Sorry to hear your ending the game and league. Marti can be really frustrating–which is why I prefer to low luck. LL does not eliminate bad luck, but it does eliminate really crazy outcomes.

A sub off Egypt, an arty in Alexandria, and 2 IPC’s to the Soviets

Bump.

thanks for the game!

yeah, damn dude, I’m sorry, no one deserves to suffer a -75 dice score…I knew when I moved there it was a risk that could go horribly wrong if you smacked me back-to-back…

do you want to keep playing this out?

if not, are you up for a rematch?

let me know, thanks

It’s OK!  Nice of you to say that though
I don’t normally turn down a challenge - only when I’m too busy, which I won’t be soon

@cds:

No fun in chasing my tail the whole game, ending it here because it probably will not change soon.

it was a good game CDS. thanks

Destroyers in 91 and 106
Sub in 98

Good game Aequitas.

It was a lot of fun.  I agree early on I was trying to find a foothold and keep from dropping too much either way.  I still have no luck with holding Russia, or even maintaining a presence after they fall as some do.  By 11, yeah I think I had a stable position with a stable reinforcement to Europe from America that would have cost a lot to break up.  Europe is definitely the harder side of the board for me it seems.  I usually end up losing Egypt even if I clear out Asia…

Thank you very much for the game.

Sincerely,
Snigg

Oh, very unlucky for you =(
I feel sorry, truly!

Want a rematch?

Sounds good, thanks for the game as well!

I definitely will take the bait if there are 4-10 Russians left within reach of Japan.  Eliminating that many guys prevents effective counterattacks as Japan slowly pushes west.  With this scenario, it is tough for Japan to win in the Pacific, but the J1 attack on Russia will reduce the number of Russian soldiers in Moscow by a dozen or more when Germany inevitably pushes there.  3-8 IPC of lost income per turn for six rounds is a major game changer.

Sure thing I’ll set up the game tomorrow morning.

thanks, good game to you too, it was a pretty cool strategy to see tried…if you had had a German destroyer it would’ve made things pretty interesting down there since my sub was able to stop your transports for a turn…let me know if you want to rematch

Wayne is back in the Hosp. for C.O.P.D… He should be out in a few days maybe by the end of the weekend

ill post it gg

@Adam514:

It’s pretty greedy, but with other cautious UK moves (buying the rest out of London, not scrambling, etc) I wouldn’t sealion. Is sealion viable if UK is cautious apart from the fac buy? Probably not, which might be a small problem.

Yah, i agree that its probably not viable right now, under that scenario (unless, perhaps, the tranny in 106 died, and UK trantoes)

gg dudes. was fun to watch.

sure, thanks
