2014 Championship – (4) Ghostglider(+21) v (2) Gamerman01(Axis)

[gamerman01]

Nah, it’s pretty clear you need them in Paris to prevent a take-back.  I’ll just lay off Holland with Italy… none of this matters

[gamerman01]

I’m going to assume UK AA to Finland

[gamerman01]

You got a fantastic result with the UK AA being in Finland - wiped out both Italian units in exchange for a single AAA so I don’t think there will be any protest there.

Pretty sure the French stay put in Paris.  So I’m playing Germany too

Change the survivor in Persia if you want to - I left a Russian tank

Russia’s turn doesn’t affect Japan’s, so I will play Japan too, to speed the game.  Just edit Russia’s units, roll dice on the forum, and then you can proceed with USA and UK

I am so tired of the dice extending this game.  Maybe THIS time…… you’ll finally run out of luck

I am OK with you rolling the dice for the must attack on India with the USA right away IF you will then not attempt an attack on Tokyo or Manila.  If you’re not OK with that, then run Russia and the USA as normal

Now be a good boy and die

[boldfresh]

What are the odds on Tokyo or Manila?

[gamerman01]

Tokyo’s like 1-2%, Manila might be 17, I don’t remember

Still working out that Houdini act…
