L22 #3 trulpen (X) vs farmboy (A+17) BM4

[farmboy]

@trulpen what is the plan here?

[trulpen]

I’m surely losing, not being able to take Norway back or crush Russia.

[farmboy]

@trulpen I think you are right. Germany had a rough start and it is hard to come back from that. You got the extra NOs but probably too late to change the direction of the game in Europe. Japan was doing better but it hasn’t gotten India and the US can now really outspend it.

If you want to keep trying, I’m happy to play it out more. But I wanted to see your plan re conceding or continuing.

[trulpen]

Considering to resign.

[trulpen]

Thought it was good, but better to know now that sinking the UKN with luftwaffe is a trap.

[farmboy]

@trulpen yeah. It’s a more risky move, especially at that moment in the game where you haven’t pushed past Rostov.

Maybe you have something to try with Japan still? A couple of turns ago I thought you were going to try to take India with Germany and grab Hawaii or Sidney with Japan. I think that option is closed but Japan is still in somewhat better shape so maybe could try something.

On the plus side, you have a window here where a loss to me is worth 6 points since I would move up a ranking and our previous games week be worth more too

[farmboy]

@farmboy I’d like to get this one resolved or moving again.

[trulpen]

I understand that. Will try to look at it again today.

[trulpen]

Sorry, spent 7 h in the emergency yesterday. Got blood clots in my lungs.

[farmboy]

@trulpen sorry to hear! Take care of yourself and I hope you feel better soon.

[trulpen]

Sorry man, I’ve wanted to get something moving here, but have kind of been occupied with either dying or recovering. Think it’s the latter and looks and feels better now.

It might be a complex situation in our game or it might be very simple. I’m still not sure which. Perhaps the most fair thing to do is to just resign and end it, but some part of me still seek the struggle.

Anyway, mainly just wanted to give you a heads up about this and that I will do my best to carry it forward to conclusion.

[farmboy]

@trulpen Glad to hear that you doing better. Its certainly fine to continue the game. If our situations were reversed, I probably wouldn’t be quite ready to throw in the towel yet either. I’d want to see another turn at least. But I’m just hoping that once you are able to play regularly again, you will also be playing this one.

[farmboy]

@trulpen bump 1

[farmboy]

@trulpen I hope you are doing well under the circumstances. I will declare this one in default given the long absence. It will have little meaning for the final standings though so I’m not claiming the win.
