XDAP2 - Round 1 - Atlanta Axis vs. Boldman

[Elrood]

@Soulblighter:

You assume they reach the finals.

To the Pits with the lot of you!  :evil:

Curious: is something out of the ordinary with that particular game? (In regard to gargantuas comment) or is it just looking like axis is going to win in a nice fashion?

[boldfresh]

Alright guys let’s stop the discussions of strategy for the time being.  I will be conceding soon enough.

[boldfresh]

will concede immediately if I fail to take Rome

[Soulblighter]

To Rome!

:)

I am bowing out now - like rats leaving a sinking ship
Bold is gracefully releasing me
I am holding up the league championship playoff as long as I spend hours on this fun game, but I have declared our chances at less than 5-10% now.
That was a good Japan move there.

Have fun everybody, and Atlanta Axis better watch out after we work our way through the losers brackets and rematch for the championship  :wink:

You assume they reach the finals.

my money is on Ancients

Apparently you are unfamiliar with Yoshi?

[boldfresh]

Our first ever game playing together.  I told gamer it was unfortunate for us to draw a top competitor with plenty of experience playing together….

Well, that made me watch a 1971 movie…… Steven Spielberg’s first, eh?

Best part was the sounds of the car and the truck… and the trains

Typical disappointing ending
Another sloooooooow Steven Spielberg movie (like E.T.)
But overall, enjoyed it.

[rgp44]

is this a discussion board or a game thread?
