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


  • You surprised me there - I thought I was going to be looking at an ANZAC naval base on New Guinea with 5 fighters to protect it…… well, you probably didn’t need it - I might need a triple destroyer block anyway.  Won’t know until Japan’s turn - I just don’t plan that far in advance believe it or not


  • Oh, my beautiful factories of the Third Reich…… four of them are in FLAMES

    Hmmmmmm
    If I was a good Hitler, I would leave the Russian ones in flames and rebuild Berlin to its former glory, but… you know… that’s probably not good A&A


  • I already changed my mind - this move is actually very easy, I’ve already figured it out when doing Italy I guess.  I don’t know how long you’re up, but I think I can move now….


  • I go to bed now/soon. It is 00:25 here…


  • You bet - thanks - I don’t think I’m going to need any decisions - going to leave London and Moscow alone I think
    Have some nice A&A dreams


  • Wait, maybe I’m not going to leave London alone……


  • No, I am leaving it, false alarm

  • Man, I have to get my luck on my own turns because I never get it on yours


  • This turn’s gonna take some time and energy, you know what I mean?


  • Take you time. I think we overall keep an acceptable pace with fast moves when there is only easy choices and a slightly slower speed when map position offers more choices.
    Not our choice that our game started so close to end of season.


  • @Gamerman01:

    This turn’s gonna take some time and energy, you know what I mean?

    don’t worry gamer, adam and i are keeping him quite busy lol although i must say adam is doing significantly better against him in his game than i am in mine :cry:


  • It’s unlikely this will be done by 10/31 so I gotta get my 8 - so I’m keeping the easy ones moving!

    It’s true - we have been keeping a VERY good pace for such a huge game and great opponent.

    Shouldn’t be too long - I don’t have that much to figure out here.  Most likely I will make my move Friday or Saturday

  • Nice dice from Japan - Even though it is only “minor” battles it still add up…
    wow - a few days away from the game and the game plan is almost gone.
    The only thing I remember is that I enjoyed to bomb your factories so here we go again!

    Intercept in W.GER? (1 FTR, 4 BMB vs. 4 Germany FTR)

    Just trying to keep pace with you, man, you’ve had a lot of great offensive dice yourself!  Maybe you lose your first American bomber finally?!  :-)


  • OK, the reason I said “don’t worry, just small battles” is because I wouldn’t want to see my opponent saying “hey, I got perfect dice!”  when I first check the game thread  :-)
