@Noll:

So yesterday I was planning my next moves with ghr2 and I said him “The most annoying thing Japan can do is this and this” and you just did it! You are an excellent player JWW, seriously.

I have been told that I can be seriously annoying. Thank you. 8-)

Hey guys.

I guess this technically brings us tot he end of round 2.  (Oct 31st)

I think its best we leave it as a completed round. So we will let the game be judged by the tournament moderator at the end of round 13.

Let me be the first to say that, all personal issues aside, this game was really fun and well played by all players. The game had big momentum shifts and great strategic and tactical decisions were made by all parties.

Thanks to everyone for being a part of it.

That said….

I will post G14 tonight in-case anyone is interested in seeing this thing through regardless of the adjudicated outcome.

Thats right Defrosted Tuna Team. You’re not getting off that easy. Can you bring it?

I bet you would.

Those massive investments in the US Pacific fleet finally look like they are paying off…

… and just in time to prevent Japan from becoming unstoppable.

Jolly good! Best of luck in the later rounds me boyos! Looking forward to finishing this one off.
