X-DAP-04 TeamBoldDutch vs. Ancients for 1945

@Boldfresh:

@allweneedislove:

only 5 days left in round 4 of the tournament.

ancients, please try to play as fast as possible. this is still a close game that will have to go to decision. the more rounds played the better.

…alas, it was just for a time warning.   :|

not a time warning, just a friendly reminder of the deadline. i hope there are several more turns to be played to make the decision more legitimate. or better yet play realtime in the triplea lobby to finish the game

One is sick, the other on business travel. Russia will come up later tonight.

Sorry for the delay… in the midst of a 1 foot blizzard here in Colorado. Had to go out and get some karma helping neighbors…  You’ll find that it worked well in Jordan.  8-)

Delicate planning needed, I guess you agree (actually, its even your fault)  :wink:

Without that, we would not have given you this interesting game so far  :-)

I will post my evening, worst case either Me or Trajan post your night.

@Boldfresh:

the allies are indeed smack-dab in the middle of a trick bag

Definition of “trick-bag”:
280 TUV worth of Axis military troops and hardware stuck smack dab in the middle of Iraq, surrounded on all sides by the Allied forces, North, East, and West, with nothing but the sea to the South.

far more enlightening (to me) would be the definition of “smack dab”.

I am not a native speaker, come on, let me know!

Wow, this is a close game  :-o

yea, you scare the hell out of Boldfresh!!

Maybe DeadTom is referring to the level of IPCs. Quite close for round 9.
