The liberation of Western Europe has begun. Good on ya guys.

Passive aggression is lame.  This isn’t a beginner necessary tournament so you dont need to keep saying that.  The purpose/rules were to promote tripleA and to get people to partner up with new people.

Ok, nice work setting yourself up for the battle for Moscow this early ksmckay. This is it!

If it goes by odds, you’ll be in command of the middle of the board. If the dice go your way, it will basically be game over. If it sways our way, then we may pull this one out…

Took with a few more units than average so that will make it tough.  Its hard to believe how much Germany can get at Russia so quickly.  Other than the 3 bombers all of the russian battle was purchased by turn 2.  Faster than normal b/c I don’t think you realized how much I could bring.  With Russia being so aggressive you had a lot fewer units around then you probably needed to stave off a G5 attack.  Though if you could have held out a little longer the aggression might have paid off well.

[Stalingradski]

Yes, you did a great job with sheer aggression. I’ve never seen a G1 assault on Russia before in probably 30+ games of global, so I’d say we were all unprpared for the speed of it. We certainly wouldn’t have adventured both north and south if we had seen the writing on the wall. To be honest, the G1 attack looked like a mistake to me… I won’t make the mistake of overconfidence again!

Great work sir - we’ll have a team huddle and discuss if we want to continue -  :-)

[Major Major]

@ksmckay:

Passive aggression is lame.  This isn’t a beginner necessary tournament so you dont need to keep saying that.  The purpose/rules were to promote tripleA and to get people to partner up with new people.Â

So we should have kicked our newby out to give ourselves the best chance of winning.  Or do you not believe that a single player with your experience didn’t have the advantage?  I would not have commented at all if you had not made a snide remark about Russia falling to our newer player.  You are a very good player and obviously now to me anyway, full of yourself.  I have no problem with losing or your excellent play, but the nature of this tourney was to get people together and teach new people, it was not to rub it in the new people’s faces when you do better than them.

[Antholin]

Ksmckay, you did play a good Germany, and even though it was frustrating losing Moscow so quickly, I learned quite a bit and I am glad of the experience. There is no need for you to make such unsporting remarks against my play as Russia or the game thus far. This is supposed to be a game of learning for newer players, and above all just to enjoy ourselves. I have been having fun so far, and even after your immature remark, I will continue to enjoy this game and many others.

[ksmckay]

Wow you really pushed things up a notch from a simple comment made that was responded to b by a laugh and a smiley face.

Had no idea that my comment would provoke such anger.  Sorry to offend.

[Antholin]

Perhaps if you had included a laugh, LOL, and a smiley face,  :-D in your post, no comments would have been made. As you did not, the above was addressed to you.

[allweneedislove]

hello everyone,

another friendly reminder, there are 3 weeks left in round 3 of the tournament. please keep a fast pace to avoid going to a decision.

kind regards,
allweneedislove

[allweneedislove]

hey guys, please remember everyone is here to have fun.

i have read over all the comments in this thread and feel like no one started out trying to offend anyone. i think everyone might have made a bigger deal of things than they should have.

i hope both sides can move past this and enjoy the rest of the game/tournament

kind regards,
allweneedislove
