The dice made me sweat in SZ 42. Thought your Destroyer was never going to die!

[Gargantua]

FYI I accidentally clicked “retreat” from battle in Bessarabia.

I thought maybe it didn’t matter and I could just play forward, but looking at these NCM’s, I need that win!

Going to finish rolling it on the forum.

[Gargantua]

I wonder who it could be!

[Gargantua]

I have to say… Sz42 is a very well laid trap.

I don’t know that I’m coming to bite on it… even though it’s + 9 for me and -4 for you, and - your ships!

The cost is too great… both my battleships and my carrier are at risk… in fact the entire remnant of the IJN.

[Witt]

What did you mean trap?
I am not sure I saw that!
Some prick has taken a dislike to my liking Cromwell and conversing with him on our threads.
I hate small people with little minds.

[Gargantua]

It’s your sub in Sz42 that’s the problem, and your build with India. If I park in Sz42, my force can be overwhelmed and destroyed!

Leaving only the INDIANS with a navy in the pacific!  Unacceptable!

[Witt]

I did not like running from your Panzer in Africa, but I fear things are coming to a head in the Middle East/Egypt.
You might be the richest ever by turn’s end. Annoying.

[Witt]

@Gargantua:

It’s your sub in Sz42 that’s the problem, and your build with India. If I park in Sz42, my force can be overwhelmed and destroyed!

Leaving only the INDIANS with a navy in the pacific!  Unacceptable!

I like the sound of that. Can we give that a try?
Pacific is getting rather bare, navy wise.

[Gargantua]

I look forward to your Russian move.

You cannot be allowed to achieve victory!

You are too fast. I am trying to get drunk on my day off, not beat you at your own game.

[Gargantua]

Hahaha,

Get drunk then!

Or… bring the battle to me!  You are still doing very well, though making some strange moves. (Why did you retreat in the far east! You should have attacked my 1 inf 1 art!)

As for the complex’s in the middle east… I thought the ANZAC one was a joke… but you have maintained putting pieces there, and now it’s a big problem.

And with a russian one to support it… AND a massive allied fleet coming my way.  Italy has some big problems to solve fast.
