Well, that just about ought to do it. British fleet is doomed. Looks like a gg G2 coming on this one sigh

Dutchman, it looks like it’s not our year.  I goofed up big time and gave Gamerman Russia and her 32 IPC’s in Round 3 and you are getting slammed by the dice.  Looks like Round 1 of the playoffs is going to be a big letdown and it will be Zhukov and Gamer slugging it out for the championship.  :|

Cheers

[Zhukov44]

lol let’s not jump to conclusions just yet.

Faced with another tough decision here.  Italy 1 was similar.  Because of DD’s unconventional bid and my unconventional G1 reaction and finally the lopsided round 1 rolls, this game is pretty unique.

[Zhukov44]

Sorry for the delay DD.  Been thinking about this all evening and I’m still undecided and would like to sleep on it.  I’m sure once this turn is over I’ll be moving pretty fast (hopefully no more big decisions for a while!).  Also, I’m off next week so hopefully I’ll get caught up on all these matches.

[Zhukov44]

gonna have to go with my gut on this one….which is not to push my luck.  If this were low luck I wouldn’t hesitate to attack for at least 1 round, but right now I’m in no mood to try a 40%.

Hey dd I’m sorry for the inconvenience but I’d like to adjust my ncm…coming up.

[Zhukov44]

Yeah, I guess I was so emeshed in the debate of whether to hit sz7 I didn’t fully think through the ncm…the exceptional nature of this game so far presents alot of challenges.

Well, this is just about an impossible of a move as I can imagine.  Nice Ukr stack. My plan was to take out Italian fleet UK2, but your G1 open changed things… with the Alg rolls, it probably would have failed anyway.  :-P

Risky business here, but I am behind 8 Ball already.
