2014 League Playoff - Ghostglider (4) vs. Boldfresh (5)

it’s a shame - i think it would have been a really interesting scenario developing had i not let that fleet sink for nothing.

epic convoy roll.  now lets see about giving you a 74% shot in rome!  :wink:

to top for your convenience. probably a good thing that i’ll be getting eliminated.  the rest of this year is even more insane.

oops hang on - forgot my ships down at sydney

here you go.

what i wouldn’t give for a nice sized med fleet right now.

@Ghostglider:

Would be simple for you to buy… Both Italy and Germany can build in z97 - Actually I think you should spend more money on navy  :roll:

no that ship has unfortunately sailed or I mean sunk

i guess jehol is where i’m gonna catch my big break - 72% attack, right in that sweet spot!  :lol:

course i was hoping part of that break would include a bomber or two downed by rambo in chahar.  guess he was not feeling well today.

the fact that my infantry defense hit rate has been hovering in the single digits has not helped me much.

i’d still be losing but boy it would sure be nice to catch some hits on defense one of these days…  :lol:  i feel a lot like hobo right now.
