X-DAP FINAL - Dairy(Qyrn?) vs. TeamBoldDutch - Game 1

[Cow]

Congrats on trapping my fleet that I normally lose by round 2 anyway.

[Omega1759]

Uk fleet is lost, but Italy still has its fleet and the US has TRANSPORTS…

There is a price to pay with Japan and the neutrals of course, but on balance it looks like the allies are in trouble here.

I really don’t get the benefit of buying transports until they can be protected (I did not design the game though)

Thats not a fleet thats a superfleet.  And when you lose it, you normally get something in return.  Good one cow.

He is following what larry does.  :wink:

He bought the US transports thinking he would have the cover of the UK fleet in the atlantic.  Now we will see if cow can adapt to something he is seeing for the very first time.

Bold beat me to it - but yeah, the plan is to use the UK fleet as cover, but when we do what we did, we’ve set the allies back several rounds. And people are too afraid of the +6 inf in Mongolia, + X around South America, Middle East and Africa - the inf are out of position, some are hard to get, and it only takes a well coordinated WHACK to take them out…

[arathorn]

Bold and I used this strategy against my brother and ErwinRommel in a recent game - and it was golden!

[boldfresh]

japan is coming soon

[boldfresh]

i have another surprise for you cow.  you should feel really special that i have thought all this stuff up just for you.  :wink:

[boldfresh]

lunch then posting - within 1.5 hr

the small delay was to hear from Dutch on a couple key items on that J2.

enjoy.

[boldfresh]

so far the COWDICE have been in hiding…  but I’m sure they are lurking viciously not too far away.  :lol:

[boldfresh]

i should say the COWARDICE  :wink: right?

[seth4god]

@Boldfresh:

this game will be the opposite of our first meeting - there will be no very little trash talk coming coming from Bold until AFTER we win the game…  :-o :lol:  that will then again halt undergo a dramatic reduction until AFTER we GLORIOUSLY  DEFEAT the cow.

I knew this wouldn’t last  :-P

[boldfresh]

seth, comeon man,  i said “very little” and “drastically reduced”, both of which are absolutely true.  :roll:  you’re just jealous that YOU aren’t dismantling COW on the big stage…  :wink: :-P

[seth4god]

Ha, hardly. But he has been reticent about doing another league game against me, guess he knows that he was lucky to win the last one because of 3 HUGE battles that were all 67% or greater in my favor and yet he won each one of them.

Ah well, I’ll just have to settle for beating you whenever you have time again. No rush though, you can savor beating Cow all you want . …  we both know that our game is in the back of your mind haunting your every thought.  :wink:

this warm and well written piece of trash talk really made my heart swell…  thanks for the compliments and for your patience.  i will get back to our game AND FINISH DESTROYING YOU soon!  i find it hard to imagine this game going more than another couple of rounds.  :wink:

sorry technical difficulties.

but to your other point, yeah once cow knows you have his number, he really doesn’t want to play you again.    :?  i have found that to be true as well…. unfortunately he had to play me here, which makes me a very lucky guy.  sorry seth, maybe another tourney someday.

[seth4god]

I love how you changed your font to really really small to try and hide it.

AND, stop baiting me into more trash talk with Cow… it’s not nice to kick a cow when he’s down.
