Yeah, planet killing beam isn’t aimed at London, 110, or Russia……  just shooting aimlessly…

@Gamerman01:

Ah, but you are an Axis specialist, arathorn
What you are seeing is 2 guys who aren’t comfortable with the Axis, but love to snipe at the Axis from every direction with the Allies…

I know :) It’s just unusual to see the Axis getting a bid. You guys must REALLY like Allies ;)

Scramble to 111?

[Gargantua]

No Scramble.

Interesting opener…

Not that it really matters, but what purchase is happening here?  the 3 inf trn, or the carrier?  Game currently shows 3 inf trn.

The post came 15 min later so I’m not sure. :P

For the record - I play a friendly game, I like to see my opponents show me their best.  So long as a bunch of dice haven’t been rolled, or the move is aggregiously game changing, I normally like to allow small edits etc.  Hope you feel the same!

[gamerman01]

I’m reasonable about allowing edits - for me you don’t even have to ask permission if you’re changing buys before rolling dice, or noncoms after purchase placements as long as you catch me before I start making a move that is affected by your change.
If you want to change other stuff after the fact, I am quite reasonable, but of course there is a boundary.

I am buying a sub, destroyer, and carrier

I could have stopped where I was and started over and changed my buy and you would have never known the difference.  I was putting my change out there to establish that I was changing my buy before rolling dice - that’s all.  So I don’t even consider that an “edit”, again, because I could have pulled it off without edit mode (could have reloaded and started over)

So I’m purchasing a carrier instead of 3 infantry and a transport.

[gamerman01]

I will allow changes to your USA noncoms/placements in most cases even during your UK combat movement, assuming China didn’t make a difference.  Anyway, just ask and I’m confident you’ll find I’m quite reasonable, but not stupid

[Gargantua]

Close to my favourite G1 build. :)

Proceed!

[gamerman01]

@Gargantua:

No Scramble.

Sure, you want to save your PRECIOUS UK air!
(Bah!  Can’t find a good you-tube clip)

I spit in the face of convention as I seal my own doom in the way I so choose!

[Gargantua]

FYI and IMO, Attacking Normandy, both fleets, and making atleast one transport G1 is a better build.  It allows you to land an extra 4 ground units against England should you threaten sealion.

Not that you care at your “master” level. :P

No I’m not saying “I told you so”, and I have every confidence that you know what you’re doing, but as one allied player to another, that’s the build/attack I fear more!

[Gargantua]

As our two parties have never met before on the field of conflict.  I have but one promise to make you.

Victory or defeat, I will make this game as painful and difficult for you as possible.

That is my firm commitment. :)

I expect you to do the same.

[gamerman01]

I am not a master Axis player

However, with the beauteous dice I just received, and having not lost a single aircraft and only 1 sub, I say hah!  Fear this!

I really have to win now - my bid just increased from about 7 to 37

Your French suck, your British suck, and your neutral allies suck  :-D

[gamerman01]

Painful and difficult is what you’ll be encountering when you see this post

I’m lucky and I know it  :-)

[Gargantua]

I do not live in fear.

[Gargantua]

Wow I really did get bad G1 dice.

Now there are no excuses for when you lose.

:)

I look forward to quoting myself.

[gamerman01]

As one allied player to another, I invite Sealion
Don’t worry, I have reasons for everything, and it’s never easy to beat me  :-)

[gamerman01]

Man, it’s been like a year and a half since I played Boldfresh, but you’re bringing back memories!
