dageraad Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 New map: - I hope the new coloring of Western Europe makes sense, as there are some TA links crossing the line. - Lots of offensives in the Balkan-Scandinavian war. Hungary has reached the Baltic Sea. Norway has reached Czechoslovakia. - The USA will probably only last for another few turns. - Morocco has expanded its bridgehead in Italy, doing substantial damage to the Italian economy. Italy has a lot of economy to damage. - Iceland and Great Britain: Ships, aricraft, boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erich von Manstein Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Norwegian mythology is about to be rewritten. Anyone familiair with Thor and his hammer? Soon to be known as Thor's anvil. The hammering vill be done by Austria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dageraad Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 When a hammer hits an anvil both hammer and anvil usually do not suffer from it. The object In between, however, doees That would be czechoslovakia? I did not know that austria and czechoslovakia were at war... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saint Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I guess italy is wondering at this moment if it's the anvil or the hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dageraad Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Sure, Peace has been declared between Denmark and Germany, so maybe you can take back your position back. Bornholm is still Danish, so what's keeping you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erich von Manstein Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Well we now know who was the hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke of York Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Well we now know who was the hammer. Correction; YOU know who was the hammer (for this round). However, due to your delaying crap I don't. Losing armies on the field of battle is all part of the game. You take some risk (or the game utterly stagnates, I've had too much of that in V87 already) and sometimes you win, sometimes you loose. But the delaying meta-game is utterly and totally fun-destroying and the major cause I'm unlikely to start a new Victory game ever. Unless in Victory II battle results are send to the defender as soon as the battle happens (in a mini-turn). Then I might reconsider. In the PBM age this wasn't feasible, but now it should be possible to automate this. And it would solve the problems for solo and duo players nicely too.

dageraad Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Like almost all games of this kind Victory has its exploits that people make use of. Delaying a turn to get a better shot at an emeny is one such a tactic. The use of CL to isolate an opponent is another one, one that has contributed grealy to the demise of the USA in this game. The least we should do is make a list of it and publish it, so everyone knows which unexpected tricks can be used against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I consider those moves part of the Vic! rules and not exploits / tricks. Legit tactics that every decent Vic!-player I encountered uses. That includes your block. I agree with you that it is good to know them beforehand thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The result would have been very different if I hadn't locked down those 18 divisions of armour and mech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
