In other words, invincible heavy weapons! :-o :-o

What are the dimensions of that thing? It looks huge, which I’m sure it is!  :-o :-P

Ah, the usual set up.  We could always use the Tourney rules as our template for how things should go.  PBF, w/e dicey you want (Frood is popular).  Don’t know what else to tell ya.  Start soon, probably tomorrow.

Is there anybody here who would want to try and get in a game before the tourney?  You don’t have to be in the tournament for all I care, I just want to get in a game before the tourney starts.  Someone?

I’m actually in the middle of a game right now (I use a physical board - can’t stand the ABattlemap stuff), and even though it’s about to finish up, I’m leaving town for Christmas.  I’m not making excuses, but if we do “have at thee now,” Mr. Shakespeare, it’ll either have to be sometime next week or in the new year.  I’ve got a couple games about to happen with friends, so philosophies and the trading of barbs will have to wait for another time.

As much as I sometimes think I need a 10 bid at times, I would never in my right mind ask for one because I know I would never get it…not unless I’m playing against someone really inexperienced.  Besides, a 6-7-8 bid is roughly a good target to shoot for.  I like the 7 bid most.  It gives flexibility in what you can buy and where you can put guys.  Yeah, it could get a little predictable as to where, but not always with the what.

Since you’re so kind to your opponents and don’t want to let them plow through the candy store, how 'bout I just give you a 6  bid as well.  Even in my books, 8 is a little extreme, and I’ve only played a bit.  8 median bid, pfffft, my Canadian snowboot-covered field-goal kicking foot.  8-)

@cyan:

I’ve actually never played the allies for revised  :oops: this is all counter startegy(cause Japan is the best).

Eeenngggg, wrong, nope.  Germany is the best! Germany is teh pawnage!!!1111!!!1111!!!11!!1 CHINAINFISFORNOOBS!!! :mrgreen:

And yet U-505, your current opponent has a 7 bid.  Doesn’t that go against what you were saying? 8-)

@U-505:

I would never give my opponent more than 6 IPC’s as a bid. My bids are exclusively 5 or 6. 2 inf or 1 unit and/or cash to Japan is more than enough to make the game even. Giving a good player more than 6 is asking for trouble.

How is giving a 6 bid or more asking for trouble?  You’re saying that 7-9 would give the Axis too big of an advantage? How?

Oh man, some of you guys with your wacky buys must be smoking some of the owl’s crackpipes and downing some stale heineken bruskies!

@Jennifer:

Care to enlighten us?

Yes, why not post the exact rules that are being used for lowluck strat bombing.  I searched the forum but couldn’t find them.

Even before looking, I’m going to say that I’m sure I’m going to have a big problem with the approach to logistics.

In our next exciting episode, our resident crack pipe smoking owl “enlightens” the unwashed masses.

OR DOES HE?!!1!

DUN DUN DUN!

Personally, I wouldn’t take anything a crack pipe smoking owl said at face value . . .

Nor would I.  Nor.  Would.  I. …Or a beer swilling one either.

I too had a problem editiing my OOL. Are you gguys sayings take out the dash or leave it in?  Bcause I used the dash.

Why not just do a crossword instead?  No luck involved there, just yeer brain!!!

Anyone up for a game with a somewhat relative greenhorn who hasn’t played in 5 months?  I finally have a computer in my room so now I can play without having to run up and down the stairs.  Anybody wish to get started?

Actually, this raven has a pointy head and sounds like Bart Simpson and only really says “Never more.”  :-P :lol: Painbrush, stick to the sparrows and robins.  You can actually have a convo with them easier than the gently rapping, rapping raven. :roll:

It’s not possible to not move anything out of China.  The US goes “after” Japan, don’t forget, so no matter what you face, the minimum will always be 2 inf and 1 ftr.  Think about it. 8-)

Froodster, it’s only the second turn and already you’re turtling?? :-o :-o :?  The game is young dude.  And even though you seem to be on a roll as Japan so far, it’s not all sushi and green tea the further you get from your lovely fish capital!

So if I were to start up a bombing campaign, from what people are saying, only a couple each for the UK/US until they get shot down, and then buy again?  Well, as long as I could score some nice hit points of at least 5 to 8 on Germany and SEU, I’d be a happy camper.

Isn’t the spotted Owl an endangered species?  Or is it just a dangerous specie? :lol: :lol: :-P :-D
