That does China in.

[Gargantua]

Roboto…

Why are you moving Russians units on the American turn?

[Gargantua]

I don’t mind EDITS on your own turn, or edits on subsequent turns, but you need to explain what you are doing, especially if it’s out of sequence.

For example… Japan’s forces in China would have been moved differently had I known I now face a BOMBER and PLANES from Moscow that Magically moved there.

Not cool dude.

[Gargantua]

What other Magical Manuevers have I missed?

[Gargantua]

Yeah man that’s total horse dung.  Now you can attack my forces in Northern Russia, which would not have advanced if the counter had been obvious.

And you haven’t even asked for the edit. Bull s h i t on your part.

And you tried to cover it up by not posting your American move?  What else haven’t you posted? do I have to double check all your purchases too?

[Gargantua]

Before I post to the entire site that you cheat.  Do you care to explain yourself?

If you feel like you’re losing and need an edge, just say so, and I’ll shoot you some technology.

That Russian Bomber was already a freebie.

[MrRoboto]

Dude,

i did not intentionally “not post the american turn”. I simply forgot it, cause the chinese and uk turns are right afterwards.
I actually only moved the bomber, cause u edited your infantry to norway. it became apparent to me, that you will now land in leningrad.

Since i didnt want to repeat my whole russian turn, it was ok for me to only save the bomber.

Lets calm down a bit and find a simple solution -> i will not use the bomber against japan next turn and i think everything should be ok then. do u have any problems with that?

[MrRoboto]

Besides - I’m expecting to lose this match. you’re a much better and much more experienced player. I’m simply trying to give the best fight i can and learn from you. I don’t try to cheat or “cover something up” to enhance my chances, cause winning isn’t my number1 priority here - my #1 priority is giving the best i can, trying to make as few mistakes as possible and learning from you.

[Gargantua]

I accept your statements.

For the record, even if the troops in finland never moved, they could still make it to Leningrad.

and… you moved ALL of your planes, not just the bomber.

I accept your proposal of no russian bomber against the Japanese.

[Gargantua]

I will give you some fun technologies next turn to help you in your plight.  We’ll try to keep things interesting.

For the record, you are putting up a decent fight, just keep it coming and learn from your mistakes. ;)

[MrRoboto]

Oh yeah, i moved all the planes, right -> so no planes vs japan next round.

I’m not so sure where my big mistakes were. I had some bad luck in africa -> if i would have conquered italian somalia, i wouldnt have lost my transporter there and i wouldnt have the need to split my british fleet neither.

obviously i didnt protect leningrad enough -> on the other hand leningrad will always fall if germany advances there. So if you can point out some of my mistakes, that would be great, since i dont really know how to improve at the moment (for future games)

[Gargantua]

I’ll review the game history later tonight, and come up with a few pointers.  Sometimes luck is luck, though it’s been reasonbly even in this game, at best 55 45 my way.

Out the gate I would say that multiple Medium stacks as opposed to one large stack in China hurt you… and so did trying to hold Vladivostok R1.

[Gargantua]

Now finish Anzac and France so I can give you some Techs!

[Gargantua]

Hmm, I made an error in the Med.  See if you can exploit it!
