13L G40 Boldfresh vs. Karl7 (Allies +11) game 3 THE RECKONING

[Karl7]

18?  :-o  Wow, good dice.

OOL is right up combat value. aa guns first

[boldfresh]

actually i think that was pretty much dead on average within one hit.  let’s see what yours do in response - they have been legendary as of late.

[boldfresh]

well karl, the other shoe had to drop at some point.  you were legendary alright.

[Karl7]

Average?  Ok, I just looked at the marti dice returns and saw a lot of 1’s.  I wish the results could be set up in way that would make it easier to see what hit and what didn’t…

[Karl7]

what happened?  did I get ZERO hits?

[boldfresh]

well your second round was much more respectable but by then it was far too late.

[Karl7]

looks like I got diced in India.

See, that’s what kills me. I get some good luck in little piss ant battles, and then when an important one comes up, I get killed….  :cry:

[boldfresh]

not by much really - i was exaggerating.  you were a couple hits short in round 1.

i have a quick edit.

[boldfresh]

that was a very minor dicing.  i think i had 2-3 couple more survivors than expected.  certainly nothing like the EPIC hit you put on my jap fleet last game…  :roll:

[Karl7]

but I lost India…  :cry:

very rude!

[boldfresh]

the relentless march continues.  i think that water buffalo baby is coming breach…  that’s gonna leave a mark.

[boldfresh]

yeah, you’re never gonna sniff india again.  two more rounds till the same result in moscow.  :roll:

[boldfresh]

i don’t take well to being given my first loss by way of an epic dicing
(although i take responsibility for letting you hang around long
enough to inflict it).  :evil:

[boldfresh]

just look at the board karl - it is hopeless for the allies.  SURRENDER NOW and i will be merciful - allowing your women and children to live (although they will still be my slaves).

[boldfresh]

i remember when i surpasses you in TUV last game and put it on cruise control…  then i started making a bunch of moves very late at night when i was apparently sleepwalking!  :lol:

[Karl7]

Geez, I am surprised you even deign to play me if it’s so easy….

@Karl7:

Geez, I am surprised you even deign to play me if it’s so easy….

i’m just talkin smack karl - don’t take it personally.   :-P

you are a dangerous player, especially if allowed to go into late rounds with the allies.

[boldfresh]

i clearly took you too lightly in game 2 and look what it got me.  on the other hand it bumped you back up to tier 1, where i hope you will now remain!  :-)
