I fell asleep on the the train today convinced that a climactic battaille for Rostov was in this works.....scary..... This kind of thing ever happen to you? BTW, I won, the Russians got a 45% victory! Now back to the PBEMs where things are not so rosy.... nor so easy in dreamland....

/laughs! :) Not yet - but it's coming, I'm sure :)

Titanwarrior89 -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/24/2006 1:22:27 AM)
Have not dreamed about it yet but once in awhile I'll think of my next move and it puts me to sleep.[>:] Least you were winning.[:D]

GKar -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/24/2006 1:30:26 AM)
Yes, actually. [X(] Being somewhat behind I answered all of my PBEMs yesterday with some interesting situations present. Then later at night I couldn't stop thinking about the strategic problems and opportunities. Being half-asleep it became worse, my mind mixed up things of the different games and added some fiction. In the end I slept really bad and am tired the whole day... It's worth it though! [&o]

Don't know why I see myself reflected in all posts above. I usually get to sleep by thinking new strategies or the move I'm going to take, but heck I don't sleep bad because of it, lol. I think Tetris get you to dream and day dream with it, when my sister got a gameboy and that was a long time ago, I couldn't take tetris out of my mind, those damn blocks falling and fitting awful, I'd rather dream with AWD and similar strategy games.

The first time that happened to me was with Sim City (1 - of course!) on the Amiga. I played it almost non-stop the first days, and kept "building" my cities while asleep. [:)] Don't worry though: It's not frequent for me, and I learned how to stop when playing too much - I think... [:D]

I had no problem with tetris at all, but AWD is another thing, also it's not just the game it's all the opinions you get to read and write in the forum [:D]

Some people would say "We" probley need counseling.[X(]

It's not that hard for me at the moment though, the university is demanding attention. Wait a minute, I could try to get my tutor to play it... [:D] And no sir, I'm not guilty of looking often in the forum! Not at all! lies again

Enjoy them while they last (carpe diem), 'cause after that it's the real world, oh it has it's advantages too, more money ... less time [8D]

templeton -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/24/2006 12:55:08 PM)
I've had situations where if I play a game too much it invades my sub-conscious... It's only happened with Fallout II, which I was addicted too at university. If I was half-asleep I'd see the game interface, and start to see things in terms of points gained. VERY SAD. Well, at least I'm amongst friends...

Rabbitman -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/24/2006 1:16:54 PM)
I invaded Mongolia, with a unit of Japanese Milita, last turn before bed and went to sleep dreaming of a Japanese version of Dad's Army.

christian brown -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/24/2006 2:18:47 PM)
The fact that I started this thread and did not get tarred and feathered for it is in fact rather problematic...........if you think about it. I've also been known when semi-asleep to (OK, this is actually real, cringe) tell my lady friends they don't have supply for movement and must stop whatever they are doing.

Rabbitman -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/24/2006 3:21:46 PM)
Fallout was great but I have a question about it though. Were the rumours of Dr Who's tardis, just that??(never did find the damn thing[:D]) I so wish I had a copy of fallout 2.[:(] Oh and tonight, I'll probably have nightmares of that damn central med battle............

"I've also been known when semi-asleep to (OK, this is actually real, cringe) tell my lady friends they don't have supply for movement and must stop whatever they are doing." Ok, this is pretty serious ;)

christian brown -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/24/2006 9:03:48 PM)
Yeah, and one time, I told my ex she couldn't get out of bed because, and I quote myself here: "that's an illegal strategic move." No wonder she's divorcing me, lol!

rjh1971 -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/24/2006 11:28:08 PM)

This is just too much, you ought to cut down a bit man. What if you said "chance of succesfully invading 35%" I couldn't help bursting laughing when I read what you said in bed.

GKar -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/24/2006 11:47:52 PM)
Well, as everybody ought to know, it's not allowed to get in (read: invade) and out of a bed in the same turn! [:-] [:D]

YohanTM2 -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/24/2006 11:48:04 PM)
Gotta admit, the answer is no. My main pbem buddy and I were just chatting about this the other day. What we like about AWD is that it is a light game, no slur intended, that is fun to play but no biggie if you make a few mistakes. We relate this to WiF (board version - at least until Steve is done) where you are planning and plotting and reviewing the map between gaming nights. Much more stressful from our viewpoint.

If by "no biggie, you mean the sky doesn't fall, of course you are right; but if you mean that you can "get away with" a few mistakes and win, well then you are, ummm "mistaken." I do understand what you are saying though, usually you do not for example: lose a capital over a trivial error. (But in the case of England and Moscow, the term "trivial" is open to interpretation......[;)])

christian brown -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/25/2006 11:22:05 AM)
All right Templeton, it has to be asked: are you the soldier in the picture? Where are you based? Deployed? I worked at SHAPE/Chievres here in the BENELUX for 7 years............feel free to drop me a PM if you are in the area and we'll have a beer.....even if you are in K-Town or the surrounding area, I'd be happy to pay you a visit.

That may be just me, but I need about an hour to make a solid move in 1941+. And I think about it in advance or later more often than I'd like too... [:o] Sure, there are much more detailed and complicated games on the market, but I like it exactly the way it is. When trying to play well it's even at an upper limit of what I can afford at the moment.

Rabbitman -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/25/2006 2:01:08 PM)
The mistake I make is getting too greedy. I just see territory to invade and do so and it usually comes back and bites me in the arse. I just need to learn to prioritize better and also how to be more patient.(probably the same in my offline life as well[:D])

rjh1971 -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/25/2006 8:31:42 PM)
Rabbitman, did you get the mail I sent you with the link to that yearn game?

quote: Original: GKar That may be just me, but I need about an hour to make a solid move in 1941+. Ditto that, as the game goes on, I seem to take longer thinking what moves should I make, specially while playing the allies.

christian brown -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/26/2006 3:23:34 PM)
By 1945 moving the WA to take down Japan becomes a total light Col's staff work session.......I play extremely fast but in this situation, yep, I'm diddling for about an hour.....this also happens to me when I play the Axis anytime after Barbarossa/PH.

rjh1971 -> RE: Ever dream about AWD? (11/26/2006 4:06:20 PM)
Oh yeah the Axis take time to move, but only if they are on the winning run, if you're on the defensive with them, doesn't take so long, unlike the WA which even losing take time to make the turn.
