Rambo, good idea
Allies move, surround Paris with the last of our troops. Brits stuck on the elbow hex with an army. Also Brits close to Copenhagen, but its too little too late. I held out until June. Maybe two more turns I hope.
Because in my game where I am allies I just got lucky and broke through along the coast as the allies didnt set up there line in good order. I think he thought I was going to break through the French Arden and instead broke through along the coast and now have reached Paris myself. All of a sudden I have gone from out of the match to a close match again.

Things look bad, my worst game so far in the tournament. Should have stuck to my usual strategy in defending France.
I pull the line back trying to hold out a few more turns.
Cry cry cry...............

Turn 14 Allies:
I'm trying something new in this game and I think I like my old strategy better.
The allies again strike back and hit the German Armor that is out in front. Kill it. But our line is very weak and I dont think it can hold out much longer. If this were a real game I would be glad at the German units that I have killed off, but in the battle of France it doesnt hurt the German nearly as bad as it doesnt matter what he has left once Paris falls.

The luck turns and the French lines holds. It survives a mighty German attack of Armies and Lufftwaffe with one French army at 1 and another French army at a 5. They survive to fight another day. The Allies dont counter attack but have to reinforce there weak lines.

Do we have any idea of what Tech will look like in SC2. This is a good idea that JJ has.
also I would like to see a cap for tech in the editor so you could cap the highest level at whatever you wished. Also increase the catch up bonus and you may not have games where tech is the deciding factor.

My observations on Tech.
I am not as good as Rambo, Dragon or Kuni but I do play a lot. Just look at the pbem league to see the many games I have there.
1. Tech is luck. It's all statistics and dice rolls. Therefore this will bring into a game the luck factor, sometimes it will be small, but sometimes it will mean the luck factor will be very large. Against two even players it can easily decide a game. This is a big negative. However, it also levels the playing field for the lesser player if they get "lucky" with tech. I am in a couple of games now and I am in 1943 and my axis still has no advance in Jets, what a bummer, its keeping my enemy in the game.
2. In my mind the simply solution would be for Mr. C. (Hubert) to keep tech in the game but first, make it more expensive to invest in it and second cap it at a lower level like level-3 or even level-2. Have in the game editor a cap function where you can cap the level of increase at what you would like. Keep the "Superweapons" out of the game. They really are not realistic anyway. Also increase the "catch up" bonus dramatically so the other player will have a great great chance to catch up in tech. What I think this would do is if a player got say Level 3 jets, he would only have that tech advatage for a few turns if the other player was willing to invest also in that tech.
Just some thoughts.

Do we know what Tech will look like in SC2?
???

Turn 8:
Yes bleak days for the allies as the Axis march through the streets of Copenhagen.
The allies strike back using a new strategy just learned on the battlefront forum. They attack a German army and finish it off by landing an allied army from the coast. One German army down at least.

Here is an updated mail list of league members. If you want a game just email the list or a part of the list and ask away. There are all types of different players from excellent to newbies. Just say what type of game you are looking for.

Things looking bad for the allies, Denmark will fall next turn. Line holding on the western front but weakened. The only good news is both subs found, one sunk one heavily damaged.
I think I will go for a swim in the pool myself, since I live in southwest Florida any time is a good time for a swim and its getting hot. Perhaps it will take my mind away from this terrible start.

Time to go watch the Lighting play the Flyers in the NHL semi-finals. Good game to both of you and go Tamba Bay Lightning.
-
I do too Rambo, just having a little fun and trying give those helping vibes to Dragon.
But Rambo is like the old Vince Lombardi teams, they could easily lose a regular season game, but in the playoffs they were the best and at their best.
Its like Zapp said,
I pick Rambo to win. When he has something to prove, he is a bad ass SC player.

Dragonheart, we emailed a quick request for a blessing upon your Russian Tech to the top of the Himalayans and the Tibetan Monks. Keep fighting the good fight!

I agree on everything Arngrim said, except that I have not got any smokes
Trying to lose some weight.No smokes here :cool: Trying to live longer
Zapp give us your "Report from another heavy weight player" on how you think this game is going".
I thought Rambo went out into the early lead, but that Dragonheart has come back nicely, but those German carriers seem powerful.

Great heavyweight fight. Great reading.

OUCH!!!, I see what Rannug faced with those lucky dice rolls. A very bad start indeed for the allies.
They do manage to strike back and destroy the German Corps that was not in the line, but they are also now weaken and about to get hit hard.
The allies in a sad retreat

Semifinals in the Battle of France.
BRACKET A
Curry verses Kossuth (Curry wins)
Wehrmacht verses Alexander (Alexander wins)
Curry defeats Alexander
BRACKET B
Yaggmoth verses Sanmayn (Yaggmoth wins)
Sandy verses Rannug (Runnug wins)
Yaggmoth defeats Rannug.
In this game of our two games its Yaggmoth as the dark tide or the Axis. Curry as the light and hope of the world as the Allies. Whoever gets to Paris first wins.
The Axis invades Poland and Denmark. Both Armor units remain to help destory Poland.

Oh forget it...
Perhaps will try again later to get a bracket. In the meantime we will just have to use what I have above.

Early SportsOdds out of Vegas has this best 2 out of 3 match as even with 1-1 odds.
Place your bets here and pick who you think will win and in how many games.
My pick - Dragon in 3. Rambo has the experience in his favor. But he is coming off of burnout which is a concern for the pro-Ramboites. Dragon on the other hand is slow in playing but its only because he is so careful and his careful play should be able to weather the famous Rambo-RACK strategy.
It will be most interesting to see what the bids go for and who wants Axis bad enough. I expect the bids to be high as only the heavy-weights can bid.

Dragon, on Rambo, I believe most likely he just changed his name. I am thinking that you can do that in this ladder.

Nope, tried to make a bracket. Didnt work. How did you do yours Dragon?

See if this works

AAR BattleofFrance semifinals Curry Vs Yaggmoth
in Strategic Command 1
Posted
Paris will fall in the next turn for me as allies. Held out till July.
I resigned in the other game. Some incredible die rolls killed off my army and two corps and is too big of a set back to overcome.
Match to Yaggmoth who advances to finals.
