Hello everyone, with the new year and a new support drive beginning, @mikawagunichi and I have decided to sweeten the pot a bit and generate some interest for our favorite league game variant. For any player who has never played PTV or whose most recent PTV league game was completed in 2023 or earlier, we will pay for a Gold badge for any player who completes 3 PTV League games this year. For players who pay for their own badge, we will still make an equivalent dollar amount donation to the forum. Limited to the first 5 sign ups, please DM if interested, thank you!
CDS (X) vs Wiz (L) PTV

Thanks! Edit on this map is sometimes required.

I need to redo my turn with Germany, noticed a rule that makes things a little bit easier for me. So that changes my purchase, but not my combat movement or non-combat movement. I already made the combat and you didnt get a hit, so its on me if you succeed the other time around.

@cds its definitely a different game now! Your med strategy is very difficult to overcome…but the compensation is a much freer hand with Russia…
-
Yes, its quite the investment. But I hope that when I have reached my goals, that I can use some resources (units/pu) on other fronts. We shall see what will happen.
-
Question: I assume you forgot about your anzac units in sz32?! I can edit them for you, because I think its a mistake… But if not, Ill have to look at a way to destroy them :D
-
@cds anzacs should be with the main US fleet as per my edit on Anzac 4? If you could please edit them there that would be great…

Dice are so FUBAR!
I know that scramble vs a sub is useless in sz40 for example, but then there is no battle anyway… But in sz33 there was a battle, where you could have scrambled from AC with 3 ftr’s… I would have won according to battlecalc, but you never know! :D
-
Another rule that would have made me choose a different attack then… Instead of more units in sz33, I would have supported sz24 more… Probably I would have scored a hit then, but thats all in the past now :(
-
One thing I find very important is that when we have a large battle, we have the opportunity to choose casualties… And not to tell the OOL upfront… I choose according to the hits scored, especially when there are units present (bombers for example) with a low defense, but high value…
