Bummer. No final hurrah with the Japanese Fleet.

Good Game! I made it 15 rounds without losing a capital, but never got my feet on the ground. I needed one more round early in the game to engage Germany, but you played J very well and forced my hands. Never recovered.

[trulpen]

Good game! I was preparing to take down Moscow in two turns, but it’s further into the game than necessary. Somehow I’m not so efficient when attacking.

[trulpen]

I’d be happy to play another with you. If you agree, do you prefer same or switch sides or new bid?

[surfer]

@trulpen Ok. But I’m not sure what I’d like to try. I would hope you’d agree the previous bid of 20 was almost right, but perhaps I can get a “handicap” of 6 pts.
And the options would be:

a) redo with a few more bid points
b) try the Axis with Allies getting a few less…

[trulpen]

You are a good player, so 6 IPC might be a tad too much. How about half that? I get 17 if you choose Axis and you get 23 with the Allies, so the difference would actually be 6. Sounds interesting enough?

[surfer]

It does. I’ll choose b. I’d like to see you as the Allies and see what I’m missing.
Where would you like your $17 spent? Or just start the game yourself…

Cheers!

[trulpen]

Sounds good. I’ll set it up.
