My Allied play isn’t that strong (mostly because my opponents lately have wanted Allies or accepted small bids, so I barely play them).  If you want, I can just tell you the minimum bid I’d accept to play the Allies.

I am also willing to play low luck, if that interests you.

[wheatbeer]

Not a bad move, and unexpected too … the Axis are cut off from most of the new pro-Axis armies, and most that they can get are no-IPC territories.

[Guest]

I would have been nice to at least kill a few Turks though, and Spain was bad too, and You wold think  some of those stupid US destroyer blocs would kill a sub once in a while or something, but no.  Ah well.

[wheatbeer]

Definitely true … I need to go to bed, but looking forward to tacking the Balkan/Iberian invasions.

[Guest]

Meh.  Why bother?  I concede.

[wheatbeer]

Would you like a rematch? Low luck or normal?

I’ll play Allies for 12 if you want to switch sides.

[Guest]

Thanks for the offer, but actually Wheatbeer I am going to take a break from playing.  It’s not fun anymore.

[wheatbeer]

Okay, sorry to hear that, but I understand.

[Guest]

Sorry, just not feeling up to it.  You’re a great player BTW.  :-)
