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

cow please refrain from posting on this thread.

i enjoy game discussions and am happy to partake, but please post on a different thread or via p.m. and only discuss past events and not future moves.

@Boldfresh:

yes, it’s been a true pleasure to play with you gentlemen.  looks like you took cow’s advice and vacated west germany.   :wink:

dont worry, i have not looked at any of cows maps.

and i usually plan germany’s move on italy’s turn.

i have played cow realtime in the triplea lobby and would not be following his advice, although he does have the basics down as he has written “playbooks” that others find very helpful. if he suggested something that i had done it was probably an obvious move.

i assume the wink emoticon means you are joking, otherwise i would be insulted if you actually thought that i/we would not play our own strategy, in favour of someone elses.

@allweneedislove:

Your lips to God’s ears, my man.

AWN is better than me.

I tend not to revise my strategies and rather stick to overall concepts, which is good in live play because global is a long game and to complete a game I have to act quickly.

Also, everything I do has been put on the forum. People have done it, devised counter strategies, and so on.

Following my strategies would be bad against experienced players, because they have seen it.

I do not expect to beat AWN. I am going to take heavy risks and gamble.

So much better so much fun, lets start from scratch and blow up the sun.

That poor german unit :lol:

@Boldfresh:

i sure hope hank has his turn ready.  it isn’t like anything russia was going to do would affect it.   :-)

Ready to go. Will post after dinner or after the kid goes to bed. No significant dice rolls or decisions for the allies on this one.

Going to need a scramble decision in Carolines.

Map coming.
