    @LuckyLindy:

    A lot of good men died today.

    Yeah, and a bunch of Russians, too.


  • I have a letter here, written a long time ago, to a Mrs. Bixby in Boston. So bear with me. “Dear Madam: I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, Abraham Lincoln.”

    Yep, it’s a good thing they’re just little plastic army men in my living room (or virtual pixels on the internet)

    I’m exhausted.  The battle for Moscow will have to wait until at least tomorrow.

    Hold on a minute… miscounted…

    ?? I’ve held on for 17 minutes……

  • 10

    Well, I was interrupted.  Let’s do 1 Russian arm, 2 Brit fighters.  That leaves me with 1 Russian arm, 1 Russian ftr, and 2 Brit fighters, correct?

    Every big battle…. you have dodged yet another bullet.  But the end is inevitable.
    Z6, Z14, and now this.  Will just take longer to win now.

    I have to go.  Can’t finish the turn now, since you had a 40 minute casualty choice

    Let me know when you two are finished. I’ve got the winner. GL

    Guys, just a reminder to keep it clean.
    Lets just finish this game up and move on.  I’d like to see it done by Labor Day at the latest.  If we can keep turns to a 48 hr window (or less) that’d be great.

    If you guys can’t continue or no longer wish to play each other, I may be forced to make a call.
    You guys would be able to submit battle plans (via PM) to me, so you could make your case.  But I absolutely hate judgment games, and seeing as you two are easily two of the top players I hope it doesn’t come to that.

  • 16 15 10

    I wouldn’t want to be in charge of adjudicating this game.  Too close to call.

    I hope you guys can put aside your grievances soon and commit to finishing…  Even with daily turns I could see another month or more of action ahead.

    I’ll echo that. I have been keeping to a strict practice in this game of posting only, without comments.  The tension seemed the abate over the past few weeks so I relaxed that some. But, I made no comment about the dice and made no taunting.
