Super fun weekend all around, and those house rules were cool, man! Sorry it took two tries on Moscow, but hey, end of the day we got to re-write history while eating amazing barbeque, drinking good beers, and yapping with cool people. Loved it.

TheMethuselah

I expected to write another concession here due to my inactivity, but I see you’re in a similar position.

I certainly won’t be claiming a victory as you’ve been so patient with me already. Will check back here occasionally to see if you resurface, but I have not much time for A&A these days :/

TheMethuselah

Many apologies to the warriors for being such a wayward opponent. They were excellent opponents and 100% deserve the win. Best of luck to them in future rounds!

TheMethuselah

Just saw your post in the game results thread and replied there. Thanks again for the fun game and sorry for the drop!

Adam514(allies+17) wins vs TheMethuselah(axis)

No post in a while, he did seem like he had a chance to win too.

Just posted a concession in that thread and was going to post here myself. I’m resigning all my games due to just not having the time anymore to play carefully. Great game by Adam, and he absolutely deserves the win. Would have been interesting to see if Cairo could have fallen, but the window was shutting pretty fast.

TheMethuselah

Hey Adam, I no longer have the time to play games here like I used to and am going to go ahead and concede this one. But man, this has been an incredibly fun ride! Thought for sure I was a goner when my Japan gamble failed; it’s honestly a bit ridiculous that I even still have a shot at winning here :lol:

Thank you very much for a good, clean game of A&A. You played well and absolutely deserve the win here.

@Odonis:

Don’t know where my partner has gone… I will say we will concede this one as it does not bode well…

Good game, well played and sorry for the delays!

You may want to post the win.

Terribly sorry to all for going AWOL so much these past months. I echo the comments from my partner: you both played a great game and were very gracious in dealing with us. I wish you good luck and fun games in your future rounds!

I apologize for my lack of speed the last month or so. I really think this is an interesting game and would like to see it through to the finish. I should have time tomorrow evening to do my next move.
