Morning. First post was me seeing if I was in Local or not.
I have spent in excess of two hours deliberating(hence only ever one League Game for me!). I believe you have me. The Japanese arriving in my rear is  the last straw. Enjoy implementing your Victory City sweep.

[boldfresh]

casualty choice needed in z36 - we can go round by round or you can give an overall OOL.  so far i have tipped a battleship.

[Witt]

I will let you choose. Save one DD for the subs, otherwise not too bothered.
I did not think you had a chance against my fleet. Have I missed something? Seems you have the edge, my mistake. Did I need to take Shan to avoid so many Air arriving? Thought they could all get to Indo, so did not bother landing in Shan.
Good luck.

[Witt]

I see what I missed now: Did not notice Sikang was 4 away, as Shan borders the SZ. Missed that!
Nice move. Silly me.

[boldfresh]

dont worry - it worked out quite well for you - sheesh.

[boldfresh]

was waiting to get your fleet in that spot - had a great shot on it with a safe retreat.  oh well.

[boldfresh]

i call it the “curse of the clever” it hits me so many times.  that was about a 100 ipc swing from expected or so.

so we play on!

[boldfresh]

EDIT - want two more infs in FIC

[boldfresh]

@wittmann:

Good luck.

Thanks!!  :-P

[Witt]

I am sorry things did not work out, as everything seems to be falling into place for you. I was obsessed with the  Chinese Jap Air landing in E Persia and did not think to look the other way! I was sure fleet was safe. Can never be to complacent and my eyesight will be the death of me!
I really considered an (almost suicidal) attack against Rostov, just to reduce your stack of Art(with Mech on its way). Russia cannot build enough. I did  not like the gaps it left, so decided against it.

[Witt]

You must have been happy when you saw 13 hits on R1, then flabbergasted when Marti gave me 15.
It must have been hard to pull out then, but you went a third round and that went worse for you. Silly, as you deserved to win.
Now I have to decide whether or not to try a one two with US Air and UK air in the Med. Have gone over it twice and am against it. Tomorrow morning, with sleep still in my Allied eyes, who knows…
Enjoy your day. I am off to work soon and have football to watch  when I finish.

[boldfresh]

no worries - take your time.  i made the attack because even if it went poorly i still had the advantage.  if it went well, it would have swiftly ended the game.

have a great day!

[Witt]

Thank you . I am happy it looks like Uruguay are young out of the World Cup.
Also unhappy, because I cannot see it! Will get home when it is over, unless they score two (which I do not want ).
