[Gargantua]

Sorry Gents.

I will have to take an official/permanent leave of absence from this game, and let Karl proceed.  Karl is welcome to choose a new partner.

Between Work/Life/and an Election, I am just not getting computer face time AT ALL.

I will also need some help moderating the tournament,  if JDOW or Bold, or BOTH of you are interested?  Just keep chasing the matches,  help with any fights….

I hope to be back in force soon…  depends on my next job placement, and when that will take place.

[boldfresh]

The unholy duo of Bold and JDOW to officiate the remainder of the tourney??  What do you say JDOW?

[JDOW]

Hey Garg,

thanks for the update. Hope we will see you back here soon and too bad we do not see the outcome of that game with the initial team.
I am indeed curious if you would have played Russia and UK the same way?

Would you have made a stand in Russia? If so, would you have made a full stand with ALL available UK air? Would you have slammed UK ground units + shore bombardment into Ukraine to weaken the attack at Russia?

Regarding moderation:

I need to refuse the offer to moderate the tournament, sorry gents.

The fact to share the responsibility with Bold almost changed my mind, sounded like fun. But frankly, I would not be happy to have any kind of burden besides the games I choose to play. Sorry about that.

But how about Karl/Bold? I guess you guys would make a good moderator team, too?

Cheers,
Tobias

[boldfresh]

The unholy due of Karl and Bold with advice from JDOW when solicited?  Sounds good to me.

That was Garg’s original thought…. he he he… but he thought differently…  :wink:

Nonetheless, the Allies are on the ropes here.  Let’s just see if they get lucky!  (Probably not).

[JDOW]

I would consider the dice very lucky for the Allies.

70 TUV below expected. I guess was was bottom 20% or so.

[Karl7]

@JDOW:

wow!  Ha. Garg and I ran the numbers and saw it was futile to go all in.  So, we thought just a token resistance was best. Maybe we should have gone in after all…. :-P

[Karl7]

map?  Are there even any Russian units left?
