@gamerman01:

No, that’s perfect.  Note that you do not have to list Chinese and US NCMs separately if you don’t want.

got it

[gamerman01]

I’ll get to it!  But I’d better take a break - my dice this morning have been craptabulous!  Losing 90%ers left and right.

EPl - ART, ARM (BSt) BMB (Ger)

Man, things are tight.  Definitely feeling the 12 bid all placed in the Russians’ western front, and the disastrous Z2 result…  Oh, and how could I forget - the pounding US SBR.  A lot of thought went into this move.  Hopefully being after 1:00 AM won’t affect the quality…

Whew - held off the hordes for one moment anyway…  Until the UK flies in.

Makes me feel good after all the thought I put into that turn that it wasn’t all dashed by a little luck on your part.  Hehe I guess you could have charged Bulgaria at the same time, IIRC, but you held off on that one.

Maybe later tonight I can go, I don’t know.

I’m really enjoying this game, JWW.  A lot of thinking involved.  Looks like I’ve found some competition.
