13L G40 Jenn vs Boldfresh (+48 Allies) + no tech

[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.

When did the French destroyer die?  I am sure it did, I don’t see it and I am not accusing you, but was it with Italy’s last move?  I did kinda luck out with the ANZAC destroyer hit, but I was hoping to use the French destroyer not the ANZAC one. lol.

Just curious.  I’ll be back tonight, I have to head off to work now, but I can get a round in.  Going to be really hard to contain japan without India, but since I did nothing really radical with India, I suspect there is nothing India can do to survive if Japan wants to hunt it down so it has to be possible for the allies to hold out after that falls - just hard.

the french destroyer was in z38 and was killed on J3.

gosh you did get really lucky and kill my cruiser with your destroyer.  :lol:  sucks for me.
