  • Believe it or not, G had 30% odds in Iraq, which was the best in some time - and in my judgement better than our overall chances in the game. So with witt’s agreement, Adolf launched Operation Blitzkrieg! Turned into Operation Fiasco. -489 TUV! Started badly with 9 of 30 AAA hitting and went downhill from there. :cry:

    We concede Ed. Well played. You were squeezing the life of us! :-)


  • Thank you fir the gane . I enjoyed my end!

    I graciously accept on behalf of myself and Colt.  I checked my email just before going on a run and just missed seeing the slew of marti’s as the battle unfurled.  Wow, dice luck and AA dice luck finally favored me.  Yes the 9 AA hits doomed you from the start. And the sub with defense of 1, sank 2 attackers and lived.  The tide finally turned solidly in my favor, but didn’t seem certain until the Brits took Volg.  I enjoyed playing against both of you, and look forward to playing with you again some time.  I like your easy going style of play and you are both worthy opponents.


  • Kind words. We, too, have enjoyed it . We will contact you, when we feel we can play  another. I am glad you got a game with those other Americans (and Garg). They are very regular players , so you won’t ever be waiting long for your turn.

    I was so pre-occupied in ferrying American mech across Africa, that I suddenly realized that the disruption of the German resupply chain would allow me to switch to building art for all my tt’s and 2 new tt’s and invade S. Italy.  Then I could build more inf and art and park in the Eng Cha.


  • Good luck in your other games Ed!  :-D

    Thanks, doing great as Japan in 2-on-2 team “War is Declared” 1940 Global 2nd Ed.  Unlike you, I had great opening dice luck, which allowed me to completely conquer China by round 5 and now India in round 7.  All with only 1 Chinese IC.
