@Cmdr:

I distrust the advice of my cohorts. � Those who succeed rarely enjoy having a large throng of others who succeed with them, just ask Dogbert! � (Dogbert’s Book of Managerial Rules. � Get a copy, heathens!)

I’ve played one round of this game in TripleA. � Bid placement worked great there, Arathorn’s afraid to come out and play round 2…okay okay, fine, so he also got smushed by the dice a little, nothing drastic, I just think he over extended so a bad set of dice is compounded…he claims to be coming back or be back by now, I dunno, told him he could post in July again. :P

As for my balanced approach, part of that is to do with the 1 unit per territory restriction. � Otherwise, AC+2 Fighters+2 Submarines in SZ 98 would be really nice to have, kill Italy off and keep them from growing through application of CRD!!

BTW, that’s a typo on Sea Zone 99, it should be 98. � Per league bidding rules, you cannot place naval units in sea zones you do not start with naval units present in anyway, but yea that cruiser’s supposed to be with the Egyptian fleet, just to clarify.

• 1 Infantry in Belarus (Russian)
• 1 Infantry in Western Ukraine (Russian)
• 1 Artillery in Novgorod (Russian)
• 1 Artillery in Caucasus (Russian)
• 1 Armor in Buryatia (Russian)
• 1 Artillery in Szechwan (Chinese)
• 1 Artillery in Kweichow (Chinese)
• 1 Destroyer in SZ 91 (British)
• 1 Cruiser in SZ 98 (British) {corrected for typo}

Note, I checked the others, just to make sure I had territory names correct. � Infantry/Artillery for Russia should be behind the front lines a step (or Caucasus) with an Armor on the Far East. � China’s got a pair of Artillery flanking Yunnan, honestly couldn’t think of a better place to put them and wanted a pair for China since they rarely get to build more (at least they rarely did in Alpha 2) and the British have a naval unit added to the warships on both sides of the Med. �

Afraid? lol

Someone has been out of the country, arranged a wedding to marry off a sister, taken finals, worked 80 hour work weeks, taken fiancée on sightseeing in Norway AND packed up to move a million things to the US….

No cmdr, not afraid - busy and overworked - but will come back to punish you shortly.

[Jennifer]

You know what they say, Arathorn.  “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but chains and whips excite me!”  (yea, you had a wedding to go to, I just bookmarked our game so I could find it in July to remind you.)

[Jennifer]

@Boldfresh:

@Cow:

Cow, {blah} {blah} {blah}

Your {blah} {blah} {blah}

My {blah} {blah} {blah}

In case you missed it, Bold, yer turn.  Lot of NON GAME RELATED CHATTER GOING ON IN HERE, think that’s cause of the bid, just didn’t want you to miss that Russia 1 was sorta posted…cause ya know, Russia really doesn’t get a turn until someone decides to declare war on her…  :roll:

As for me, I expect this game to end in a Chinese hegemony of the likes you will all never see again!  (turns to her general, “the hell do you mean China can’t invade Rome!  What kind of American Imperialist game is this anyway!  To ROME!  And on the double dang it to heck!”)

[Karl7]

KILL! KILL! KILL!

[Jennifer]

Have to go out of town tonight, was just told about this like 5 hours ago, of course.  :roll:  So I probably cannot get a round up until Sunday (assuming Bold posts his round before then) and even that is sorta doubtful, it may be Monday before I can post anything.

[boldfresh]

Thanks for the heads up jenn

[Jennifer]

Back in town.

So I am ready when you are, just let me know.  Looks like I even fixed my current version of TripleA so it posts directly to the website, woot!  (better than copy/pasting and uploading map.  So hey, there’s that over battlemap.)

Significantly more dmg received in Taranto than I was expecting.  But that’s okay, the extra bomber and fighter I hoped for would have been nice, but it’s not a total loss, at least the Italian air force and a very valuable German fighter now rest at the bottom of the Med!  And, after all, I did kinda luck out in SZ 106, so at least there’s no CRD for me there!
