'poligies!  It’s been a busy few days.  :-)

I wouldn’t call it a big chance - I do have the blocker.  But yea.  If dice favor you, things could get ugly.  Such is life!

Oh GOD DAMNIT!

That’s the third time I’ve forgotten about that stupid Russian sub!

Well, that’s game!  :-D

Nah - it was still a good move.  Sometimes you gotta take a chance.

But between that sub (clear out what, 3 separate blockers) and Popeye, it just wasn’t gonna happen!

I’m very much up for a rematch.  Maybe we should be bidding away Allied NOs instead of doing a normal bid.  What do you think?

Alright, so I’ll be allies this time, then?  Works for me.  Let me know when you need my scrambles.

Truthfully, it’s so difficult to separate bad play and poor choices from actual balance issues.

That’s cool.  See you then.
