It’s just tough going all the way, this game.  Big battle, and you get a top 6% result according to my calc  :-)  I’m earning anything I’m getting, but that’s OK.

Dangit, average luck has me losing 24 to your 44 in NWE.  Oh well, that’s A&A.  I’ll get lucky if I can hold on long enough for it to come……

Well, the Russians went easy on me (after I whiffed in the first round both times), but the Russians have more TUV than the Germans before they even buy….  That bid placement worked out great for you I think.

Ger - BMB (BSt) 2 INF, 2 ART (Pol) AA (Fra)
Bul - INF, AA (Pol)

Collect 40, 40 on hand

yeah there were a few factors that certainly helped. The bid was right up there.

Japan is in serious trouble in fact Both germany and japan are close to ruins. Not sure which country is in worse shape. Regardless Russia isn’t ever going to fall now. I don’t see how you can pull this out.

@JWW:

I don’t know about “close to ruins”.  If I don’t think there’s a reasonable chance I can win, I resign, don’t worry.

Dude, you’re only about 100 ahead in Total unit value.  You must wear rose-colored glasses.  I really don’t know that all your doom-saying is warranted.  Yes I’m behind a bit, and yes you have the advantage.  Maybe this is your gamesmanship?  Japan has 492 in units.  More than America.  More than anyone.  Perhaps you have never lost once you get 9 battleships going.  I can’t believe you haven’t been collecting the big Russian NO.  I was amazed when you pulled back several rounds ago.  You just keep on feeling invincible - those are the kind who find themselves vincible later.  :-)

[gamerman01]

Can’t play anymore A&A tonight….  Hopefully will get to this one in the next few days.  I will be picking a time when I’m fully rested, not hungry, and not distracted  :lol:.  It’s JAPAN!!!  The most POWERFUL country in the WORLD!  :lol:

Close to ruins.  That’s funny.  Because you’re finally denying me an NO for a turn?  Hahaha - you’re funny JWW.  I bet you think you’re winning every game right up to the point when you resign, like Boldfresh.  :lol:  You are winning this one, but at a 55 or 60 to my 45 or 40.

[666]

I admit, I am a bit conservative. Perhaps overly. I think the allies really need long term balance to win games and that means at times Russia or another allied country needs to “pull back” and attack another front.

At this juncture, I don’t see Russia losing the BIG NO for the remainder of the game. I could be wrong, but I don’t see it. Perhaps its my dark sun glasses!  8-)

[gamerman01]

Always interesting to play someone new
