[Soulblighter]

I resign from team bad dice. I was specific. I was unable to play, which puts the game on hold. I also mentioned why this was. My laptop. The only way I can play triple A, broke down and is being repaired. At least it looks like it will be repaired. You had no right to post in my place. Nor did you have to. As such I am resigning from team bad dice. Find somebody else if you want to, but I am out.

[Soulblighter]

I am seriously pissed off right now as I planned on hitting Ethiopia with 6 troops. not with 4. Using the TT from India as well. I may reconsider in continuing this game, but right now my laptop is still broken and I can’t see what the damage now is.

[Soulblighter]

So to be clear. I wave my resignation for the time being, provided my rant hasn’t scared of Variance. I hope to be able to load triple a on my laptop again today, provided it is fixed. Then I will take a look at the map and see if I am happy or not. Right now I am not happy, but it might not be as bad as I think it is.

[Soulblighter]

@JuanSpain

Amphibious assault needs to be done before all the other battles you did. In this case it did not matter, but there might be cases where it does.

[Soulblighter]

Again my sincere apologies for ranting. My conduct wasn’t appropriate. I am not quitting anything yet. I need to look at the map first.

[JuanSpain]

I don´t know why the map was not posted, I will have to repeat the turn, will edit if needed so that the map is the same.

[JuanSpain]

Someone changed something in the options of the game? file was not posted again.

I saved it, and attach here.

No need for edits, same combat results.

[variance]

I am sorry everyone for doing UK out of turn.  Soulblighter was having computer problems and then I didn’t hear anything from hi for a few days and I didn’t now when he would be back.  I just wanted to keep the game moving along.  We had been discussing what UK should do by private message and I thought I did what he wanted to do.  I knew he wanted to hit Ethiopia and he also had said something about taking Persia.  I calculated that the odds at Ethiopia were pretty good with 6 units plus the cruiser bombard, but I it turns out that he wanted to send all 6 there instead of Persia.  Anyway the dice went bad.  Sorry.  I won’t do it again.  :oops:

[variance]

I was having trouble posting with that file too.  not sure why.

It is fine. I shouldn’t have reacted the way I did. I should have responded earlier. Laptop still being repaired. Hope it can be fixed and hope it will be fixed soon.

[Gargantua]

I am glad this has self resolved.

If there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know.  And good luck with the computer SB, let me know if you are still having problems.

You were right to be mad.  I was out of line.  Sorry.

[Soulblighter]

This game is on hold till 28th of February this month. I am expecting to be able to continue this game before then, but I am not taking anymore chances.

[JuanSpain]

You can do what we do: send images of the map through wassap, both for opponent´s end turn map and your CM and NCM, no room for mistakes there and such a delay as the one you are proposing could be avoided.

[Gargantua]

This game needs to start back up, or have an update.

Else, it will get visitors.
