getting too late, and too sloppy.  gnite
karl.

[boldfresh]

karl just hold off on russia - i have to do some more thinking on this
G22 noncom with a clear head.  thanks

[boldfresh]

we’ve come too far in this epic game for me to do something as thick headed as last time.

[Karl7]

Yes, understood.  It took me awhile to realize I had to move my fleet back with the Japanese sailing off Rome.  I’ll take a look but will wait until morning to move.

[Karl7]

I probably shouldn’t say anything, but Germany is exposed to a 1,2 punch.  Maybe a long shot, but at this point….

[Karl7]

hate to have the game end on a sneak move like last time.

talk about honor!  why am I saying this?

[Karl7]

Very fascinating strategy… you use Cairo to lock out Allied pacific forces and then double down with Japan against the Atlantic Allied forces, which also renders China useless.

Hmm… yet, Anzac continues to pump ftrs into Russia.

[boldfresh]

@Karl7:

hate to have the game end on a sneak move like last time.

talk about honor!   why am I saying this?

Heh now now Karl.  There is nothing I watch more closely than a 1-2 punch on germany.  But feel free totell me what you are planning all you want.

But the reason I asked for more time is I had a nagging feeling I was about to make a suboptimal move by going so quickly so late and sleep deprived.  So please just wait until I have had time to study the board further in depth and we can continue.  My xdap move needs to be the next move I make and on too of that weekend are toughest for me.
