Just wanted to check; you see that the German navy in 93 can attack either the US fleet in 104 or 109 with overwhelming odds?

@ArtofWar1947

I did not but I decided that I’ll probably concede here after I see your Germany turn. I was curious as to how you were going to move on their eastern front. Though, I won’t drag it on if you don’t want to.

I made the decision after your last Japan turn. India and the Middle East will fall and there isn’t much I can do about it. Poor early turn playing and being out maneuvered in the Pacific pretty much killed it for me without even a decisive battle. I’ve played with Stucifer a little bit and he usually crushes me, so I was pretty sure you’d do the same considering he hasn’t beaten you, but I felt that playing you would be at least educational. Now that I have decided to actually try and get better at the game.

I’m a little busy today so I’ll get to it tomorrow should you at least want do Germany. Otherwise, GG! Did not read the rules on who reports but I assume the loser does?

[Culann]

Appreciate the game!

[ArtofWar1947]

@Culann

I am happy continuing the game or ending it–whichever you’d like to do. Strucifer was a tough opponent who pushed me hard to think. I suspect he’s better now, making the outcome of next game unclear. You clearly have played much before and were by no means an easy out. I had to carefully plan each turn and work at not making a mistake. I suspect you will quickly become an equal or a better player.

If you want to end our current game, I’d be willing to risk a rematch.

[ArtofWar1947]

@Culann

Typically, the player conceding a game reports it. Format I have used (many times :) ):

{Name of opponent} wins {name of the game, which contains game type and bid; e.g., PTV ArtofWar (Ax+11) v Culann (Al).

{URL of the game, which includes the game number; e.g., https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/41178/ptv-artofwar-ax-11-v-culann-al/}

[Culann]

@ArtofWar1947

I’m good for a rematch can’t get to it till tomorrow though. Switch sides?

[ArtofWar1947]

@Culann

Fair enough.

Do you want me to send you the cheat sheet I use to set up a game?

[Culann]

@ArtofWar1947

Sure!

Also, same bid? Forgot to ask yesterday my bad.

[ArtofWar1947]

@Culann

Same bid is fair.
