@souL:

gg

Yeah, it’s definitely over.

gg to you too.  Thanks for another great time…

And once again, congratulations, Dad!

[souL]

Thank you!  I made a few mistakes (throwing away the british fleet) and those cost me.  I should have challenged it by moving into sz 6 earlier than I did.  IIRC, I felt like 1-2 more hits in that battle (and I was well below where I wanted to be) and I was going to go at it.  Luck ran out though, and I had a load of it early.  I honestly didn’t expect you to make that mistake and lose India (feels like it was an error, anyhow) or I definitely wouldn’t have thrown my fleet away.  I thought maybe it happened because you just had that crushing victory.

[gamerman01]

Man, you have a better memory than me or maybe I’ve been playing too many at once…  all I remember was tough dice early on… but one more time - you are much improved and your 2012 record showed it.  It was a great accomplishment to pull this one out, because you just don’t make big errors any more.

See you around!

[boldfresh]

epic comeback, congrats gamer.

[gamerman01]

Thanks a lot -

the going got especially tough when my Jap fleet attack failed miserably in the early going - I think it was an attack on Z51
