Gamer (allies +11) vs. Bold - game 2 of 2

[boldfresh]

And I’m sorry if you felt like I was lumping you in with JDOW yesterday - he’s not even close to in your league.  He just likes to run his mouth off about other people’s games and it’s annoying when he ends up being right but for the wrong reasons.  You guys are similar most notably in your penchant for whining about early and mid game dice rather than waiting for the final outcome.  That and liking to dish out subtle negative comments and be mortified by them in return.  :-)

@Boldfresh:

i know what you say at this point - it no longer matters!  ha, well, yeah but still its funny how i go like 0 for 10 including 5 or 6 aa shots and you immediately hit on your one defensive shot.  it’s incredible how ingrained the trends are in our games.   :-)

i know why it was more notable to me - the japanese turn was also a plinkfest.  but of course i did get lucky in africa on the german turn so probably all evens out - like our combined luck in this game right?  :-)

[boldfresh]

i know we have a lot of past frustrations that annoy us about each other, but in the end i do think it’s because we have more similarities than differences.  you know you are my buddy always off the gameboard and i’m glad i got a little in depth study in of your game which will be very useful come playoff time.  you’ve played great and you deserve the win - when it’s over i will of course congratulate you and be a good sport.

Cheers!

Thank you
Yes, Germany was lucky in Africa, Japan suffered a lot of plinks, and UK had a wonderful perfect turn

It looks like maybe Lucky Lindy is back?

[gamerman01]

2 hours - was late at night, sometimes I am doing other things, and yes I take your threats seriously.  I am dealing with the battle of the bulge right now - Russian edition

And…. I play like I eat.  I savor  :-D

[boldfresh]

cmon, lucky lindy never went anywhere.

[gamerman01]

Perfect USA too I guess

[boldfresh]

@Boldfresh:
