XPAD2 Game 21 Dicer's Creed (axis) vs Team GARL (allies+12)

This is a very interesting turn for Italy.  A lot of strategic decisions to make, and a lot of variables.

Tough to say for sure what I would do.

The wisest course of action would be for Italy to declare war on the neutrals.  It will really open things up…. lots of possibilities there…

Wisdom. :)

Fortune favors the bold UNLESS your name is Bold.

@seththenewb:

I think I have a good idea of what I’m going to do, just waiting on input from my partner. He’s busy right now, but he should be coming back to me later, so expect Italy to post sometime tonight.

And man oh man . . . Java was just simply . . . wow those were some DICE! I’ve sacrificied a lamb to the dice gods and performed a ritual cleansing in order to appease their wrath … . hopefully it has an effect.

LOL - Glad to have you back man.

or Dicer’s Creed…

then it just knifes you in the back.

KILL!

Quintilius Varus, give me back my legions!

Gents, I am traveling with my family, so getting some quality minutes to look over the map is rough, and obviously I need more than a few minutes given the situation as it is.  So, I asked Seth to hold off for a bit so we can get on the same page.

Wisdom…  and you have earned right to take some extra time.

Take your time.  My only fear is that seth will disappear for another week again! :(

The planners plan but planning won’t do you any good when DOOM has arrived…  :evil:

Uh, oh…. not again!

For my man Karl.

Some Tank - KILL KILL KILL!
