    we are having a great time.  i hope you don’t give up after US/UK10, but i will understand if you do.  i know you agreed to play until all your capitals have fallen, but i’m willing to let you off that hook.  you guys have been great sports, and it’s been an honor to play you.  i look forward to some fantastic 2014 league games with you both!

    i wonder what hank will purchase with that extra 4ipc. maybe he will just keep it as a memento of strength

    I think it is all of the positivity that comes off of this thread…

    I’m thinking of buying 1 mech. infantry for Tokyo that will ultimately take over the US complex in Korea…

    well boys, thanks to your use of LL reroll in amur and the favorable trades you are getting on all air attacks and our poor results of all air attacks, not to mention the perfect kamis, this game has gotten a lot tighter as of late than i ever thought it could be.  a lot due to luck, but your good play put you in position to capitalize on luck so that is to be commended.

    i feel much better about this game being close than a blowout anyway - the first ever XDAP tourney deserves a GREAT final, which this will now be.  sorry for the delay in posting, dutch and i are both INSANELY busy and there is a great deal of planning needed for this pivotal move.  maybe tonight, maybe as late as monday.

    cheers

    @Boldfresh:

    …favorable trades you are getting on all air attacks and our poor results of all air attacks…

    what do you consider air attacks?

    aaguns?
    escort and interceptor?
    combat in territories when the attacker only has air units?
    combat in seazones when the attacker only has air units?
    all of the above?

    after work i will do a quick analysis of air attacks

    i believe you have gotten better luck especially in air attacks, will be interesting to find out.
