Fortress (Allies + 11) vs MiamiUMike (Axis): G40.2

[miamiumike]

No kidding - wow - wasteland

[Fortress]

It’s the Road Warrior of G40 games… We might as well just play Risk…

[Fortress]

I will never complain about dice rolls ever again.

Ok - I surrender - you win sir. I am quite seriously done playing this game for awhile. I need to just walk away and not play.

Forgive me for quitting - but - I just cannot deal with that. I know its only a game - but, I have never in my life seen that before and, I think I just lost the entire game over it. Wow.

Anyways - gg - and sorry about all this. You are a true gentleman of a player and when (if) I pick back up playing, I will look you up.

Until then - peace - enjoy the holidays and happy new year!

Going to post full turn for historical purpose….

[Fortress]

The next time I need a reality check when the dice aren’t going my way, I need to look back at this and acknowledge to myself that no matter how good the plan, it’s a game with dice…

Genuinely sorry about the brutal luck.

[miamiumike]

Well, again - I hope you do not think less of me for surrendering - I see no way to win now. Not only will UK have all its money to spend, I have no planes left. Plus, to be honest, this just isn’t fun anymore. And if I am not enjoying myself - win or lose (I enjoy games even when I lose because I treat them as a learning experience) - why play. In this case, all the joy has been sucked out of this game - and all my others to be honest.

Perhaps some time away will allow me to rediscover that joy - but not to be too dramtic, its gone now….

[Fortress]

Without making light of it, maybe some B.B. King would be appropriate, and put a smile on your face.

Good luck, Mike. I hope to see you again, soon.  :-)
