@Gargantua:

It’s good for you, that you made short work of my cruisers in the med!  And have kept your german airforce alive!

This is shaping up to be a good game.

I especially like some aspects of your G1 and J1.  Definetly some good moves on your part,  specifically your German/Italian Cooperation.  It’s finally nice to play agianst someone who understands how PARAMOUNT it is for Germany to give Italy the support it needs to grow.  I’ll give you that you know what you are doing.

But I don’t think it’s enough, and I’ve got some surprises planned just for YOU. :)

thanks.

i’m trying to give you a run for your money.  you sure put the hurt on my italians…hurts thats for sure, have to adjust some things.  UK has never been that agressive in the med on me before.  most UK players value their fleet too much to do that round 1.

i dont like those russians you have ready to go into the middle east, reminds me too much of my self ( i try to get them there asap also), but nothing i can do about that with my italians so weak.  :cry:

only time will tell if its enough…and i’m sure you do have some surprises planned just for me.

[Gargantua]

i’m trying to give you a run for your money.

You are suceeding!  And I would argue you are better than most online.

But you also fell for the Kenyan Trap!  A territory that gets raided by the french netting 0, whilst exposing italian somalia land for future freebie  Russian conquest!  Not a big deal though…

:)

I’m honestly impressed with many of your manuevers.  But LOL…  I’ve decided to go the with “plan crazy” in the pacific.

Wait till you see the American and British turns… you are going to drop a “W T F do I do now” bomb.

Please be ready to take a picture of your face :)

[Gargantua]

I will say though… I’ve never faced anyone smart enough to drop no less than 5 carriers on the board.

That really DOES have me concerned.

[Gargantua]

Hmm…

I see what you’re up to.

Alright, let’s Dance!

[Gargantua]

For some reason it kept erroring out on the UK2 turn/post.

Not sure why?

There was also a bug - which I’m going to report, in Sz109,  it would not allow my sub to enter that zone, even though I can ignore you, and it also would not let me NCM my transport in that zone (Which is legal, only an amphibious assualt without escort can be blocked - I double checked.)

I edit moved all my stuff there, as my purchase required it, and the rules allow it.

Also, I opted to change up my American “Surprise” plans, in lieu of realizing what you’re REALLY after.

Bring it. :)

thats all cool.  also, when my italians DOW on russia…the program puts germany at war with russia automatically, thats not correct.  germany could still be not at war with russia and italy could be because its not until the next russian turn that russia would be able to DOW on the Axis.  minor issue.

and what am i REALLY after?

[Gargantua]

Actually,

You are correct about war declarations.

So long as Germany does not declare war on Russia next turn, you can edit mode yourself an extra 5 IPC’s.  (Or I can do it on the Russian turn for you if you like?)

I’ll tip my hand as to what I think you’re up to in the pacific, after our game is complete.  I must say -  I like it!
