My lousy bombers are 3 for 9

[gamerman01]

Should have waited for round by round casualty choices because it would be better for the Japs to clean up, but it’s surely not going to matter….

I’ll keep going under the assumption that you had saved your Russian bomber (highly doubtful) so that it doesn’t get away…

[gamerman01]

Well, that was absolutely sick luck, but unfortunately you needed it earlier because now it’s too late to matter.  I suppose you will look at this as yet more bad luck, because you get unbelievable luck after it doesn’t matter anymore….  :-)

The Red October still lives.  You have to decide whether to attack the destroyer in Z13.
I’m hoping you’ll resign now so I don’t have to do 83 IPC Japan.

perhaps a rowboat would have made things even.

Good game. The 21 bid prolonged the inevitable by about 2-3 rounds as you lost practically nothing in Russia until the last turn. As usual I could not muster enough support.

Ready for the rematch.  Same bid slightly different.  3inf egypt  Bmb Buryatia

[gamerman01]

Thanks - good game to you too

I don’t think I’m willing to give up a 21 bid anymore, sorry
Heck, I even took an 8 bid with Allies against Yoshi, so since I gave you a 21 bid I’ve changed my mind about how weak and helpless the Allies are.  Well, a little bit.  8 bid wasn’t enough, especially with 2 big lousy rolls on R2.

Thanks for not making me do Japan again….
We should probably re-bid for the rematch…  You can open the bidding since I won the first one…

Thanks again, and as always, a pleasure to play a game with you.

[Battlingmaxo]

I’m not sure any bid can overcome my dice. I was  1-6  last year as allies with normal bids against lesser players (by your rankings). I also think I’m better than my record suggests (you may/may not agree with this) and while japan was slowed down slightly the outcome of our last game was decided by rd 6-7.

Keeping this in mind I will start the bidding @21.

Whats the latest with G40…are we up to alpha 10 yet ?

have you done any TripleA ?

[gamerman01]

I’ll bid 15

Don’t like Triple A.  Tried it, and it wouldn’t let me make legal moves on J1 in 1942.  Carriers/Fighters confused it.  That’s unacceptable to me.  ABattlemap allows you to house rule anything you want and allows you to always follow the rules correctly.

He lost me after Alpha2.  I thought Alpha2 made some good changes, and when he started dicking with Mongolia, I thought “forget it”.  I’m waiting for a finalization and am not even playing global until then.

Sort of sorry I bought this one…long cumbersome will never find anyone to play with ftf…looking like ebay time

[gamerman01]

I like to set it up when I’m playing it on-line.  Will probably never play F2F either.  Bid 12

[Battlingmaxo]

11

[gamerman01]

You can have 'em at 11

Maybe it will serve you better than it served me - Zhuk pasted my extra destroyer in Z12 with 2 fighters and a bomber taking no losses.  Please don’t take an extra destroyer in Z12 because I’ll probably lose everything and you’ll come out with a cruiser or better.

Freaking 1941 fantasy scenario.  Getting sick of automatic monster Japans every game.  Japan out-earning the USA almost every single game by 30-40 IPC’s is a ridiculous fantasy.  Japan storming China in 2-3 turns is a fantasy.  Rant over.

[Battlingmaxo]

I know what you mean as I have played allies almost exclusively for a year and been on the receiving end of it.

Lets do  inf egypt  ss z35  2bucks in the kremlin.

Good luck (as if you need it against my dice)

[gamerman01]

Your dice are incredible!

After it’s too late.

Maybe start game 2 tonight…
