XDAP Final… eh, i mean, Semifinal - Allweneedishank vs. TeamBoldDutch

Sure, they have never seen 2 mech go from c us to central America.

He’s protecting the homeland jerk!  Just because Hitler empties out his capital doesn’t mean my citizens will tolerate it.

True story, a lone aa gun saved my butt against a buddy of mine.

We were playing classic A&A and Japan was kicking butt as usual (hint I was axis). The axis were poised to win with Japan controlling Asia and the Pac. So Japan sent it’s navy to the med to help Germany stay alive and Russia had just been taken by Japan.

We were playing with Paratroopers and he somehow snuck a US bomber in range of a completely empty Japan save a lone aa gun. He flies said bomber with a little infantry to walk-in. Note, all my production had been going towards the mainland factories and the nearest IJN transport was 3 moves away from recapturing it.

I had to roll the aa gun to save my capital from being sacked and all the plunder money from Moscow + Japanese production from falling into the wrong hands. Needless to say, my aa gun rolled a ‘1’ and I ended up winning the game. I was always extra cautious about his bomber location from then on.

Yeah, I thought so too. My buddy however was pretty pissed at me for awhile. He laughs at it now, but oh boy he could’ve passed for a tomato there for a bit, he was THAT pissed.

Seth, you are a complete weasel for rolling that 1.  He deserved to take it.
Curse of the clever.

@Boldfresh:

hmm not the attack i thought you’d make…

after seeing the results, it’s not the attack i should have made.

yeah after seeing the aaguns sharp shooting, i thought it was going to be a disaster.

definitely did not turn out to be a disaster, just bad.
