I have not been to these forums for along time. I was told upfront but had no idea what he meant by ELO. I agreed to no major diplomacy and no garrison transport scouts. When another player I was involved in a different match, told me it was a tournament match. I felt compromised. When I ...

Thank you very much, Pete, for sharing this very interesting material. It provides valuable insight into TH’s actual level of play. How is it possible that the player ranked number one could suffer such a clear and decisive defeat?

In my view, this calls into question the image of invincibility ...

Posting something that was disputed from over 2 years ago isn't particularly helpful.

Taifun is an excellent player who has added huge value to this forum with his superb AAR's and his insightful gameplay.

Slinging mud is a good attempt to distract attention from your own behaviour but you're ...

TH11, I think it is long overdue for you to stop making a mockery of the rest of us. By now, your behavior has been exposed, and it seems as though you are simply ridiculing the other players on this forum.

As far as I am concerned, the “ghost games” you keep posting have no credibility ...

Do they even know they are playing an ELO game?

Sure they know. It's agreed up front.

Did this rule change in a recent patch? My units are not within 2 of Chunkking or Sian (see screenshot). Would be nice if this was shown on the map and this type of event can tilt the game towards allies.

The Devil in the Details

My take on Japan's Optimal Opening (JOO)

Reorganize the North & Manchukao
I always send the HQ and the army in Hsinking to the Wuhan area. I upgrade the remaining two armies in Manchukao. The corps get sent to the Beijing area, though this takes several turns, as you ...

From an earlier thread it looks like this for the USA:

"There is a 50% chance until it fires that USA get 5-10% mobilization if there is an Axis unit within 1 hex of Alexandria, Cairo, or Amman."

I am sure there is a similar sized hit for USSR, but I can't find the details anywhere. Someone will ...

What is the penalty. Also - is there a list somewhere of all these penalties - I searched the strategy guide and not finiding it.

With respect to the game TL reported below I have a couple comments that are not a complaint but an expression of frustration. The game ended in March '47 in accordance with game rules when Japan's NM reached zero....


Harris is correct that Japan fell because of hitting zero NM. It is possible ...

Still not working. Can devs contact Slitherine and find out what's going on?
