@Boldfresh:

if the ancients lose this one it will be the choke of the century.

I disagree with you.

I still think Axis has this in the BAG.

[Gargantua]

Of course… 25 planes sitting on top of a stack of almost 100 infantry, is a rather significant deterrent.

[Gargantua]

I don’t know about you guys, but as Canuck12 would say, “I see a see zone of error”.

Hank better start paying me to keep my mouth shut.

C’mon, I need some reciprocity for my silence! or else… ;)

He missed the transports.

HOW COULD YOU MISS 6 FREE TRANSPORTS?!?!

How could you do that?! Everything is on the line!

The ENTIRE invasion of Australia would have FAILED.  A small price to pay for 1 carrier and 1 fgt that still get defensive shots.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :(

HANK, How could you have made such a fatal ERROR?

well the ancients are well on their way to an epic choke.  ancients got crushed in turkey.  ancients somehow failed to go for the 6 transports by sacrificing only a US acc an anz ftr, and they are also not going to max defend moscow which i would say is a huge mistake.

but who knows, games like this take more study than i have given it to really see all the intricate details that make the difference.

[boldfresh]

the end is HERE!!!  holy smokes!!!  the ancients are IMPLODING!!!  :-o :-o :-o :-o :-o

[Gargantua]

Those 6 transports were CRITICAL.  Because Ancients had a crack at India next turn too, with a fighter build.

Now those transports could swing back and crush any force that moves into West India…

Declaring war on the neutrals instead… whilst brave… is also misguided.  Hopefully they win the Ukraine.  But I don’t know if that will be enough.

Russian AA guns are now nullified.

I am very sad for the Ancients. :(

As a tournament moderator, am I allowed to intervene and declare a re-turn?

[Gargantua]

Tiger woods never had a choke this bad.

I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I AM SEEING.  this can’t be right - hank
must have hacked Me’s account!!!  i never saw this coming in a million years!!!  and why take a russian territory right before russia falls?  i’m so shocked i’m can BARELY speak.  :lol:

[boldfresh]

my number 1 theory is that allweneed used his jedi mind tricks
to convince the ancients to throw the game.  i defy you to give me a more plausible explanation!
