Fine

Busy season for a CPA
You’re entitled to bump I suppose
Who’s idea of how long the playoffs should last is correct?

@Zhukov44:

3.5 months in and we’re still on round 4.  I realized these playoff games would be long ones but….

Normally I could care less about time/delays but since this is a playoff and Ghostglider is waiting on us…

Bump #1.

And now it’s been more than 3 days for you - what gives?
Dang, I catch a mistake with the Italians and you move quickly and I can’t fix it.  Now I’m eager to play and you’re not playing.  Alas

[Zhukov44]

Keep in mind I’m Allies.  For me, Allies always requires more planning.  And this is a key turn.  Should have something by the end of the weekend, hopefully sooner.

A good pace is a 2 way street.  I’d play faster if the game was fresher in my mind.

I’ve made some errors in this game so I can’t afford to rush anything.

[gamerman01]

Sure, I know all that, just a little miffed that you would bump
This game will be finished, so bumping is pointless
I was in my busy season, trying to meet a major deadline, that’s all

Things are finally slowing down for me, I’ll be picking up the pace soon.  All day seminars out of town the next couple days, but after that things are slowing down

[gamerman01]

I e-mailed I4 to your dice e-mail address earlier today because the site was down.  Can’t post the turn now either because away from home, but the file has been e-mailed to you so it is your turn for FRANZAC4  :-)

Wish I could land some better dice in these small battles; small dicings add up over time.

[Zhukov44]

It’s part of what makes Allies challenging.  Every once in a while Allies have no choice but to take battles where the odds are like 60%-80%, and when it doesn’t work, Allies are set back.  Whereas Axis rarely needs to take a battle less than 90%, if they play their cards right.
