2014 Championship – (4) Ghostglider(+21) v (2) Gamerman01(Axis)

[gamerman01]

I want to say,

Most of the frustration is just from the time difference between us, which is no-one’s fault, obviously.
I am impressed by your skills and survival abilities.  And I sympathize with you in advance that you are finally breaking through in Europe only to lose to Japan - that is the worst.  One of my first games was like that and I vowed “never again”

Unbelievable game, and you just added another memorable chapter to it - very shrewd move, like the Z98 raid early.

Hitler escaped to Brazil, knowing the raid was coming.  He will be issuing insane orders from there

Scramble 1 fighter to 112?

Hitler returns from vacation. Tanned and all is well again :P.

[gamerman01]

You’re assuming the Germans can kill that artillery!!  :wink:

[JDOW]

@Soulblighter:

Hitler returns from vacation. Tanned and all is well again :P.

No, he just moved to Argentinia and giving orders from there. That was the reason for the Neutral Crush:D

[gamerman01]

Will be interesting to see what Ghost spends all that Christmas money on.  I don’t want him building anything in Stalingrad….

[Soulblighter]

@Gamerman01:

That is easy. Germans will require proper insurance to pay for increasing funeral costs. So investing it in setting up more insurance companies seems like pure profit :P.

[gamerman01]

Or tribute to the Japanese to leave them alone in the future?  To stay on their half of the globe?
