@robson hopefully the actual Italians will be a tad bit nicer to the Allies when they land in July!
@Robson Hi Robson, just checking in to see how things are going. No pressure as you’ve mentioned how busy you have been. I have as well…
Hey Kilroynothere, my apologies for being late once more. Just a lot going on at the moment. Had the chance tonight to check our game. It is really interesting
@robson No worries whatsoever. And yeah… like the super aggressive Germany! Making UK/US have to dance! fun.
@robson UKP turn 4… getting interesting in the Pacific as well. triplea_37995_4UKP.tsvg

Hey Kilroy, took a while, but here we are.
@robson sorry for my delay, I was out of town this weekend. This game is fascinating! I like that we are on round 4 and I still have no idea exactly what is going on.

No worries. I will be off from today until Saturday. It is extremly difficult to secure the med as the italians but I hope I can hold my ground :-) triplea_37995_4it.tsvg
@robson Yeah, Italy is under some pressure, but they tend to hold on for a long, long time even with a lot of Allied attention. Tough nut to crack. Plus, the German navy is a beast! Enjoy the time away.
@Robson Sorry for this delay. Ended up getting in a car wreck (nothing major and no injuries), but enough that my 2012 Audi was considered “totaled” so am having to navigate this through insurance, and getting a new car. Eating up my time. Think I have it all figured out so hopefully will have something back to you here soon.
@robson Very sorry for the delay. What an interesting game! I think all the players except for Russia is in a very different stance than I may have ever seen. Fun!

triplea_37995_5ger.tsvg Hey Kilroy no problem. Actually my wife and me got Covid and we are sick since more then a week. Meanwhile I can at least focus enough for 10-15 minutes before brain fog kicks in again.
@robson sorry to hear you guys got ill. Hope your recovery is swift. I know a few friends have had lingering coughs weeks afterward.
We have been busy getting ready to go on our Italy trip and my wife just had food poisoning and we had to go to the doctor. Better than an appendix issue we were fearful of. So, I have been distracted the last week in preparation for leaving. We leave tomorrow, but I have finished UKP. If you happen to finish Japan today, I know generally what I want to do with UK, so should be able to get that done today if you have time. If not, then we can catch up in a few weeks.
Oh, and I love the aggressive Germany! Definitely messing with my plans! triplea_37995_5ukp.tsvg
Hey Kilroy, thanks we are getting better and better every day. Stil Covid keeps you very tired and exhausted from light work.
I hope you guys have an amazing and safe trip. Looking forward to your safe return home and the progress of the game. I try to be very aggressive with Japan too but your US fleet keeps me buys.triplea_37995_5jap.tsvg
@robson Just got back to the US. What a great trip to Italy! Now of course, I want to move there… Maybe someday. Glad to hear you and your family are getting better and I definitely have heard of the lingering effects of the virus. Hopefully you are nearing 100% now. I’ll take a look and get my move in as soon as I can. And I think that Japan is incredibly difficult to play in this new variant. That’s a good thing as I always found Japan just ran away with it in the original. I like your playing of Japan so far. Keeping US engaged and UKP from expanding.
@Robson sorry for the delay this week. Trying to get back into work mode and catch up after my break. Not so easy!
So, loving the aggressive Germany against UK/US. I’ve always thought an aggressive German navy is the key to victory for the Axis. It’s allowed Italy to recover and keep a LOT of US attention and all of UK attention toward Germany. Oh, and the Scots are pissed off! Loving this game. Way out of the box.
@robson said in Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods:
first post
@kilroynothere Hey Kilroy, sorry that I am late once more. Will continue the game tomorrow.
@robson No worries. As always, I completely understand. There are times when I simply cannot carve out the time to make a move. I did get some A&A in this weekend. Friend of mine was in town and we played Guadacanal. I bought it years ago and never played. A LOT of fun. Built for 2 players and you can finish off a game in 3-4 hours.
