:) Now I see I should have walked into Alaska, but that is totally different - I completely missed it in combat move so would absolutely never ask for something like that.
Yes, thanks for allowing FWA which was absolutely intended

Russia is making the 1000 TUV milestone. I am not sure I have ever had a nation with 1000 TUV, maybe in BM, but dont think I have had that in this version before
Yeah, I resign!
I think the first round back in January 2024 decided a lot and then the dice and some opportunities let me back in the game. You locked it down and played with patience, very well done.
On the one hand, I would want to continue to see what continues to happen but I’m running out of growth opportunities. And the US has heavy bombers. I’m not even going to roll some dice for tech before deciding.
On the other hand, it’s a slog that is taking a lot of time and energy out of both of us when it’s our turn.
Very well done, earning a long hard win and not forfeiting the good start.
We started out just experimenting with a novel map and throwing in tech just to make it even more interesting and ended up with a 29 month game. The first 5 rounds of disorientation were pretty wild and we both had to survive that too.
okay. I just want to acknowledge I have seen your post. I have many comments and questions. In all my years here this has been the most frustrating game I have ever played, but also the most fun game I have ever played. It is sooooooo much stuff here to talk about. I am busy now, but will try to comment on a couple of things over the next few days. i hope that is okay
Oh, that’s unexpected but great!
Now we can talk freely since the game is over. Are you considering asking @crockett36 to do a video by any chance? We could ask him to not say much if we want to do mostly 1 on 1 discussion, just curious what you think. You know I like talking, and we’re both avid A&A fans, so you name it.
