I would not consider a 45% crack at Russia “desperate”

That is a reasonable attack.

I am not going to turn down an offer to win a game strait up right then and there.

i almost choked i laughed so hard when i read this.  :lol:

[boldfresh]

fun game.  even if you get moscow there, you lose badly.  pyrrhic victory in other words.  only way it gets you back in the game is to roll WAYYYYYY up, maybe top 0.1%, and then also roll way up on the defense of russia.

[boldfresh]

anyway, at least the dice gods didn’t give you two straight games of otherworldly dice.

good luck, hope you make the playoffs.

cheers,

bold

[Cow]

If I get Russia there, I get Russia again. You even calculate your odds of defending after that?

Be a bit before I secure the VC win. It would come eventually just because of Egypt and Novgorod’s positioning.

[boldfresh]

i wish you had taken it barely.  would have been a very fun game from there.  you would have lost but it may have kept you fighting for a lot longer.  you would have quit before i took berlin with the french though.  :wink:

[boldfresh]

can you post the final map?

[boldfresh]

i’d like to know what your buy and other combat moves were.

[Cow]

Information like that is precious. I bought under the assumption that I win with just 1 tank surviving. So that I could reclaim and hold Russia.
