Canuck12 (AXIS) vs SUPER GARGANTUA (Allies) Spring 1942

[Gargantua]

I REALLY don’t know what to say man lol.

You consistently hit me more, with less units and power than my armies.

Don’t matter if it’s the Americans, British, or the Russians lol.

But I just accept that it is what it is, and I want to see you go for the Russian throat (Because I have seen players that just can’t get it done) Before I’m ready to give this one up.

[Gargantua]

LOL, it would have been an EPIC FAIL  If you hadn’t seen my transport off of Alaska.

I figured you’d pop it, but in the back of my mind I thought, “at this rate, in this game, might as well just chance for it”.

Can you imagine the catastrophic level of defeat that would have been for you!? :P

I’m glad you saw it… last year you probably wouldn’t have.

[Canuck12]

Haha, I ain’t no slouch anymore. But the bomber in Alaska is still going to cause me headaches…

Fatal error.

Changes to non-combats needed.

Shit.

You got me…

[Gargantua]

Really?

[Gargantua]

You can Adjust…  and drop your Jap fighters in Berlin? Can’t you?

[Gargantua]

Should I allow this indescretion to be fixed?  Or do you feel like living with it to see what happens? :P

[Gargantua]

I think this is a cheap trick designed to get me to commit the bulk of my forces to your capital, where you then re-adjust with Japanese planes,  and I get trounced.

Or am I wrong here?

[Canuck12]

Haha. I wish I could call you to talk this out.

I fucked up. I’m going to pay for it one way or another.

I wont do anything pre-dice, only non-coms and placements. It’s really not that bad.

I wont even move a single unit out of France I promise.

Adjustments are place 9 inf in germany 1 AA
DO NOT non-com 2 to France
DO NOT non-com 1 fighter to Caucasus

No biggie.

[Gargantua]

I accept. :)

[Canuck12]

Haha. Thanks.

Although… this easy acceptance has me worried again…

Hahahahaha!

[Gargantua]

So,

Did you get your visa extended?

If not, I’ve just found myself in a serious manpower crunch.  Maybe even with a place for you to stay, (Potential roommate moving out of my place) $350 a month.

[Canuck12]

I did get my Visa extended. So I think I will stick around Brazil for a while. I’m having a pretty good time here. I live on the 13th floor of an appartment in Copacabana 2 blocks from the beach, eating fresh pineapple, papaya and mangoes every day and surfing or climbing on all of my days off. So life is a-okay here for the next 3 months anway.

I do appreciate the offer though, because I KNOW how sweet a deal you got me before. Do you realise that the money I made at Metrocan/PowerDrywall got me all the way through 8 weeks in Europe, 3 weeks in North Africa, 6 weeks in Chile and Argentina and lasted long enough for me to set up here and get a job? I bought my flight home for Jul 31 and still have about 200 bucks in the bank. But I’m making enough Brazilian reals to get by here without spending the rest. (Now you know why I was so goddamn frugal in Victoria.) So cheers again.

I got accepted into an Economics program at McGill for this September. So I’m probabaly going to go and do that. My Tax return should be enough to allow me to set up in Vic before school starts and after that I should be on my way to a little more financial stability doing something I enjoy. We will see how it all works out…

[Gargantua]

Wicked, well I’m glad to hear you’re good.

This video pretty much sums up my experience with this game.

Yes sir!
