Good tip for you to note for yourself.

Considering I made this comment before you. :D

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.

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!

@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.

[gamerman01]

@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.

[gamerman01]

No doubt you are done with France.  I often forget to click through the noncombat phase to the end of the turn, too.

As Boldfresh astutely pointed out today - it is against the rules to make noncombat moves in the combat phase!  :lol:

Wow, 2 more precious infantry gone?  You struck out trying to hit a home run, Garg  :-)

Thank you, that is high praise.  Unfortunately, it is all too rare for a good player to put a compliment out.

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 :(

Thanks for not going for it and getting all lucky on me.

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. :)

Garg, I would be just thrilled if you enjoy this game.
Despite wittman’s kind pleas for mercy on your behalf, you will get absolutely none.  I can’t risk the possibility that you would gloat about this win over me for the next couple of years.  And I would never forgive myself, either.  So we can’t have that.  :-D

That’s my favourite part about this match-up.

If I lose, it means nothing, if I win… lol.  I’ll stay quiet about it - I promise.  :evil:

[gamerman01]

Uh huh…
Well, I’m not too tired, so I’m almost done with this G2
