Hello Tony,

Ok, if I have a choice and if it's ok for you, I'd rather choose Monday at 16h00.

This is more convenient for me, would that be ok for you ?

Best regards,
Yann

Yann,

That is fine, will see you Monday the 26th at 16h00 your time.

Ok thank you Tony, see you Monday and have a nice week-end !

Un match assez frustrant aujourd'hui pour ma part, dû à un gros manque de réussite aux dés, surtout dans les moments cruciaux où je pouvais éliminer des unités et prendre des médailles.

Sur le premier match, avec pourtant un score très correct de 54% de réussite, mon adversaire montait à 67 % ! Je n'avais encore jamais vu ça pour ma part...
Ce qui fait qu'en partant fort, avec de bonnes cartes qui me permettaient de pousser mon centre pendant plusieurs tours et de mener 3 médailles à 1, je ne parvenais jamais à éliminer ses unités, même lorsqu'il ne restait qu'un fantassin. Il m'a donc roulé dessus pour finir à 7 - 3.

La deuxième était plus équilibrée en terme de pourcentage, mais il m'a fallu pas moins de 68 jets de dés pour parvenir à prendre les sept médailles !! Cela m'a été fatal car Gonzalan a pu en prendre 5 pendant ce très long deuxième match.

Victoire donc de Gonzalan, que je remercie pour cette partie très atypique même si frustrante effectivement, cela sera une bonne expérience pour moi. Et surtout merci pour son grand fair-play et sa sympathie qui m'ont néanmoins permis de prendre du plaisir dans cette partie !
Bonne chance pour la suite en tout cas, et bravo pour cette victoire. Tu as su parfaitement exploiter les forces et gérer les faiblesses qui se sont présentées tout le long de ces deux matchs, plein de rebondissements !

Les résultats:

Mr Miniatures (Alliés) / gonzalan (Axe) = 3-7 / 20-30
Mr Miniatures (Axe) / gonzalan (Alliés) = 7-5 / 33-27
Total de médailles: Mr Miniatures = 10 / gonzalan= 12

I confirm the results as does the screen shot.  

An enjoyable match with M M and can understand his frustration in the 1st game, 16 turns and not the outcome he should have gotten.  I shot 30-45, 67% to his 20-37, 54%, good, but mine was crazy good.

He had a well executed CENTER attack, ALL, 3 center, INF ASLT, INF ASLT, 2-2-2 and 1-1-1, just had some timely misses, 3 dice on a 1 fig and think on the 1-1-1 was blinded by his frustration, could have fired 2 die at the same 1 fig INF and instead attacked a 2 fig in the jungle and maybe that kill makes a difference.

In close assault, I had turns and hits on a 5-7 kill, 3-3 kill, 7-8 major damage, 9-11, one a 4-4 kill and 2 more kills, 3-6 kill and draw AMBUSH, 2 hits and flag, perfect roll on  his next attack, BEL and then finish with 4-5 for the last kill.  Though he shot 54%, my 67% was just too much and his misses hurt him.

2nd game, 34 turns, much longer and I managed to get the 4th kill and secure the match, but he played well and once again had some bad rolls and misses that might have helped him get a better result, one was a 5 die roll on a 1 fig and I barely managed to get the 4th medal on a BARRAGE on a 1 fig with no retreat on the beach, luckily a flag and then a 5th medal and M M was patient and moved up and got the win for 1 pt.

Crowded at the top and maybe TC can inflict a loss on our runaway leader in Drexxer and keep him closer and would be 7 or 8 of us near the top from 8 pts to 11 pts and then Drexxer with whatever he ends up with after 4 matches and the 5th to come.

Good luck to Monsieur Miniatures the rest of the way and great attitude and fair play despite his frustrations of the 1st game. A pleasure meeting and playing M M / Yann for the 1st time.

Gonzalan

What a very detailed summary Tony !

As I said, very frustrating dices ad the bad moments for me, but this is Memoir' 44, so this is part of that game and I know that.
The most important thing for me was to have the opportunity to play with a really good opponent and his excellent fair-play !

So, a pleasure for me meeting you as well, and good luck for the rest of that tournament !
