Wasn’t expecting a hit in Egypt, but that’s okay.  Wish we were one game round later, but that too is okay. lol.  Tried opening this while on the road, the screen was all jacked up, so until I have time to get HP to give me another copy of my free upgrade key from Vista to 7 for my old laptop, I can’t really reset it which means I can’t fix the under laying issues (namely a java so jacked up I can’t do anything with it…but then, ADOBE nuff said right?)

[boldfresh]

you posted a turn - i’m not sure what the issue is?

[Jennifer]

I’m not in the field today, I’m at home. :P  No issues at home =^_^=

have not forgotten about you, we got an offer on the house Monday night and now we’re scrambling to find a new house to live in out where I work now so my time’s being eaten alive by that.

I did finally upgrade Java on my portable, so I plan to install a new version of TripleA on there, so as soon as I find a place and get an offer of my own accepted by sellers, I can immediately jump into the next round.

I’ll try to get one up on Monday as well, regardless of what’s going on.  (I have the morning shift which means a nice really, REALLY relaxing day anyway, since 90% of my shift is done before the store opens!  Woot!  No customers!)

[boldfresh]

Jenn take your time I am not moving in any of my games till cow is dead.

@Boldfresh:

The question is, do you like your steak rare or well done?

I like my cow dead and buried.

[boldfresh]

Your turn still jenn but no rush I will not be moving for a while… although cow may give up at any moment.

[Jennifer]

Yea I am a horrible person, sorry.  There’s been some DRAMA lately (glare) but that’s okay too. :P  We’re still friendlies, I hope despite our personal opinions of drama. (I prefer mine on TNT.)

Anyway, yea, I have repaired my computer and I only had like 8000 viruses on it and my windows update was corrupt, but got that fixed, put an AV program on (fine yes, yell at me, IT help desk girl who looks cuter in her uniform than she follows her own advice, I get it.)  I also finished my first tier of certifications for work, so that should get my boss off me about doing my online courses finally. /whew

Add to that, unless something drastic happens, my house is officially SOLD now, woot!  And I have an accepted offer on a house, WOOT WOOT (with a lake view, woot woot woot!)

Oh, and now that I could update java to something that has been released since computers were first invented in the 1600s by some Chinese guy, I have tripleA installed again on this thing.  (I am stuck with a laptop until the 28th when I move into my new home.)

So really, I have no more excuses to delay despite how unnerving that hit on Egypt was. (So much so that I don’t even have to open the map again to remember it. :P)  So I guess it’s back to learning the strategy that the rules dictate.  Knowing the rules are one thing, knowing the strategies another, lol!  (Hey, I am no worse off than when I first came here after p0wning the MSN gaming zone back in Hasbro’s Iron Blitz days.  Knew the rules, had NO IDEA how to use them to win the game! lol.)  Okay, that’s not true, I do know some of how to use them to win.

I take it you are finally back on track and done with the Cow?

okay, take your time.  I know you wanted to kill the cow being now and all (couldn’t help it, the cow is now is such a Chicago phrase after mancow muller) so do that.  Interesting situation for India, but I’ve seen it before, I know it used to be unstoppable to prevent japan from crushing india super early in the game, not sure if there has been a method figured out yet or not.  I guess if you felt safe enough trying to get the fighters there from Australia it would help, but how they don’t get waxed by the Japanese while underdefended I have no idea.
