Mr. Roboto (allies +9) vs Hank (axis)

@MrRoboto:

Man this is annoying. Just cause I didn’t pay attention to the Moscow threat, this game is in jeopardy. It looked so well otherwise.

Me 3 turns ago: Man this is annoying. Just cause I didn’t pay attention to (insert about 5 things here), this game is in jeopardy. It looked so well otherwise.  :)

By the way, I think I am enjoying this game more than any other I have played in awhile, despite my numerous near-fatal errors! I would chalk that up to your speed and aggression!

By the way, I think I am enjoying this game more than any other I have played in awhile, despite my numerous near-fatal errors! I would chalk that up to your speed and aggression!

To compare:

I started another game the same day as this one (within an hour or so). We are currently on G4 - a reasonable pace, but nothing like this game.

@MrRoboto:

Yeah the game is really fun.

Let’s see what happens after you get Moscow.

Btw I changed my mind about my purchase half-way through. But that decision wasn’t affected by any battles. I hope you don’t mind. Otherwise, feel free to give me the 2 subs on the westcoast again via edit, instead of the 3 mech in normandy :-)

No problem. It took me forever to figure out the German purchases. I think we have reached a point where one little misstep will tip the game.

@MrRoboto:

and btw, no matter who wins - I’d enjoy a second game against you :-)

Definitely, but I’m going to try a lot harder not to do stupid things in our second game!

@MrRoboto:

my move is on the other page. it’s your turn :-)

Yep. I’ve already opened it. Apparently you can only neglect your child to play AA for so long before they get upset :)

Turn coming soon.
