OK, I just “lost” another game right before this one because of the victory city rule.  I know it’s a rule, and most people on here play by it.  I keep forgetting about that aspect of the game because I’ve been playing A&A in various forms for 30 years and no one around here ever uses it.  We just plays until the other fellow throws in the towel.

So, before I bother with my turn do I even have a chance, or is this one over on that technicality?  I don’t know the particulars of how it works, where you start counting VCs from, or when.

Thanks.  I’ll wait for clarification before I go.

Sounds reasonable. I’m in no way insinuating that you didn’t win the game fair and square, and I would love to play a no VC game, too (a man’s game  :evil:).

Still, I’m having a hard time figuring out if this game is actually over.  I think it might be because I can’t take back Egypt this round; however, maybe if I can take Tokyo with some fluky dice then it’s not over?  See my confusion?  I’m having a hard time getting my head around the victory city particulars as I never play with them.

My main reason for the message was to get confirmation on this matter…. and to express my disgust at losing a game I thought I had in the bag  :-P

I don’t want to sink mental energy into turns this round if it’s all for nothing anyway.

So if there’s a chance that the game will continue by the US taking Tokyo I’ll keep playing.  If it’s hopeless then I’ll just post your win, and if you’re into it we can start bidding on a no VC match.

Thanks.  I’ll look forward to your reply.
