[gamerman01]

If Bold would ever give up, I’ll have fewer A&A games to play and you’ll be higher on my queue.

Thanks for the heads up - I’m in no hurry.  Also, I might go from having a pretty open summer to working overtime, within this week, so not sure about my own schedule…  Thanks again.

it appears, that you are in some serious trouble my friend.

[gamerman01]

@JWW:

it appears, that you are in some serious trouble my friend.

Yes, and that would be the first time since December….

If I don’t pull this one out, I’ll have to review it to see what happened.  All I can remember are all the times you got really lucky, and I remember you made a lot of good moves.  Probably a combination of the two that’s got me in this jam.  The problem with seldom being behind is I don’t get as much practice getting out of jams…  :-)
At least that fighter hit twice!

Surely there are times I’m not remembering where I got decent luck, but all I can remember is a lone infantry taking out a fighter in Manchuria, Z2 on G1 losing 2 subs and a fighter and getting nothing, losing 2 Italian infantry in TrJ and getting nothing…  Actually, now would be a good time for me to review the dice in this game and see what happened…  The way things are going in the tourney, we might be meeting in round 3, no?
