A new G40 online TripleA tournament is getting setup.
Summer/Fall Spring 42.2E Tournament Discussion/Results Thread

It was a horrible set of dice. It happens. And it could have happened to either side.
It’s extremely unfortunate but it is not unique to 42.2E. As Germany you can just as easily lose the Sz 11 or Sz 7 battle and your BB in Sz 14 or 17, attack Egy and get no hits only to watch UK get 3. I’ve had G40 games end in rd 1 b/c Germany lost in its attempt to take Fra and it just made the rest of the game no longer fun. I’ve had Classic games end cause Germany lost its bomber to the stupid Transport off of Canada on G1. Revised and AA50 were not immune for bad round 1 dice-ings. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone Pearl Heavy in Revised or AA50 and gotten no hits and US blasts you. It really sucks when it happens. And in a friendly game you say lets just restart and you do.
They are rare cases and statistical outliers, but they happen. It’s a dice game. I’m sure we all have our share of bad beats in rd 1 or 2. -
I see we have 6 game threads going.
I know rmorel will be out for a little longer, I think that leaves Black_Elk and MagicQ as the other game.
Good progress so far. :-)
-
I dropped some lines for rmorel by pm to let him know, that we’re not in a hurry. I’ll wait for his wake-up call.
-
I got a pm from Magic Q a few days ago, asking for a few more days to review the rules.
-
As Germany you can lose all the naval battles out the gate and you would just end up with a FAIR game.

calvinhobbesliker (Allies +16) over djensen:

Cow wins over CrayKirk…
I screwed up and entered my ID wrong… should be Cray Z Kirk… Oh the days of the Cray-XMP and MT Shuttle Boosters…
I’m ready for my next lesson please…
-
Axis already up 2-0? BALANCED. Extreme outliers they say, balanced game they say.
-
Although I might still lose on my first match as Allies :cry:…I still think Allies can compete with Axis :lol:. Adding a bomber to Russia is quite helpful and give Russia a lot more flexibility…
-
Wait until Germany hit West Russia with everything they have +5 fig and 1 bmb. of course, the 6 AA will miss… Game over!

I won as Allies…
-
I am ready for my next game, please…
-
I am ready for round 2 calvin. If you want to get crushed

wittman has beaten Private Panic. :-o
I believe he plays calvinhobbesliker next. May the best man win. He certainly did in the first round!
-
You are a gentleman, Private.
My victory was helped by a risky India attack, which succeeded. PP tried a US Bombing tactic against Germamy, which may have worked if not for the loss of both Bonbers on his first Bombing run.
I, most certainly, had the better luck throughout. -
axis 3-1
-
I’m still just waiting to start a game.
Maybe we could sub in the alternates? Get some wild cards going for these tournament brackets? hehe
-
I sent magic a PM
–-------------------
First post updated with results.
4 games done. and as Cow has pointed out, Axis starting very strong.Hopefully the last two rd 1 games can get started with rmorel back. P@nther is out until 9/8 I think, so we still have time for rd 1.
-
Another allies down soon :lol:
If anyone would like to play a sub game while waiting feel free to ping me…
-
i would like to try a game for whatever… i like the bomber for Russia. I would like to learn…
