[boldfresh]

this is where COWard would end up with about 8 units left in egypt.    :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[boldfresh]

go ahead and roll it Me.  i’m here to congratulate you on your win before heading to bed.  :-D

[boldfresh]

oh and by the way it’s now or never so good luck!!  COWLUCK in REVERSE!!!

[Me1945]

That’s it for today. Sweet dreams.

[boldfresh]

haha, ok buddy - too bad you’re out of XDAP….  ooops shoulda moved faster.  :evil:

[boldfresh]

i will admit your slow play lulled me to sleep in this one.  :-P

even though i know i would smoke you if we played again, i’d prefer not to play guys like you that move at the speed of frozen molasses and are anal retentive.

sweet dreams to you too…  :wink:

[boldfresh]

by the way, not a very smart move by you to give me a potential 13% chance of winning the game there.  it all came down to a 13%er in east persia.  :lol:

whether you know it or not.  :roll:

COWLUCK BABY : definition - luck beyond belief that saves one’s butt from CERTAIN defeat.  :lol: :lol: :lol:

[boldfresh]

shoulda just taken my time in egypt - i would have won if i’d just sent 1 transport a turn in.  i took the chance that you would miss reinforcing the inf in e persia, but how could you with 2 other people helping you… :lol:

it would have been hard work, but with japan waning and the USA power building, i think i could have traded egypt for a few rounds before locking it down for good.  oh well, just gonna be glad to be done playing you and your petty ways.  :-)
