15L Gargantua (Allies +6) vs Shin Ji (Axis)

[Gargantua]

damn, these turns of NO HITS in every battle are killing me lol.

[Gargantua]

Could be a day before I can post, travelling back east to Fredericton. (9 hours of flying :( )

[Shin-Ji]

Ugh!  I had 24 hours in the air twice recently - flying back and forth across the Pacific!

Would not recommend it.

[Gargantua]

@Gargantua:

Could be a day before I can post, travelling back east to Fredericton. (9 hours of flying :( )

24 hours in the air sounds awful LOL…

FYI, the girlfriend planned this trip and has been keeping the schedule BUSY.  I will post any chance I get, (really have been enjoying our game!), but I can’t say for sure when it’s going to be.

Worst case could be sunday before I can post. Thanks for patience.

[Shin-Ji]

I completely understand.  Trips make this kind of thing difficult, and we’re at a point in the game where we have to really think about our moves.  This has been a great game so far!  I’m really happy to see that I’m holding my own.

That image you are using shin ji. It is familiar somehow.

[Shin-Ji]

It’s Unit 01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion.  Shinji’s ride.

Vacation going well?

[Gargantua]

Yeah it was awesome!

I just rolled back into town today; but now I am going to a work training conference (Tuesday to Friday) which is going to be a time slam as well.

I’ll try to post tonight as I think I’ll have a window, And then I can post again Saturday evening/afternoon and in the clear after that.

This one is going to be a nail biter finish.

Man, that was a devastating Allied move.  I did not figure on you buying that carrier.

[Gargantua]

@Shin:

Man, that was a devastating Allied move.  I did not figure on you buying that carrier.

LOL I am just trying to survive man.  It’s funny, the other day a friend of mine was telling his allies “Joel will attack when it’s only 40%”.

My chance to win that battle was only 38%, and I really struggled with whether I should gamble or not… that 2% was a stretch… Same thing when I was down to 1 fighter.

Wish I sent less planes to Java, but you never know what you’re going to get in this game…
