OK, OK.  Stick a fork in me, I’m done.  :-P

Well, I can definitely say that since you’ve joined AAA I’ve seen a steady improvement to your game.  I wish I could say the same for mine.  :lol:  I had some sh*tty luck with my air force this game, but I can’t pin this on dice.

Let me know if you’re up for a re-match.  I’d like another shot, same sides, same bid.  But if you’d like to change it up I’m OK with that, too.

[MarshmallowofWar]

Sure, that’s fine, we can play again. If you want to run the Axis though, I suggest we play with no bid – I firmly don’t believe that the Allies need one with a no VC condition.

If you want help improving your game I’ll be glad to assist, but I don’t want to upset you by offering unsolicitied advice.

[StuckTojo]

Well, if you’re going to offer ‘no bid’ I’d be a fool not to take it.  Much appreciated.  :-)

As for advice, how about this:  I’d be most grateful to hear any observations or suggestions you have, but I think they should be reserved for when the game is over, as part of the post-game discussion.  It’s probably irrational, but I feel that such discussions during the course of the game are somehow not appropriate, seeing as how the game is in progress.

While the game is in progress, however, I’m glad to let the ass-kicking you dole out be a lesson unto itself.  :-D

I’ll set it up and send you a PM when we’re ready for scramble orders.
