13L G40 Boldfresh vs. Karl7 (Allies +11) game 2

[Karl7]

move to 110 was mistake?

Huh, I thought it was rather shrewd.  I think you had to do something like that.  If I had my usual bad dice it would have been game over for me probably. Otherwise, if you did not force the issue while you still had an advantage I think the allies, especially with the neutral activation were ascending, however so slowly.

i gotta get some rest, i’m burning the candle at both ends… �up all night with the baby and
working all day (and trying to slip aa turns in between it all) was bound to catch up to me. �and then the dice finally fell HARD.

[boldfresh]

@Karl7:

move to 110 was mistake?

Huh, I thought it was rather shrewd.  I think you had to do something like that.  If I had my usual bad dice it would have been game over for me probably. Otherwise, if you did not force the issue while you still had an advantage I think the allies, especially with the neutral activation were ascending, however so slowly.

yeah was a total error.  was meant to sit in z104 and block in z110.

[Karl7]

No question my crying and bitching about the dice finally caught the attention of the dice gods.  I guess I can’t complain anymore….  :oops:

[boldfresh]

once i realized the error, then i hoped you would go ahead and attack it, cuz of course it could have gone well for me, or at least i would have even taken an even fight.  but that complete crushing really does me in.

[boldfresh]

it’s cool, let’s play it out.  who knows, maybe the dice will have more say.  no doubt that more than even the score.  20 hits to 8 in by far the biggest battle of the game.

[boldfresh]

it’s been a fun game, let’s see what else crazy can happen!  rock and roll baby!  :-P

guess i gotta take all my air at 111 and hope to get just as lucky (or luckier!)

[Karl7]

Hey got your messages.  I usually am totally game to redo errors, but given the length of this one I say we just go forward.  Sucky I know, but I think once your in this deep, errors are bound to happen.  I am sure I’ve made plenty.

Look at this way, if I win, we go to a 3rd game and you can punish me with great vengeance and justifiably stop me from correcting errors.  :lol:

But, all that being said, this game is not mine yet!  The dice may still have thrashing to do to me after being so generous.

Yes, 110 was is the biggest rout so far.  But you still have your airforce.

[boldfresh]

i agree.  let’s keep it going.  makes for a better story.  chaulk that request up to my sleep deprivation - onward my worthy foe!
