BM 23 Playoff Final Gamerman (L+4) vs Farmboy (X)

@gamerman01 I believe JDow realizes that and was just making a little joke

[gamerman01]

My pace might slow down a little - MrRoboto is supposed to be back, and you’re making this game hard

It’s almost like it’s the championship or something

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 All good. And glad I’m making this more of a challenge than our first game.

[gamerman01]

Champ game is gonna have to be top priority, it’s September and the crowds are anxious to see who the next king is!

When it’s my turn I should move on this before the others… I will try to comply with the 3 day rule.

Just didn’t want you to think I was going to take a week per move now. Hopefully my allies can come up with something.

[farmboy]

@gamerman01 all good. Looking forward to the turn of course, but not in a rush. I probably will only have time to do Italy and maybe Germany before next week in any case.

Yes, this :-)

[gamerman01]

Here’s the interim, after USA complete.

You got a big extra hit in the Pacific but I think I can still hang in there.

At least the AA shot missed - I HAD to fly a plane over it because 96% is absolutely unacceptable in that situation.

High adventure off the Indian coast

The post-turn glance, and I want to land 1 dare-devil fighter on Syria instead of safe TrJ

As tantalizing as a German fleet is, it is so important to get on top of Russia fast.

This is old school - buy as many ground first 3 rounds as you can, or Russia stuffs you.

Let’s see if I can remember how to deal with this - it’s been a long time! In other words, well played

[gamerman01]

I’m going to attack 113 and ask for a scramble -
You can tell me now or wait until I post entire Combat move - but just so you know it’s coming soon

[gamerman01]

Actually, I’m ready…

[gamerman01]

Oh, and do you submerge the sub

[gamerman01]

And as strategically valuable the Russian sub can be, thanks for destroying it. It’s a pain figuring out US/UK fleet movements on Russia’s turn.
