Sheeeeeeeeeeeeshhhhhhhhhh, finally sent the turn to K62 just about an hour ago. Feels like I gave birth. Hopefully K62 doesn't do another number on me turn 2 [>:] Turn 1 was hell, and no pocket failed at all. If you are having issues with leaky pockets then you need lessons from K62. I am selling tickets so get them while they are on sale.

Since we are playing with a delay the updates for turn 1 will come turn 3. I hope I remember that far in the future [8|]

Update;

K62 and myself are slow turn players and we are currently on turn 3. Once turn 4 arrives I will update my AAR. Also of note is that K62 will be doing an AAR which I will post a link to once that comes online. I believe he said he would but I am not 100% for certain if he could chime in and confirm or deny that .

This game should be VERY interesting since K62 is playing a very good game so far from where I am sitting and I knowing the German very well at the beginning of the game I could be in trouble.

Holy COW!!!! I just noticed my last post on this AAR was a month ago. Yeah, we are very slow turn takers for sure! LOL

I am sure many would like to see how K62 did his 6,000+ Soviet planes destroyed of mine??? Raise your hand if you want to see so K62 knows how many are wanting the secrets.

Micromanagement is fun! One day I may graduate to WitP

The forums be like Gimli says in this clip

But since it feels to me the forum is pretty much a graveyard now I figured I will be talking to the gravestones. I will pick up on turn 1 I did so many months ago later this afternoon or tomorrow my schedule dictating. Just in case there is some life out there still.

Well I am keen to read up on games, I check to see if there is any changes.

I have been following both this game and the other one you have going.

I post some feedback on threads but i consider myself a amateur and would rather read what the veterans have to say

Still reading also - I imagine that once you start posting turns there might be a bit more interaction from readers.

When I posted that not many people were posting and everytime I had checked it was the same old posts. That is why I said what I said.

As for my game with Zovs that game is "over". So this game is all that I can handle with an AAR, my work load at work, and things to get done around the house. I just put in new floors in the whole house, now building a 16 x20 work shed in the back yard, and then building my 20 x 20 Greenhouse after that I do have to thank K62 for being super understanding since this AAR will not stop nor will I leave the game, unless K62 achieves Auto-Victory since he is moving fast. K62 has turn 5 now.

Thank you for everything

Yes, I am sure of it. Just seemed like the forum was dead. Haven't seen WITE(x) forums this dead before. But maybe it is just me.

Thank you as always Sammy5IsAlive!

Nice! Glad to have you! I really do love everyone.

Another locker here, enjoying your posts HLYA. Thanks

This 3 turn delay kicks my azz when I go to write things Sheesh, I have hard enough time remembering my zipper is zipped on my trousers least of all trying to remember what happened 4 turns ago is going to be difficult :- ( But gotta try.

Anyway, A few things first;

1. I DON'T use spreadsheets. Yup, people that have followed me from WITE1 know that I don't use spreadsheets and I continue that here. To me it is like having sex with multiple rubbers on. You are doing it but you don't get the immersion or the "real" feel but instead with all the crutches in place for tracking everything. If I have to do a spreadsheet to enjoy this game I might as well not play and have sex instead.

2. Again, another item about me that people that have followed me from WITE1 know but others may not. I rarely if ever read the manual(Any game for that matter) Again, I am looking for the immersion in the game & figuring it out on my own. If I can figure the game out without reading the rules then that is a testament to how well the design and implementation of the game has done in implementing the system. That is why you will see in many of my posts that I say, "if I read the manual it would probably make me a better player". (Not to mention some people making fun of me thinking I know the manual but I don't since I have never read more than 10-15% of that door stop. (You would think people would be kinder in the world, I will pray for them)) Again, a testament to the game modeling (or just my knowledge transfer from WITE1) This is why I NEVER EVER EVER say I am an expert, I am not. If you think or have said I am then you are "WRONG" & have always said so. There are others far better than me in the knowledge arena & game play. But I can hold my own against anyone even me not knowing every caveat of the door-stop Manual or idiosyncrasies that arise.

Damn the Torpedoes full speed again, OH! Wrong war.... Anyway now to the AAR.

GREAT! Love everyone & love having ya. We will be in for some punishment for sure as a Soviet since K62 is showing very promising mettle in our game. Again, this one goes all the way win or lose.

K62 has the German side write-up for the opposing side to this AAR. If you want the German perspective of what is happening please visit K62's fine AAR here:

Sticking with tradition in my format here is the weather! (of course we all know what it is but isn't it funny to just post it anyway? )

Great to see you back posting! And even better to hear that this is shaping up to be a competitive game that could have legs. Super looking forwards to seeing what kind of havoc K62 has go up to in his first few turns and how you deal with it! I'm sure that before long you'll have your pixel-troops whipped into shape :p !

Turn 1

Events!!!!

Same for Events, or is it?



Yeah it is, made you look!
