hey cow, i think you need to post an updated map….  it’s G12 time and AWN could use your help.

[boldfresh]

standing by with russia map in hand.  hank, you’re up any minute!

[Hank13]

I just got home! I thought I would have another day at least…

Maybe my partner will stall - I still can’t look at a computer screen for more than 20 minutes straight without getting a headache.

hmmmm.  awn is not very good at stalling, but see what you can do.

[Hank13]

Also, we have never, and will never, choose a strategy or do a move based on outside advice so please keep it off the forum (for both sides). I don’t want Bold posting any excuses for why they lose this game :)

AWN, can you also please request that cow keep his advice off this thread, it’s only hurting you anyway if you would use it.  it’s annoying at best and catastrophic at worst.  you never know when he’s using his incowception.  jedi mind tricks are no match for incowception.

[boldfresh]

maybe we can settle this right here in Brainard.

[dutchmand]

This is great.  What a fun game.

[boldfresh]

yes, it’s been a true pleasure to play with you gentlemen.  looks like you took cow’s advice and vacated west germany.  :wink:

[dutchmand]

Probably posting tomorrow Hank so gets some rest.

[Cow]

It happens. The allies have it hard.

[boldfresh]

@Cow:

It happens. The allies have it hard.

Im sorry but u are clueless coward.

[allweneedislove]

cow please refrain from posting on this thread.

i enjoy game discussions and am happy to partake, but please post on a different thread or via p.m. and only discuss past events and not future moves.

[allweneedislove]

@Boldfresh:

yes, it’s been a true pleasure to play with you gentlemen.  looks like you took cow’s advice and vacated west germany.   :wink:

dont worry, i have not looked at any of cows maps.

and i usually plan germany’s move on italy’s turn.

i have played cow realtime in the triplea lobby and would not be following his advice, although he does have the basics down as he has written “playbooks” that others find very helpful. if he suggested something that i had done it was probably an obvious move.

i assume the wink emoticon means you are joking, otherwise i would be insulted if you actually thought that i/we would not play our own strategy, in favour of someone elses.

[dutchmand]

@allweneedislove:

Your lips to God’s ears, my man.

[Cow]

AWN is better than me.

I tend not to revise my strategies and rather stick to overall concepts, which is good in live play because global is a long game and to complete a game I have to act quickly.

Also, everything I do has been put on the forum. People have done it, devised counter strategies, and so on.

Following my strategies would be bad against experienced players, because they have seen it.

I do not expect to beat AWN. I am going to take heavy risks and gamble.

[boldfresh]

yes i am joking AWN.  cow is just fun to mess with.  he is right about one thing… this game is about over.
