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

[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:

[gamerman01]

@Gargantua:

Well… you let me down Larry,

I only wanted 1 dice at 1! C’mon!

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

[gamerman01]

@Gargantua:

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.

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

Hmmmmmmmmm

Well obviously Japan’s not planning on attacking.

Now… do I take the 50% against your surface fleet, or the little bit more “go for broke” against the chitlins?

Hmm…

Going to be tmrw am before I can post.

I wonder if Japan will be air blitzing Szechwan.

[Gargantua]

I have to say, at this point…

Russia’s think a battleship in Sz100.

A man after my own heart.

Thanks for the warning.  I didn’t realize USA could break up my destroyer block in 104, but now I do, before doing Japan’s turn.  You’re your own worst enemy  :wink:

[Gargantua]

I play a fair game. ;)

Regrets on the delay, if the site hadn’t been down everytime I tried to post a game move, we’d been on J4!

I’ll be emailing you if it happens again.  Posting tonight.
