@Private-Panic said in NML 1914 team game 16:
@Elrood Your Turks were lucky! But then your Austrians were not.
leave me alone! I am not the bad guy here! :-O
Hi, I think we will be able to get a move out in the beginning of next week, hope that is ok. Personally I am quite busy this weekend. And I have not heard from Rasmus lately, so I assume he is busy as well.
Dan
Nice to hear from you. Hope you have been well. Don’t worry too much about the speed of the game. Both Aequitas and I are great football fans( my team being better, of course), so we have been busy enough with that.
Enjoy the sun.

EDIT:
I forgot to move the SS in India to Malaya :-(.
Guess the move you talk about is a non combat move? In any case I guess it is fine to just edit the change according to your wishes, I guess that would only be fair (I have not checked the map, so at the moment I don’t know the specific move).
In any case, just wanted to let you know that be might get a move out today. I am not sure though, have not heard back from Rasmus. We try to Skype during the move, think it is fun to do it that way.
Regarding this, I wonder what preferances you have regarding the 72 hour rule etc.? If that is important to you, we will of course try our best to violate it as little as possible. However, personally (and I think Rasmus as well) would prefer a more flexible approach, e.g. that it is no problem if it is sometimes 4-7 days before a move is posted (even if we will try and do it sooner when possible). But again, I respect that the 72 hour rule is the main rule if you prefer that, and I see that there can be some pros for that rule as well, that the game could be a little slow otherwise. Anyway, what do you guys think?
Hi Dane . Hope you have been well.
The 72 hour rule is of for League games. This is a friendly one. Don’t worry.
OK great, thanks for the clarification and the large attitude. Of course, take your time with your moves as well, if you occasionally prefer so. Yes, I am fine thanks. Nice with summer, good weather, World Cup, Wimbledon etc., too many good things to choose from :-)
By the way, regarding Axis and Allies I am currently wondering about something, perhaps you guys have an opinion?
I am considering to just play low Luck games for a while. I know I have limited experiece to judge from. However, out of my first 3 ongoing games it seems like the dice have severely skewed two of them early and that the dice have been the major cause of unbalancing the game early. One game is the one with you guys, to me it seems like Rasmus and I have had extremely lucky dice from early. In another game I actually surrendered as axis after Italy 1 because of horrible dice in each turn, the position seemed close to hopeless even that early (in another game I surrendered as allies after Italy 1, but that was because I made a total fuck up and lett axis take and hold Egypt easily, had nothing to do with unlucky dice).
I guess my question is: How often do the dice severely unbalance the game early? 50% More? Less? Your best guess percentagewise? Personally I think I would prefer low luck games most of the time, unless that number is no more than 10-20% at the most. As mentioned, I suspect that number to be much higher.
By the way, even if I would prefer low luck games for a while, it would probably change along the way. Just think it would feel nice to get a feel of what “normal” games are like at first. The dice seem to often make it somewhat difficult to gain experience at “normal” games.
Morning Dane.
Everyone who plays AAA seems to have a problem with Marti and the dice rolls. I see weird things, but take them in my stride. I am not unduly bothered and do not want to play Low Luck, but that is just me.
Just wanted to mention that worst case is that it might be a week or so untill we make our next move. Perhaps much sooner though, but hard to tell. I am in Copehagen for a short stay untill start of next week (I am Danish, but live in Norway currently). It is possible that I meet up with Rasmus who also lives in Copenhagen, and that we might make the move then. But unsure, hard to tell what time we have on our hands. I am sorry that we are so slow currently, hope to improve it a bit along the way.
Again, do not worry. Spend time with friends and family.
No Problem. Enjoy your time in Copenhagen!
