2014 Championship – (4) Ghostglider(+21) v (2) Gamerman01(Axis)

Yes, Dominion brought it up and listed 9 reasons I was in trouble, and I’m not going to just let that go.
It’s more fun for me if I talk about games in progress with my opponent and with others, but I understand your sentiment, which is a common one.  Can I say stuff like I wish I hadn’t landed the yellow tac on Bryansk?  I think I’m going to leave him there to face the wrath of the Red army

@Ghostglider:

It is very safe there :-) Lots of gray friends!

They are about to betray him I think

Italy will be done very soon, by the way, so if you’re still up…. but whatever, just giving you a courtesy heads up

Ahhhhh, perfect Italian dice to follow up perfect USA/UK dice
Now let’s avoid 6 on the convoy roll…

Your turn again

@Ghostglider:

You can comment all you like in this threat, because then I am sure to see it…
As you mentioned earlier misdirection is important in games, so please keep the comments coming!

I dont think I follow the other threats as much as you - that is why I would prefer only comment about our ongoing game here.

Ahhhhh, my man, this helps me understand so much
I am having no secret conversations about the game and am glad you also want integrity for the game.  If anyone talks to me about the game it hurts my chances anyway.

Will only be in this thread, then.  That’s fine

I don’t know about you, but I don’t mind if there’s a lot of posting in this thread.  I hesitated to invite anyone to talk here because I didn’t know if you would be OK with that…

I’m not worried about anyone giving away what I will do because I don’t even know what I’m going to do.  I have to see what you do.  Just ask my Japanese pilots in Bryansk after G14 if I know what I’m doing lol

Even if this was just a regular game, this is the best game I’ve had all year
Finally, someone who knows how to play the Allies

Hoo, boy, I have been sitting here playing too much A&A today already and this is another big move.  It probably wouldn’t be done by the time you turn in for the night anyway, so I will take a break and probably get it done in a few hours…  I guess I do mostly know what I’m doing - you have to, to do Italy’s turn…

You surprised me there - I thought I was going to be looking at an ANZAC naval base on New Guinea with 5 fighters to protect it…… well, you probably didn’t need it - I might need a triple destroyer block anyway.  Won’t know until Japan’s turn - I just don’t plan that far in advance believe it or not

Oh, my beautiful factories of the Third Reich…… four of them are in FLAMES

Hmmmmmm
If I was a good Hitler, I would leave the Russian ones in flames and rebuild Berlin to its former glory, but… you know… that’s probably not good A&A

I already changed my mind - this move is actually very easy, I’ve already figured it out when doing Italy I guess.  I don’t know how long you’re up, but I think I can move now….

You bet - thanks - I don’t think I’m going to need any decisions - going to leave London and Moscow alone I think
Have some nice A&A dreams

Wait, maybe I’m not going to leave London alone……

No, I am leaving it, false alarm
