[Gargantua]

LOL Can’t believe I forgot about Italy’s NO.

Don’t know what to say… keep making mistakes,  Even Rostov, I was going to add units to that.

Whatev… not my best game LOL.  Let’s see how it finishes!

Great play on your part!

[Gargantua]

TripleA crashed mid turn, so I had to redit in everything.

I added slaves I’ve been torturing since last turn… and soon they are going to talk. :)

[Gargantua]

I am surprised you didn’t go all out for the Allied fleet in Sz110 on your turn, especially with a carrier build.  You had pretty solid odds, and could have wiped me for +40 to +50.

Lucky me? ;)

[variance]

Yeah I was looking closely into sinking that fleet and build 2 carriers but I figured it would cost me too much a) money, b) planes, and c) Norway.  So I thought “Gargantua is trying to bait me again like at Calcutta.  Don’t fall for it Vance”.  Plus you spent a lot on Korea which put Japan in a bad spot but there isn’t any follow up to D-day (for now).  So I decided to kill those guys on the ground if/when they land somewhere and save my fleet for another day.  So that’s my thinking.
