    @Soulblighter:

    And don’t forget. Even if you manage to beat Cow on normal difficulty. You still have to beat him on nightmare and hell.

    This is too funny. The Jen’s leg comment is a classic too.  Only our community understands how incredibly whitty and perfect that line is.

    I’ve heard a lot of talk from Hank…. are we gonna see some ACTION soon or what??  BRING IT!

  • TripleA

    interesting.  if he was going to do that he should have done it last round when the odds were better.  course i’m sure cow’s comments had nothing to do with it.  :roll:

    course, it could blow up in your face, so i look forward to it.  :-D

    if only i had a LL reroll.  oh wait, i do.  :wink:

    can’t blame cow for trying…. the only chance he has of not losing this tourney is to help AWNISHANK to the win.  :lol:  and even if he loses to Hank and Love, at least he didn’t have to lose 2 straight.  FREAKIN HILARIOUS.

  • '12

    sitting here patiently with my OOL plans in hand.  :wink:

  • '12

    if you have your buy, please post it here, it will help me to be ready with the OOL faster for you.  we should be able to roll this thing super fast.

  • '12

    also, are you attacking the fleet with everything possible, or might you be holding some back?  :-D

  • '12

    FYI, this battle should be rolled on the forum no matter what (whether you take in destroyers or not).  TripleA handles battles like this incorrectly on several counts.

    roll it on the forum please.

  • '12

    the subs will fight, rather than submerge.  :lol:

  • '12

    YES!!!  i thought this day would never come.  cow, thank you so much for the suggestion - i don’t think there was anything better that could happen to secure our win than this battle.

  • '12

    what is the delay??  ready and waiting for your rolls.

  • '12

    so let me get this straight, we get on crack to get really lucky.  if we don’t get lucky or it doesn’t go close to odds, we get to use the reroll to assure a result that we could only hope to see.  i love it.  dutch might be a little disappointed momentarily, until his pacific fleet rises again from the ashes.  :-D

  • '12

    hello?  is it dinnertime?

    oh i see, maybe you were just posting so i could have time to prepare the ool.  that’s cool.

    ready when you are.

  • '12

    i find it really ironic that cow is an accomplice to his own demise.  how appropriate!  :lol:

  • '12

    at least you can take solace in the fact that i lost money to dutch.  i bet him 100 bucks you would not attack the fleet….  the reasons are too many to enumerate.  YAY

  • '12

    honestly, up until this point, i thought hank played a great game in the pacific.  i understand the thought process for going at the fleet - i do.  especially after the loss of the 3 cruisers ––>CAPITALIZE!  but i think you will discover that this move is fraught with problems.  i’m guessing (just a long shot) that hank would never have made the move if not for cow’s suggestion (i could of course be wrong, since cow mentioned the finnish naval base i built - my wife is from Finland though, so i have a particular affinity for the country).

    long story short, it’s more than i could have hoped for that you would make this attack.  i will be somewhat disappointed if we roll way up and win the battle, but that’s the chance you take.  then again, if you roll way up, you can get your reroll back, but at the price of most of your airforce.  tough choice, and i don’t think it was a terrible choice on it’s face.  but i think it is the one thing i hoped for more than any other.
