13L G40 Gargantua v. Gamerman01, sides and tech TBD

[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!

@Gargantua:

Whats taking so long to get the post out!? :P

Classics aren’t quickies
Plus you were yakkin’ at me  :lol:
I’ll say it a hundred times, I’m not very experienced with the Axis.  All the pressure is still on you, even after great G1 dice.  We’re both Allied specialists…… and you, my friend, have the Allies
I have the Axis with a 37 bid  :-)

And Bold is right, I’m not building any death star.  There will be no Italian attacks on Gibraltar.
And no I don’t attack Normandy, I make sure i TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS in Paris

[boldfresh]

i love that i have something to watch while veq and cow sweat out the rest of round 6!!  no playing any other games for me until cow is dead and buried!

[boldfresh]

man, those were like COWDICE gamer!!! geez!  you sure picked the right time to get hot!

i think garg is gonna bring some tough game on you, but after that G1 opener and a stiffened italian fleet, i put his chances at about 30%.  let’s see how the next couple of rounds go.

[gamerman01]

Yeah, just wait til you see my cluelessness play out
Didn’t lose a single aircraft (not even close) - is a real luxury
Also, he can only get 2 of my subs, max

[gamerman01]

Hitting 110 is over-rated

[Gargantua]

A conservative game approach should lend to better dice.

Looking forward to this fight.

Going to be a few hours, before I am able to post.  Looking forward to preparing my counter offensive.

[gamerman01]

No rush

I too am looking forward to the game playing out
