All right, all right.  Mercy!    :-D

Good game.  I’ll post the result.

[farmboy]

Yes, it was fun. My luck early with the dice made a significant difference I think too. Thanks for the game!

If you want a rematch and to switch sides, just let me know. I can’t start right away but should be able to in a few days.

Sure.  Let me know when you’re ready to go.  I might want a re-match with the same sides, though.  You’re a tier E opponent, but I didn’t get a chance to observe or learn much from playing against you since I got kind of handicapped right from G1.  I’m hoping for a closer one next time.  :-P

Let me know.

[farmboy]

That is fine too. I actually prefer playing the allies in any case.

Also, while I’ve managed to get into tier E, its a relatively small sample of games I’ve played so far. I wouldn’t be surprised if I drop a ranking after a few more games.
I don’t think I have been more lucky than my opponents overall but I have been more lucky when it mattered more. Even in this game, I think our luck came close to evening out but I was lucky when it mattered more (G1 and then that last battle for Normandy).

[StuckTojo]

Sounds good.  PM me when you’re ready.  :-)

I know what you mean.  During that one round I had about 8 battles with Germany.  The first 7 I won without taking a single casualty.  I couldn’t believe my good fortune.  Then Normandy came along and I had terrible luck.  It was such a pivotal battle, though, that the game was over pretty much over right there.  Oh well.  :lol:
