Good!

Hehe

Thanks, I still gotta take care of business (and fast) with maroon and AeV

You bet, man, thanks for the good times and for squeezing one in before 10/31 for me

Congratulations!

It was an epic game!

@Boldfresh:

it doesn’t say much.

for sure.  more of a joke game

It’s not the size of the bid as much as how you use it.

Well said. :-)

Sure thing, will do, thanks again

Thanks a lot, guys, I had fun and thanks for the well wishes!

At least now you don’t have tournament and elimination pressure!!

Hope to see you on the battle board again some time

Thanks, Zhukov, it was an honor to play you in the playoffs.  You already said everything really very well, so I will be brief.

I also think I won the game in the bidding, because I saw your Axis play and it looked great.  I think I had an advantage of more G40 experience.  However, I was really pretty stunned that Japan did so well so quickly, going on the offensive after only about 6-8 rounds.  I think you split up your Chinese and Indian units around round 4 to go farther north and that was maybe a mistake - they needed to stick together and I was able to split them.

Thank you for sticking with me through the long delays of the spring when my work schedule was busy, and you kept up a good pace when I came back, considering you were playing from behind for many rounds.

Yes, I have learned in recent games that Japan’s fleet is more important than quick short term gains on the mainland, and like you, I think, I am a big believer in transports over complexes.  I knew I was playing a grizzled veteran of A&A, so I gave this game my 100% best.  I am maybe just a little farther down the G40 learning curve than you right now, and you of course will continue improving your game.  I am relieved to advance, and look forward to trying to defend the title.

Good game

Thanks for a fun game!

Indeed it was a pleasure, and I will just look forward to playing with you again whenever that may be.
Good luck in your quest, and happy gaming

I meant his patience and reasonableness, but yes he’s one of the strongest players around

Wait, you’re playing him?  He beat Amon?  If so, that’s why I was confused.  I don’t have him as the winner on the bracket (over Amon)

What do you mean you missed all in Carolines?  Looks like you got several hits, looking at the dice e-mails…

Shoot, sucks to lose that way, but JDOW has already said it well.  I’d better take it if I can get it.  And on the bright side, it will never happen to you again!

Thanks for the fun game and for the good sportsmanship, if you want a rematch I may be able to accomodate
