G-20 6th turn without getting tech, that’s 17 dice.
@fmerwinrommel :-(
@fmerwinrommel I daresay techs become more relevant in late game, because of potentially more available units to boost… e.g. creeping barrage with 40 Arts > creeping barrage for 10 Arts…
So not succeeding in tech hurts each turn a bit more…

@Colt45554 My turn to get smacked in Picardy and not take it due to great defensive shooting. But it was likely due to the Brit reinforcements, who outnumbered the French troops.
At least I bested the Ruskies in all 3 battles, especially Norway. Counterattacked with my entire Swedish army and air support.

@Entek 39645 Austria edited.tsvg
Thanks for the loan of the Austrian cav
Should be able to do my go tonight when I get home from work.
Yesterday was the 127th running of the Boston Marathon… Its the oldest, most famous and prestigious modern marathon. Its been ten years since the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15, 2013. The race is always run on Patriots Day, which is always on a Monday.
I commemorated it by running 3 1/3 miles around the neighborhood in my 2013 running outfit that my wife bought at the running store at the finish line, just hours before the bombing.
Being a New York born Yankee, I didn’t appreciate Boston until I ran the 2009 and 2013 marathons and experienced the hospitality of the city and the comradery of the friendly worldwide competition. That’s what made the bombing so senseless and sad.
In 2013, I crossed the finish line 23 minutes before the bomb blasts. My time was 3 hours, 46 minutes. Pretty decent for being 65 years old at the time. I felt bad for those who were prevented from finishing, after running 25 miles, because the race was halted.
@fmerwinrommel wow! You ran a full marathon in under 4h? And that at 65 no less! I am really impressed
I am also 65 and managed 100 yards in 4 mins 57 seconds recently. Do I also merit your accolades Seb?
