Tigertony also has a game up as allies. You 2 could play, if you haven't played before yet.

We've played each other before so looking for some new opponents :-)


pwurzburger here is looking to be allies in standard 1939 game


Hey pwurz! Glad you found your way here. Best place to post is ...

Interesting post. One could argue that Germany should just leave an Infantry unit in space (97, 32) to reduce the odds of a successful intrusion without significant effort from Allies.

But I believe that's not the only Danish vulnerability that can let the Allies pour into the Baltic. There's also ...

Pekkavilamoura (Axis) vs hasmat_slith (Allies)

Standard ELO rules. Finally taking the plunge as Allies

Thanks for the game, Harry and for all those very helpful tips you gave me, before we started, for keeping Italy in war longer. I can confirm they work quite well

And let's not forget, who thrashed who first! We'll have to do the rubber match at some point!

I think there is significant room to grow the community, if we could just get the word out about the ELO. My feeling is that there's a sizable # of committed gamers out there, like us, who just don't know about it.

In my experience, there has always been a healthy # of non-ELO WaW games being ...

Yeah, was a fun game with both of us in unchartered waters in the back half, to some extent or another. Some context around losses is warranted.

While my Germans have an inherently high tolerance for pain (you witnessed that firsthand in France :lol: ), the 'at all costs' mentality didn't fully ...

Those are some wild stats but seem to nicely capture my 'losses be damned' mentality held through-out much of the game.

You played a great game Pete, dominating me in so many different facets of the game. But ultimately sheer brute force won out.

HarrySmith (Allies) defeats hasmat_slith (Axis) SEP 42
Great game that I thought could progress further. Rob made quick work of Poland and France and great inroads into Russia. Captured Stalingrad and all the Caucasus and threatening Moscow. Unfortunately for him not major inroads into China and ...

Thanks Umeu, Lonerunner and Harry for the responses. I'm glad I asked, as I clearly had it wrong!

Great AAR! And luv the strategic discussion within the broader group.

As for seeing the all-in-France play back, it is sending me to a very dark place. Oh my beloved pzr corps, I weep at the heroic folly.

Increasingly players are using these:

1. No diplo on Majors
2. No Barbarossa before 1941
3. No diplo on Bulgaria
4. No Allied DoW on Japan before PH
5. No Italian navy outside Med before DoW
6. No using garrison transports as scouts
7. No using neutral ships / transports as scouts
8. No XP ...

New ELO game begins:

hasmat_slith (Axis) vs pwurzburger (Allies)

Standard 12 ELO rules


Game ends June 1943 with hasmat (Axis) win v. pwurzburger (Allies). Game decided in Russia with a late 1942 surrender and culminating in an epic battle for Spain in '43.

A non-ELO sparring buddy ...

And silly of me to mention some and not others. Umeu is certainly one I've seen posting generously. In fact, it's his masterful early start in France that I hate myself for liking!

Good luck with the wife. My advice, as someone who has witnessed a relaxation of constraints over time, is to play ...

Good words gents. After a rocky week I’d like to share some thoughts.

First, Kudos to firsted for grabbing the mantle and bringing structure and energy to the ELO. We are nothing without the spirit and efforts of the community. Your efforts are recognized and valued.

We all have roles to play ...

And apols for perhaps overreacting. We are a small and unique group of war gaming enthusiasts, we all benefit from keeping this friendly and healthy.

Strange that you thought the issue was the Pacific because I thought was getting hammered there. Fortunately the smaller capital ships don’t have ...

I would be interested in a ELO Game. Looking for the Best players. I prefer the Allies myself. :mrgreen:

I will Host with ELOGAME as the PW.
