Changing your build after rolling your dice and completing your turn is a BIG no no…

Also… selecting my Anzac casualties, before my British ones is a bit… interesting as well.

[Gargantua]

Whoops, did not see your comments!

They were before dice, so no problem.

And you are correct about Sz37 destroyer, don’t know why I didn’t think that through.  Will adjust accordingly.

@Gargantua:

Dude, chill.

I changed the buy before rolling any dice, and just forgot to post the combat move.  You can look at time stamps to verify.

There is nothing at all weird about choosing your ANZ casualties.  If anything it handicaps me when doing my Italian noncoms because I don’t know if you will have 2 UK infantry or 2 ANZ infantry.

You have absolutely no reason to be troubled by either of these things.

[gamerman01]

Tip for you:

Always go back to your last post to make sure you see everything your opponent posted.

[Gargantua]

Good tip for you to note for yourself.

Considering I made this comment before you. :D

[boldfresh]

i like a good CHIPPINESS to a game as long as it is a semi-friendly CHIPPINESS.  rock and roll boys, lots of game to play here!

[gamerman01]

@Gargantua:

Good tip for you to note for yourself.

Yeah, yeah, well I already had it typed up and you needed it anyway.  That’s what you get for getting all upset before reading all my posts.

Did you really think I would change my buy at the end of my turn??  Jeez, you give me no credit

[gamerman01]

Now when people take off bombers before infantry, like Boldfresh and Infrastructure have done to me, without asking, then you have reason to be upset.

After a VERY long layoff, I’m just trying to keep the game moving, and choosing ANZ infantry and telling you to switch them if you want is EXTREMELY benign.  :roll:

Now make your move

[boldfresh]

i’ve heard rumors that gargantua is thrashed in this game….  *downloads map"

[boldfresh]

egypt is under HEAVY assault from the 12 inch guns… YOWZA

[Gargantua]

Mmmhmm.

But nothing that won’t be corrected quickly.

[Gargantua]

Time to ask Larry for a little help.

I will say Gamerman.

You do an excellent job of keeping the door closed on your opponents possibilities, whilst maximizing your own.  It’s quite something to see.

The sub bid to Sz97 initially didn’t concern me, but losing the cruiser at off Gibraltar, suddenly made me rethink my favorite taranto opener :(

I did see pressure coming on Egypt, but I knew there would also be some “risk” involved for you, and there still is if I get some dice :D

This is going to be a great game. :)

[Witt]

Remember your newest acolyte is watching you Garg!
Do not want to see any of my schoolboy errors.

Of course I wish you all the luck too, Gamerman. Be gentle  with Garg: don’t spank him too hard!

I must say, I like the Med standoff.

@Gargantua:

Time to ask Larry for a little help.

Yeah, I remember that game and that music.  The youtube clip showed him talking but I can’t hear him…

I remember his “grand strategy” talk kind of sucked.  Was a fun game at the time.
