Oh there’s no doubt this game is yours. I’m just stubborn!  :-P

In a game with straight dice, I don’t like to surrender until it’s over and done.

If you remember, in the first XDAP game Infrastructure and I (Headless Neds) gave up after some very early bad dice, and you wondered why… well, he and I have been playing modified LL for years, so we were used to bad dice dictating a loss, since the version we played wouldn’t really allow for comegacms… so we gave up too early.

I learned my lesson, and I ain’t giving up for s&^%!  :-)

You deserve this win, so enjoy the big paydays, and lots of equipment, and bombing runs, and all that…

[Stalingradski]

Yeah, the word I was using back there was ‘comebacks’ and I mangled it horribly.

[Cow]

Well that game you conceded within the first two rounds, which I thought was too soon. You still had all your countries! This game you got USA and Russia… a couple of rounds and I think I can pull of a win. The full might of Japan is coming to get you!

[Stalingradski]

You don’t have to tell me… I can see it coming!!  :-D

[Stalingradski]

There is no win here for me. My pride was the only thing keeping me going.

Congratulations! You played a great Axis, and deserved the win. This is the worst loss I’ve had in years - I can tell you that - if this was football it was a 42 - 10 laugher. And I’m a fairly experienced player. Well done.

I’ll report it to Gamerman -

[Cow]

Axis are strong in global, add luck and there is nothing anyone can do. So no worries.

good game. Flip sides?

[Stalingradski]

Yes - where would you like your bid of 9?

[Cow]

inf new guinea. sub 98.

[Cow]

yeah egypt sub thing

[Stalingradski]

Got it - I’ll start it later tonight, after some food -
