@Arthur-Bomber-Harris Clicked too fast before realizing I should have asked for casualty choices in 114 since my DD had to die in the first round. If you would have preferred to take the hit on the BB and end it in a stalemate, you can edit a sub back, and then a fig to UK for me.
2015 Championship Game: JDOW Axis vs Zhukov44 Allies+40
-
Sir, I think it is really time to resume that game now, that game speed is kind of frustrating. I am certainly no one who insists on the 72 hour rule but I think the US/UK moves should be doable at least in a week or so. Is that possible?
-
Sorry everyone and especially JDOW. Been really busy and this is an important turn and I don’t want to screw it up. I can understand your frustration though so feel free to use bumps.
-
Well, bumping is certainly not the way I wanna go, or would you say that this would psychologically influence you? :-)
You didn’t say anything about when you can continue? Can you make the move during the Christmas days?
-
Bump #1
Please note that your hesitation and procrastination of decision making significantly influences the moral of your troops.
They sense that lack of leadership and will fight worse the longer they do not know what their generals plan them to do.Axis intelligence reports first defectors, both in Asia as well es Europe.
-
Bump #2
Happy new year.
Sir, any update? You haven’t moved for an entire month now. We are all busy somehow, but could you now stop procrastinating the move and continue the championship final?
Not moving at all is not the appropriate reaction to being anxious to mess something up because the game situation is complicated.Come on. It is not even that I can’t wait to make my moves, the game is very very challenging and I have no idea about the outcome. But the battle must be fought!
-
I think Zhuk´s delay reason is that his time in the last month has been very limited, he did not even answer when I conceded in our last game, unusual in a gent like him.
I hope he returns on time and provides the rest of this very interesting game, Axis has advantage now in my view, but definately still a lot of chances to win for Zhuk.
Congrats JDOW for having balanced the match for Axis with a 40 bid + a disaster suffered with Japan initially, I think it is really meritorious.
You are in your right to win this league through a third bump, and in my view you would be a fair winner after what I just described, but I beg you a little more patience, it is much better having a league winner with all honors and a lot of us want to see the rest of this great show.
-
“Congrats JDOW for having balanced the match for Axis with a 40 bid + a disaster suffered with Japan initially, I think it is really meritorious.”
Thanks for the praise, means a lot. I would like to add that prior to my disaster at Java I had great France attack G1 only losing 1 ground and, even more important, a very pleasant outcome of the risky attack at Yunnan J1. Then after the horrible third round I found some imbalance in favor of the Allies. But the turn after Japan had 4 battles where every hit would have forced me to take an aircraft down and all allies whiffed.
So in case I lose I would not blame the dice given the current battles.
-
Sorry JDOW extremely busy with work and family right now. I’ll make a move by Saturday, hopefully sooner.
-
Okay, thanks for the update!
-
self-imposed deadline came and went, but still want to continue, working on it now. Should post by tonite.
Should have more time now that the holidays are over.

this can’t be the 2015 championship game?!?
-
It is. The playoff of the 2015 season started end of 2015 and haven been stretched till now. My semifinal game against Gamerman took 6 months and this game started in early September.
-
Feels like taking over a game from someone else that is already in progress:)
No idea what my plans where.I checked the map and just thought:
- Damn, Allies have 600+ TUV edge and 100 more units, many many reds on the map :-/
- Holy shit, you must have replaced Stalin by a capitalistic gold digging puppet :-o
- Where the f*ck is my Italian bomber?
- WTF, 25 chinese at Yunnan? and 15 Chinese income.
- Hey, I can attack India, nice!
- Whew, healthy Luftwaffe, 20 German planes, including 7 bombers :evil:
- Cool, Germans 82 to spend and in the middle east already. But did I have any plans there? (I believe any plan I had did not matter as it heavily depended on the US/UK turn anyway)
Let’s see what the Italians can do to protect the humble territorial demands of the peaceful Axis party against the evil Allies perpetrators invading Axis ground from all sides.
