Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
Cudos to joe Rock, its nice to see that even with a lightning Blitz by the germans, they are still ultimatly doomed.
This will be over in 44 or 45 with an allied victory.
Another good example of the hopeless chances for Germany to really win the war with a barbarossa, unless you switch to the defensive at the right moment.
Moriss, are you builfing up a human wall in Germany, basically filling the german fatherland with troops?

Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
I agree the Kudos to Joe . He deserve it . But How could you predict an allies victory for such confidence ? Even if the player of this pbem (Joe & me) still don't know what will be the last result , How could you do it ? If you did gamble ,it is ok . You can bet as Plaid & Duncan . Maybe you will vote 100/0 & bet on Joe . It is your right . But please don't be over confident just by learning the limited message from the AAR's screenshots .supermax wrote:Cudos to joe Rock, its nice to see that even with a lightning Blitz by the germans, they are still ultimatly doomed.

i know you dont like to officially loose, but you should have a close look at your situation, its hopeless, especially with an elite player like Joe. Maybee you could describe how you plan to stop him? I would be very curious how you are going to do that.
And... I think i will refrain from commenting in your AAR in the future LOL it touches too many sensible spots with you. LOL
Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
In Max's defense, there are lots of people here who aren't the best spellers or typers. I have to bite my tongue every time I see "Lybia" in the forums here, as the proper English spelling is "Libya." I wouldn't take offense (or offence either!) if people occasionally mistype your name. I'm sure that it's unintentional and not meant to offend you.

Exactly, thank you Clark for this...Clark wrote:In Max's defense, there are lots of people here who aren't the best spellers or typers.

Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
This game is progressing exactly as I thought. Joerock is a very good player and he doesn't attack until he means it. Crushing a playere like Joe with the Axis seems almost impossible. He knows when to retreat and when to fight.
When you see how Morris is mauling other Allied players with his strategy I think there is not anything wrong with his strategy. It's just that Joe is extremely good. He's the only one who has beaten me and I guess Joe is one of the few players Supermax fears can beat him regardless of side.
So Morris hasn't done anything stupid in this game. He has just met one of the best GS players out there. That Morris almost got to Omsk against Joe shows that Morris is very good too.
I only managed to get to Voronezh against Joe.

I just want him to correct his mistake of spelling my name . If it happened occasionally by mistype ,of course I wouldn't do it . But If you check his posts with my name , He made this spelling mistake for more than 68 times ( I just count one time , maybe much more ). Is this number big enough for me to asking him to correct this mistake ? I thought maybe he doesn't know my acurate name spelling . So I point it out . I do know Max did not mean to offend me . He can offend & beat me on the battleground !

1 Regarding to the officially loose , I just surrender to Duncan on our last AAR . We both enjoyed it very much . I quite don't understand why you said " I don't like offically loose ." What do you really mean ?
2 Please do any conclusion by precise analysis & to be objective .
3 To comment on my AAR is your right & it always welcome you to comment . But you also need to get used to the comments against yours . If you feel bad for this , you can keep silence as you wish . We will do respect your choice .
Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
I'm still convinced that Morris will easily win this game. As he is not showing us his defensive line in Germany, I expect a four to five hex deep defensive line of German units. As it is already October 1943 the Allies will not be able to reach Berlin in time. Of course I could be wrong, but it seems obvious that Morris is preparing something as only Italian and minor Axis units are used to defend against the advancing Red Horde and the Allies in the west according to the last few screenshots and we did not get the chance to look at central Europe for a long time 

Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
Thanks for your trust ! Actually , I think it will be a close game for both Axis & Allies . As what had mentioned before that If this game played by two equal level experienced player ,It should be a close game for a minor victory for one side . The victory should be belong to the one made fewer mistakes . I made a mistake of losing Finland in 1941 , & Joe seems had no big mistakes . So I think the possibility of the final result is 50/50 .( if Joe will make mistakes )zechi wrote:I'm still convinced that Morris will easily win this game.

Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
I see that tensions are running a bit high between two of our most elite and best players. This is understandable; but let's please keep away from any personal comments. I have so much respect for the both of you that I would hate to see either make a comment in the heat of the moment that they might later regret. Not that anything has been posted so far that would sink to that level. I just want to make sure that we keep it that way.

Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
Just in case you want to sort your issues out in the old fashioned way, remember to take SCs and make an AAR out of it

The answer is, of course, "yes!".
Though, I guess it could be a draw; but I'm sticking with "yes".

Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
Dont worry for me, appart from mispelling the name and having comments on the strategy, i should think i will keep it to a civilized level.rkr1958 wrote:I see that tensions are running a bit high between two of our most elite and best players.

Besides, i did apologize a while back anyway...

I will from now refrain from commenting on my dear Morris, it seems to put oil on the fire.

Mmmm i think i will root for Joe in this one, lets just hope Morris will play it to the end.
No offense, of course.

I garantee a victory every time i play against Morris.
That said i cannot seem to be able to finish my games against him... Dont you guys think that's a bummer?

Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
No problem . I will & always play each pbem to the end unless I or he surrender . There were several pbems my oppoent quit without any reason . Only the ones with you did not play to the end because of the well known reason .supermax wrote:rkr1958 wrote:I see that tensions are running a bit high between two of our most elite and best players.

Regarding to your advice , I will try to obey it . But As our Chairman Mao said : Tit for tat is fair play !
Re: Morris vs Joe Rock
Nov 19th 1943
In the east , finally the weather turn mud ,USSR slow down a little bit but still not far from Polland .
In med , weather also turn mud . Allies finally launched attack to Sicily & destroy my head Mech without any difficult . It seems Italy will come to the end within several turns .
In the east , Allies troops stop & take rest . We 'd happy to see that .

Dec 9th 1943 winter
In the east Russians arrived Polland . In the south they arrive Romania .
In Med , another Mech badly damaged , I will lost it next turn ,even if I supply it . I deploy a defence general on the para & do hope him to perform as well as para's legend in Montecasino in 1944 .
In the west , they still rest & wait for spring .
