[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.

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?

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

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

Yes. With the given result a full stand with all Fighters could have been fatal for the Germans. Glad the Brits are such nits :PPPPPPP

ha, well it would have been only 3 more ftrs anyway…. not enough to win.  Besides that extra fire power would have pushed the dice so the Allies would have rolled terribly… such is the moodiness of the MARTI God

Yes. With the given result a full stand with all Fighters could have been fatal for the Germans. Glad the Brits are such nits :PPPPPPP

[JDOW]

You could brought all 5 figs + bomber in. those at Egypt were on the US carrier which could have brought them closer. What you actually did.

[boldfresh]

jdow and karl - are either of you able to help me figure out where we currently are at in this tourney?  updated brackets and results in the pits?  i’m insanely busy right now.

[JDOW]

Sorry Bold. This was another reason I refused to take over. I would need to start from scratch to see where we are and where all infos and rules are located.

So I am not of any help in this matter :-(

[Karl7]

@JDOW:

Well, so it goes. As I say, the battle calc gave you a very decisive victory even with all in.  So, things turned out better than if we had gone all in I guess given you can never count on the dice helping you.

Bold, I have no idea where the tourney stands.  I can ask Garg.

[Karl7]

what the what here?

I am on my own now, so… Wheat’s move?
