If you attack Spain with USA please ask for OOL.

@andrewaagamer

LOL, do I even have a chance?

Do I even have a chance if I don’t?

[AndrewAAGamer]

Well, in the normal course of events, in my opinion, no you don’t have a chance. The Axis is collecting more money, has the initiative and has centralized position. Soon, for the Allies, it will be a choice of holding India or the Caucasus which will just increase the money issue once I take one or the other. The Allies are not pressing the Axis anywhere on the board and are in a stalemate or retreating everywhere.

Having said that “normal” is the key word. Maybe I will make a blunder you can take advantage of. After all, I have already made two stupid non-combat gaffs that either could have, and almost did, cost me the game. Or maybe, you will get one of those 1% results in a major battle. Anything is possible.

Under normal circumstances it is over, but normal doesn’t always happen.

Sorry, I’ve been MIA… one my legal cases blew up and I was working all weekend…

Anyway, yeah that is a fair assessment.

Let’s see if I can blow something open here

[Karl7]

@karl7

ok, you got 100% on fleet and Caucasus army… LOL

On that fact, I will throw in the towel.

Hard fought!

rematch same conditions?

[AndrewAAGamer]

@karl7 Thank you for the game! I agree, it was hard fought. Twice after my blunders I thought I was going to lose. However, on one the dice bailed me out and you also made a blunder to even things up and get me back into the game.

Please post the loss.

I am happy to play again under the same conditions. Send me your placement and I will start the game.

[Karl7]

[AndrewAAGamer]

@karl7 Nope, my fault. I was on vacation for two weeks in early November and playing catch up at work. Should be able to start up in about two weeks.

[Karl7]
