@panzerstahl-helm-0 Thanks Panzer. Yes, we can start a game whenever you want. I honestly would need a little tutorial in how to get it started. Is it something as simple as I can just post a new topic and then send you my G1 via Play by Email?? If so, then yes I can send you my G1 in next couple of days. As for your victory, I think my downfall started when you knocked out ANZAC. Japan knocking out ANZAC is not a killing blow by itself but since I was completely unprepared for it with your brilliant disguising of your intentions, it happened without me having any plan to counter it 😞 Then you introduced me to the "Gibraltar stack" which was new to me also. In any case, congrats again on kicking my fanny.

@wc_sumpton

Boxes seems like AA50 and Mega Global lol

@trout

yea no need to go to big on the report. I always do 🙂 I'd try and use The Captain's as a guide.

Don't worry too much about pictures. There is a small < > upper right where you can go full screen. Select a certain area you can tune out the History or just bomb the entire screen in.

I usually zoom out to get a bigger picture. The save game has all the info but most won't want to fire it up unless they're real interested.

Anyway, be a couple days probably. Need to fix a couple things and update the Notes again.

Fun game 🙂

Yes, I am playing so many that I sometimes forget where I need to do my turn.

Yep. I can relate to this. Thank you for rolling for tech and taking the game this far. Yes, some of your moves shocked me but I can see with a bit warmer dice rolls - things could have gone differently.

GOOD GAME!

@victoryfirst said in TGC (Allies) vs VF (German) D-day with Balance:

@the_good_captain Thank you so much for your comments. I can fully agree with you about the "feeling a prisoner of what I know". I respect you a lot for your experience and your sheer knowledge on several A&A versions. Usually I think twice before disagreeing with you.

The last thing I ever want to be is anything close to Andrew. I embrace disagreement from everyone but especially from players with decent resumes like yourself.

So please don't think twice before disagreeing with me. I don't want to miss any opportunity to improve. As they say, "light comes from heat."

Andrew is a special case of player that comes off as 'having all the right answers' and needs no improvement - and I just don't have the time for 'one way' conversation. So he is an exception for that reason.

That's a lot!!

@victoryfirst

Trying to gear up to finish the report and just realized JPN should've activated there Home Defens. Got 2 free dudes D3 1st rd .

I would've changed attack though and think I'd still get it. Of course you would've done things different too 🙂

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it. I used to have them auto deploy but changed it, as it's discretionary as when the defender wants to use it.

Maybe I can make a notification for when enemy units hit the Homeland ? User action ? Could auto place then but I don't think that'd work because shit placed at start of combat will show up but not fight.

Anyway, I'll dick with it for next update
