Tourney AAR KorutZelva (Axis) vs Mika (Allies)

[KorutZelva]

I take comfort that the my vet tank fended off a million attacks before dying (even destroying a wounded french bomber) [X(]

That big spike in mpp damage in the table above is what they incurred going on the offence and does not include the damage inflicted on the german counter. I don't think they can sustain that level of casualty for much longer. meanwhile, the iraqi are shaking the yoke of the english and bring the German mpp to 984mpp. [:D]

[LLv34Mika]

I can not counter attack every turn, that is true. And you can not kill two or three units every turn anymore. I'll reinforce my units and counter attack again. When it hurts most, where it hurts most.

My MPPs are around 650 right now. Should increasy pretty soon. I expect a pretty long game btw. Your rocket strategy is not made for a very fast game and the missing tanks hopefully slowed down whatever you plan. As soon as you get close to Gibraltar and el Alamein the US mobilization will get a boost. I hope to see them join the allies in fall 1941.

July 1941 right now and Barbarossa did not start so far. I expect the attack every turn. Hopefully not fully prepared.

You re getting me exitedddddd [:)]

[KorutZelva]

Don't listen to the ramblings of this madman. [:D] He's lead by an old drunk best known for the Dardanelles fiasco.



I ain't getting close to Gibraltar, I'm waiting for Pearl Harbor. [:'(]
In other news, Italy passed Russia in tech spendings.

[LLv34Mika]

End of July 1941/early August

Not a real counter attack but a cheaper one and I couldn't resist. Italian tank forces destroyed. Now that are three tanks and one tactical bomber lost in North Africa.

STILL no Barbarossa! I really hope there is much rain and mud in September/October and the Red Army will have a long winter to build up its strength.

British forces on their way to force a surrender in Baghdad.

You should have resisted since it cost you a tank of your own. [:'(]

[LLv34Mika]

It slows you down later... that's what I want. Iraq is mine soon and you can guess where the resistance will be.

You going somewhere?

[room]

Well I have no turn to play atm so I need other people to feed me nice games [:D]

[LLv34Mika]

I'm a bit surprised about how late Barbarossa is starting. This won't leave enough time for a fast approach towards the objectives. Again I can only hope for much rain, mud and snow.

I wonder if our losses are high or low compared to other games. Does anyone know a graph that shows a similar timestamp?

Something I learned in my HB game. No point in waking up the bear until almost fully mobilized... [:)]

I know you announced you would make a stand in Iraq but I wonder how much land unit you will have left to do so. [:'(]

[room]

I guess between the ongoing NA/irak campaign and the slightly delayed French pillage, there is a need to wait for those french acquired unit to arrived and be placed where needed.

Regarding Mpps losses, if I recall correctly (last turn was a few days ago), losses here are slighltly higher on both sides but more so for the german. However I went very (too much) cautiously and an historical route and had a smaller income too than KZ has.

[LLv34Mika]

Finally Barbarossa has started... it is September 1941
only one month (maybe 3 or 4 turns) left to make progress. That should help!

USSR ships leaving the ports since they are attacked by German u-boats. A heavily damaged battleship runs into a destroyer doing some damage. The soviet u-boat escapes to the next port attacking the Bismarck and doing 2 damage. Better than nothing.

The biggest surprise was that KZ did not kill everything the Soviets deployed. One fighter and one medium bomber survived. I also secured the railway back and could operate a few land units to let them fight later. I call it a big success for me.

Persia surrendered to the USSR so additional goods may be delivered in the near future. Meanwhile UK troops are on their way to secure Iraq. Sure, you destroyed some units. But you also lost many units and now I will have time to build them again. I hope you send some more to North Africa to be sure. That means less units for Stalin. I already see a new tank here. That's what I wanted to achieve.

I already have something like a plan. You can be sure to see what is going on next year.

Btw... I noticed the V1 was already re-designed. Your new V2 looks great. Maybe I should start to bomb Peenemünde.

I have to add that I was on holiday this and last week. Have to work again soon so that might decrease the number of turns. But I promise to keep the number as high as possible.

Hey no posting unless you already sent in your turn, you tease! [:D]

Russian survivors shouldn't have been a surprise though with almost the entirety of Luftwaffe in Egypt. [;)]

Finding Rocket are slow as molass and, like HQ, can't force march. Operating them cost a ton too. I'll wait until I have a city to siege...

[LLv34Mika]

now that is strange and now I understand what you meant.

I made my turn as usual and thought it is your turn now. Now I checked the game again and it said it is my turn. Then I saw the same review (your declaration of war against Russia, your moves towards Cairo,...) again. Sometimes with bugs too. Like void hexes doing some attacks and things like that.

Then I got intelligence reports... not the same as in the turn before. one Italien battleship was spotted near Rome. I would remember such a big ship. I also got different battle results in my turn now. I tried to do everything the same way. In my first turn my sub made 2 damage to the Bismarck (see above).

The worst thing about that... my first turn was a bit better. But let's see how that evolves. I just hope it is no bug that will have any effect on our game.

I hope now it is really your turn again. If not I should report it to the tech support forum.

[room]

No you probably lost your conection a bit before you ended your turn. It happenned to me too.

[LLv34Mika]

That's rather strange. I'm quiet sure that the server checks if the upload is complete. And it does not mean that I have to make my turn again. It just means that I have to upload my turn again. The other thing is that I did not notice any connection problems today.

Last but not least it should be mentioned that it could affect a game. If that happens in critical situations it could be a game changer. Just imagine an HQ in transport ships running into a sub. You do the turn again but this time you know where you have to be careful.

I think that is no connection problem. Maybe something with the server.

[room]

Well that was just my 2 cents, of course I don't know for sure what happenned [;)]
