I know that our team is mostly responsible for the lag in playing this game out. For that reason alone, I think it should go to the Allies. I can’t completely speak for my partner, but for the tournament, I’ll concede. Just not enough time right now to keep up with this.

With that said, however, I am willing to keep attempting to play out this game for the fun of it and see where it goes. Just know that there’s days where I don’t have a damn bit of free time and those days are increasingly common right now, but I will try to keep up as best as I can.

Thanks for the game so far.

Stalingradski

Thanks Eskander - you guys have been good opponents. I’ll take UK’s turn today, and we can keep playing it on the tourney thread for as long as you guys want, with no worries about time constraints.

Garg - Team Headless Neds will keep an eye out for our second round match.
