you are a tier E/1 in my book.  i think this season will prove that out.

[666]

98% chance to win France my arse

[666]

have you ever gotten smoked like that in france as germany and still beaten a tier 1 player?

[boldfresh]

been there a few times.  won 1 of them.

i would prefer to keep the british artillery over the french - will that change your noncom at all?

[boldfresh]

not a tier 1 but i did beat trajan who was tier 1 at the time.

[boldfresh]

he ended the season tier 2 at 2.83 ppg.

[666]

@Boldfresh:

hmmmm…so my chances now are? Do what you want with ALL that material left in France, I don’t think I will have the stomach to continue this for too long.

quick, do japan and you’ll feel better.  the thing about axis is you can win on either side of the map.

[boldfresh]

oops forgot to do the edit in france on this map.

[boldfresh]

i do not do s france anymore because of this possibility.  course that’s no guarantee you would have won in france even with the extra units the way you were rolling.

@Boldfresh:

i didn’t used to either but I see an advantage to taking it and without those 3 G units you still have 98% to take france…it’s hard to argue against it w/the 98%.

and the problem w/winning as JPN now is that russia and america can pay a lot more attention to japan……
the real shame is we haven’t played a game that didn’t have whacked T1 dice yet….I think.

I don’t believe you have really beaten me yet…
