Sir, sorry to ask: Would you mind if I’d put another mech from EP to WGR?

Only of course if this had zero impact on your Russian turn at all. My considerations were not affected by the Russian turn.

[JDOW]

Haha, wrong thread, sorry guys!

[bmnielsen]

Sorry for the delay, haven’t had a large enough block of time over the holidays to take a proper look at it. Should get to it soon.

[gamerman01]

I understand that, thanks, and happy holidays to you and yours!

After thinking about this a bit, I don’t really see any reason to drag it out, regardless of how much it pains me to resign in round 6 :) The next round opponent is waiting so you may as well get to it.

It was a conscious decision to take extra risks to try to make up for the high bid and my deficit in skill level, so I can’t really be too upset about how it turned out. I botched Japan again as well, which tends to happen when I play experienced players, so thanks for that lesson!

Well played and good luck in the rest of the playoffs :)

[gamerman01]

Thank you, bmnielsen, and good game to you too
You’re a great sport and a pleasant person to play with, so much appreciated.  Now get out there and win a bunch of 2016 games!  See you at the top, and maybe in next years’ playoff
I will consider Rome and Z95 avenged  :-)
