Didn’t get 'er done even with an extra hour.  I’m too tired to make a move now - shooting for Sunday.  Just wanted to let you know I haven’t forgotten and am not trying to stall….  But I have the tournament and the league playoff games that are priority, as you know…

Wow.  :-o

Some weird dice this game.  Luckily for me, you’ve gotten the worst of it.  I’m not sure if attacking with 99% odds would even be safe.  lol!

I know!  I was about to quit, but then I thought what if I get a 1% result when you attack me?  Most people like to play when they’re winning, so I’m guessing you’re fine with continuing……

[DarthMaximus]

Yeah, I don’t mind continuing.  I assumed you’d wait for either Berlin or Rome to fall or maybe you were waiting to try and catch an under defended UK and get a sneak attack that way.

I tend to enjoy the early rds of an undecided game the most.  IMO once a game is decided  (winning or losing) it becomes less fun and depending on how long it goes, it can be tedious.  Playing a game for 40 rds, when it is decided in rd 20, isn’t as fun (even if I’m winning).  I’d rather call it and spend those extra 20 rds on a new game or two.  I like long games if they are truely undecided and toss-ups, but in terms of game playing the fun for me is trying to get to that early leading/winning position.  Sometimes taking a capital or wiping out an army is just a formality, so it may not be as fun as the lead up to that battle.

On a side note, I like the challange of playing the Allies in 50 (I loved playing the Axis in Classic and Revised for the same reason) which is why I may under bid them from time to time.  And I actually hate doing J1 and 2.  Even though I may have standard starts in terms of buys and combat moves, I just hate doing all those battles. lol!

[DarthMaximus]

I forgot, I’ll probablly have US up tonight or tomorrow.

At your convenience - my tournament and playoff games are keeping me pretty busy for now anyway.

No, I totally agree with what you said about playing meaningless rounds….  Yes I am close to quitting, but not until Berlin or Rome falls without a way to get it back…

Yeah, that totally makes sense.  And I do the same thing.  Sometimes the major battles can be so costly (to the attacker) it might leave the door open etc…

Yeah, I have a couple games I’ll move in before this one, but I don’t like to leave my turns hanging for too long (if I’m not busy that is), or I forget what I was going to do.  lol!
