FYI  - I am in Sweden from July 1st to July 10th,  and Morocco from August 1st to August 16th.

I will likely be able to post in July, (and hopefully we conclude by then!) but if not, apologies for delays.

[Karl7]

Japan?

[JuanSpain]

Japan is calling mum, but she don´t answer, jaja

Rubioton went to the beach a couple of days, but may be we can move today.

No problem if we have delays Joel. Enjoy Sweden! fantastic place to be at this time of the year.

[Elrood]

Just some comment: Very cool and unusual game in the Pits. Fun and interesting to observe how Armada plans around the very strong bid placement!  :-)

Kudos to both teams!

[Karl7]

KILL NOW

[Gargantua]

MORE KILL

Elrood - glad you are enjoying the game!  It’s definetly testing the boundaries of a “classic” playstyle.  Karl and I are attempting to break the status quo of allied theory!

[JuanSpain]

Good to have you watching Elrood!

Very interesting pressure on Japan with Russia, very hard move for us now, I don´t think it will take much longer though.

With my current conception of the game, I would have said that Russia should take care about Moscow, and you are not doing it, you possitivelly know that you cannot avoid leaving it in R6, but this might be a new disruption, very interesting in any case, we will see.

KILLLLLLLLLLL

[Gargantua]

I wonder how many hundreds of thousands of figurative Axis and Allies pieces I have sent to their death.

Sometimes with methodical purpose, and conservation…  sometimes to brazen high risk and outrageous maneuvers.

May they rest well in either case!

[Gargantua]

Is this going to happen!

I’ve got 4 hours in killing in Amsterdam airport and I was really hoping to dload the turn! :)

[JuanSpain]

Rubioton is with it, we have worked a lot on it, but our preferred strategy needed one more ship and we could not post it in the end, we have been forced to build a different one.

Sorry for the delay

[Gargantua]

It’s all good Juan.

Karl and I just like to keep the pressure on!

Please let Juan check the NCM map.

Thx

[JuanSpain]

It´s ok Rubioton, good move.

[Karl7]

Hey guys, just got back in town.  Hiked over the top of the Sawtooth Mountains – 6,500 feet of climbing.

I’ll try to bang out a response tomorrow.

[JuanSpain]

Great climb Sir! Congrats! No hurries. Cheers. Armada.

[rubioton]

My holidays less exciting, just went to the beach with my family.

No worries Sir.
