Sorry about that … got distracted. Also had to remember what I’d planned on the Soviets turn regarding UK air.

I think Italy’s going to be my downfall in this match (which won’t bum me too much since allweneedislove would crush me) … though it’s really really tough to save the Soviets without sacrificing in the Med. somewhat.

[gamerman01]

No need to apologize - I’m the slow one
Cooking up the I5 right now though

Time for J6

[gamerman01]

Almost got it figured out…
Probably need to sleep on it
Not quite ready to pull the trigger

[wheatbeer]

No worries. Looking like I am losing the economic war, so I doubt this match will last many more rounds (excluding dice or errors).

[gamerman01]

Sounds good to me  :-)

Dithering about purchases and a couple of transports…  :-P

[gamerman01]

OK, this one needed TWO nights sleep.
I woke up knowing what to do.
But not before dreaming about the game.  More of a nightmare, really.

There were extra territories around Egypt that you had a stranglehold on.  One of them was worth 3 IPC’s.  I had taken Egypt with Italian transports, but you took it right back.  At least I stopped production for a round…. I was wondering without looking at the map if you had at least left my transport alone, using the air to secure Egypt.

I controlled Malta but not Cyprus.

UK collected 97 IPC’s (and this is not counting India).  I was thinking, how is this possible, when you’re not even getting the NO for original territories?  I started counting territories and IPC’s.  Egypt was and extra 5 IPC NO for UK.  I didn’t finish, because I woke up.  And no, I was not sweating.  But boy am I glad to wake up and see a UK making only 30!
