what i wouldn’t give for a nice sized med fleet right now.

[Ghostglider]

Would be simple for you to buy… Both Italy and Germany can build in z97 - Actually I think you should spend more money on navy  :roll:

[boldfresh]

i guess jehol is where i’m gonna catch my big break - 72% attack, right in that sweet spot!  :lol:

[boldfresh]

course i was hoping part of that break would include a bomber or two downed by rambo in chahar.  guess he was not feeling well today.

[boldfresh]

the fact that my infantry defense hit rate has been hovering in the single digits has not helped me much.

[boldfresh]

i’d still be losing but boy it would sure be nice to catch some hits on defense one of these days…  :lol:  i feel a lot like hobo right now.

[boldfresh]

granted i did better than expected on attack of egypt but cmon i need REAL help.  :lol:

[boldfresh]

i clearly have no hope other than to bait you into 70-80 percent attacks and get hugely lucky! :|

[Ghostglider]

I like the part about givent me +75% chances on purpose for the important battles.
With our gamespeed compared to the rest of the playoff i guess we could have choosen to play best out of three…

[Ghostglider]

Is it time for a rematch or do you have some tricks up your sleave that you want to throw at me first?

[boldfresh]

You suggesting best of three for our first round match?

[boldfresh]

Between us it looks like whoever has the allies has an easy win  :-o

[boldfresh]

I think we are the best matched two players in the league currently.  I only wish I had not made a rookie mistake in this game ruining it for all posterity.  :?

[Ghostglider]

The rematch should only count towards league15. I just had imagined that other also played with the same speed as us. As it looks now there could go quite some time before next round is ready. Changing rules of a tournament on the run I dont like - so playing best of three in the tournament should have been decided before we started the first one - as I am sure you agree about.

Ha well I am far too busy currently with everything to properly concentrate, as I’m sure you would agree.  Don’t think I will be taking any more games till the new year  :-(  even if you offered to change this on the fly to best of three I would have to decline.
