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.
