17 or 18L G40 Gargantua (Axis) vs AAGamer (Allies - HUGE bid)

JDOW

May I ask, did you not just redo the horrible G1 and continue with the second dice run?

If so, may I ask why and what the logic is behind this?

Seems in contradiction with giving a “huge” bid to resume the game because of poor dice?

JDOW

Man, those stupid typos. I ALWAYS type “not” when I want to type “now”

So to make sure not to be misunderstood:

I wonder why the current map does not contain the original (horrible) dice but the second set of dice which was way better.

I guess this does not conform with the league rules or the league spirit.

But let’s wait what Garg says.

I actually meant “restart” not “resume”.

@Gargantua:

My apologies - was away this weekend…

If you want to start a different game with the correct starting units and bids that is perfectly fine with me. I know I will make a few mistakes and hope you understand when I do so.

Alright - per your PM let’s get this restarted and on track; lol my apologies for contributing to the mess!

He asked - This is why

Gargantua

To further clarify - a series of technical errors occurred.

No one got any dice emails, (and we’re still having issues) and the bid was placed in a balanced mod map.

I went to reset up the map and AAg respectfully suggested/requested a total restart.

This is his first game. And I’d prefer we didn’t make a spectacle out of this thread or his opening experiences with us in the league!

If you have a problem with something - PM me directly.

Omega1759

With the eye catching “HUGE bid”, looks like you wanted attention on that game. :lol:

Gargantua

Lol fair enough.

I thought 40 was a large bid! But maybe not these days when 35 bugs aren’t outrageous.

I look forward to seeing how he does with his tanks in eastern front

40 is a fair bid against a master Axis player. For a newcomer playing one of the top players in the league, a bid of 100 or so would be large, but not huge (as Arthur Bomber Harris showed many times).

JDOW

Agree😀

Gargantua

Looking forward to Allies next move!
