@Zhukov44:

Don’t forget to mark the damage.

Right, sorry.  I see you marked it on your map.

Well, my second high risk, high reward fight of this game.  Still looks to me like i’m losing ground turn by turn so a gamble is the best I can hope for.

well, bit better for me round two, but not enough.

I’ll conceed the win to you now.  I am about to go on vacation for two weeks and I have had enough trouble playing this summer as it is.

Good luck the rest of the way, when I saw your move this morning I thought AH HA!  he finally made a mistake that might get me back in the game, but the dice didn’t fall my way today.

Matt.

[Zhukov44]

Yikes, very nice attack.  That British transport/dd is just as deadly as the Italian can opener in Europe; I gotta be more careful next time.  You gave yourself about as good as a chance as you could have in the Pacific with the air buys.  And you very nearly took me out (66% to take Tokyo yikes).  Sorry about the bad luck.

Good game.

[Seador]

it’s the way it happens, the best player definetly won!

[Yoshi]

very nice combination of moves… taking Japan here should have done it for good, and I guess it may have been an allied victory then. Did not follow the game entirely, but if you were loosing, a 66% was just your best shot.

[Seador]

Zhukov commented on the air build, I think it keeps Japan honest or risks losing its navel advantage on USA 2 to a 4 fighter 4 bomber strike on zone 62. This is the first time I can remember having bombers left for an actual attack on japan

Matt, you’re one heck of an improved player.  Nice game.
