XDAP2 PIT FIGHT Hammers vs Boldman

[gamerman01]

Didn’t matter in this instance, but I want to advise you that the blitzing movement must be completed in the combat movement phase - that is, you were required to move the tank back to Norway before rolling any dice (in this case there were no dice).

Might save you some angst in the future

@Gamerman01:

Actually, I have an extremely helpful tip for you.

For a long time, when playing ANZAC, I have looked at the # of unit count in the stats, and counted ANZAC units on the board until I come up with that count.  With their units looking like American, and with them being scattered around the board sometimes, this method has been extremely helpful to me.

I do this aswell.  Just remember to count the Bases/Complex’s too lol.

[Ferrousgryphon]

Thanks again for the tips Gamerman

[gamerman01]

No problem - I just want to help everyone maximize their enjoyment from playing games, and share what I’ve learned

What I meant was, you only need to click post once and even though you get an error message, it’s actually posting correctly

Well guys good game, Cyanight and I could see things were only going to get worse from here out so we decided the 20% odds in Bryansk were about the best odds we had for a victory. No need to prolong the agony. Good game guys. Thanks again for the pointers and good luck in the rest of the tournament. See you next time.

[cyanight]

Good Game guys.  It was fun :)

Hope to play you two again sometime. Good luck in the pit!

[gamerman01]

Thanks a lot, guys, I had fun and thanks for the well wishes!

At least now you don’t have tournament and elimination pressure!!

Hope to see you on the battle board again some time
