Canuck12 (Axis) vs. Gargantua (Allies +12) G40 WITH TECH!

    @Canuck12:

    @Gargantua:

    Possibilities are the invisible units you can create - when a game is so close. :P

    I am glad you are enjoying them!�

    I must admit this has always been an aspect of the game you have played very well Joel.

    Well thank you for the compliment - But don’t count yourself short. You’re a very tough opponent these days, and you’ve seen almost all of my dirty tricks.

    It’s not like 5 or 6 years ago - when I got free transport pops every turn… and sea zones of error. Oh no…

    Every game we play is now a grinding, difficult, dangerous climb to a hopeful victory; where anything could happen.  This game is a good example of that!

    And lets not talk about that 42 game with the Russian Bomber…

    Hahaha! Has it really been that long? Christ almost, eh?

    Ah yes, the Russian bomber. You’re Achilles heel. I sincerely/sinisterly hope I can go the distance and end this one in a victory. It would make me very happy to win a second game where the first, and perhaps fatal, move was the purchase of a Russian Bomber

    Some very tough choices for Germany this turn.

    I’m excited to see what you do!

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    I have to say… in a twist of Irony, the Russian/German front seems rather bloodless this game.

    Certainly not the gruesome and dire imagery we’re used to seeing.

    Indeed. It seems we’ve both been occupied elsewhere.

    Feel like signing a non-aggression pact? :-)

    You know it’s funny… I spent a considerable amount of time (up to 15 min maybe) deliberating what to do with that AA gun…  Stuff it into Novgorod for a shot at planes, or, mush it into Finland to be as ‘potentially’ difficult as possible, and hold for the survival.

    Sometimes you just never know…

    You realise that’s an 60 IPC swing off of one fcuking dice?

    28 for the transports
    5 for Finland,
    6 for Norway,
    9 for the infantry
    11 for the tac
    2 for the IPCs I didnt get.

    That is to say nothing of the massive strategic shift it causes.

    Well… I hear your loss, and was thinking about dice outcomes -vs- real life battles today, and how sometimes you just don’t know what to expect.

    Regardless I’m not sure why, didn’t move your Battleship/Cruiser/Carrier to cover those transports?
