[Karl7]

A perfect german opening.  Can I resign now?

[Karl7]

I played over 40 games this season, and I can tell you they great real boring real fast when the dice are so lopsided.  In this instance, you have a tone of subs left meaning you will dominate the Atlantic, allowing you to take Cairo and then crush Russia.  A lot can still happen, but looking at this, I’d say you’re now a 65% chance winner.  Not a slam dunk, but you definitely can take your time.

But in the spirit of playing I’ll see if I can do anything to stop you.

You want to play with tech?  Don’t think it will make much difference.

[Karl7]

How about this, I’ll do Taranto and see what happens.  If I get killed, the game is yours.

The bid was based on no tech, which is how I am playing this game – tech is good after a solid strategy is known imho (and currently, I’m not seeing that in our league play in general – there are a lot of options).

Yes, Germany had a good opener, but certainly you cannot be stating that your game is already lost.  Otherwise, I should have resigned turn 4 last game.  You chose not to scramble, after all.

[Karl7]

The subs are the killer.  Having 4 subs survive is a big advantage to you.  I think the margines in this game are super tight.  Having and extra 30 ipcs off the bat is pretty good.

No, it’s not over, but a perfect German opening is pretty hard to overcome IMO.  As I say, if the game starts, say, 55/40 pr Axis, the dice tipped this one I think 65/35.

Ok, no tech is fine.  I’d probably waste my money anyway.  Traveling so won’t get a move in until probably tonight.

[DizzKneeLand33]

Hey, no worries about the speed of your turn.  Wishing you safe and contented travels!

[Karl7]

Yeah, traveling will give me time to think about how to avenge my dicing last time.  I’m still smarting at losing a 90% battle…. OUCH!

CVS sells special lubricated cream for that, I think.  :D  :mrgreen:
