Dark indeed.  Those pilots are lucky they didn’t make it back home.

[Shin-Ji]

Actually, you know what?  I’m gonna concede the game at this point.  I don’t even understand why I thought taking those territories was important.  I kept hoping for some light there, but there just didn’t seem to be a way out of that vise.

Excellent play!

I think you missed my concession!  :-D

[Shin-Ji]

So, how do you feel about a rematch?  We’re 2 and 1, so we can keep going.

[MrRoboto]

I absolutely did miss your concession, yes.
What a game again. 18 Turns. Wow. The last game took ages already. The games against you are one of the most interesting ones.

Of course I want another rematch. I want to make it 2-2, so we can even have a fifth, afterwards! :-)

Side wish?

[Shin-Ji]

I was thinking we’d keep switching back and forth.  So I’d be Axis this time.

[MrRoboto]

[Shin-Ji]

I have now!  http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=37540.new#new
