No, sorry Shards. HJB lost this game because Vp was -18 in this 21st day.

Ahh! Took a few too many losses then!

Yeah, as the Axis, you can't go giving away your high strength tank units in the early game

Should not be 71 instead of 59 ?

This game has disappeared from my list of games. I think it probably was because KenRichards he has not sent his turn in more than a day and the game is over. But I have not received end-of-game warning mail.This clearly hurt me as I was going to get more points in my favor in the next turns.
Is not it supposed that if a player loses his time he compensates his opponent?

187 turns?? Wow!

The 9-11 score on the scoreboard implies to me that you got to the last day (the 28th?). It looks like Ken got a last-day points victory (there's no draws in Bulge, see the graph above), but it may also have timed out, I'll check.

Either way, for games where both players have put in such a monumental effort (srsly, 187 turns!), then we don't do any points penalising as it's obvious that the game was being playing in a good spirit. This is the same for scott1957 and Rodrc2016 where their game 1 ended in a time out but after 151 turns!

Contrast to Duncanrice and PanzerPat's 2nd game where some points have been moved as it timed out on turn 59 (the current cap is at 100 turns, but I'm reviewing that constantly based on evidence from the games you guys are playing).

Thanks,

No, we were on turn 25 and in play.
And on this turn two units of German cars disappeared with the consequent points for me.
I do not think it would be over for points. Although I can not assure you by not remembering how the punctuation was going.

Hmm, without having the developer to hand to tell me exactly the algorithm for how in-play points are calculated (he's not available until next week). Then I can't really give you any satisfaction I'm afraid! Were you the Axis in this game? Did you win the other game as the Allies?
Thanks

Thx, Scott

My feeling right now is that the game will stand as it is.

I'll ask the developer when he's back in next week about how exactly points are calculated when a game ends mid-turn like that and I'm also going to see whether it's worth extending the play clocks slightly. But at 187 turns, you've obviously both put a lot into the game. And whilst it's obviously frustrating for you to be so near to getting a chunk more VP's and maybe 2 or 3 more tournament points, I don't think it would be truly fair for us to be changing the result of the match.

Thanks,
