    Honestly, I’m starting to feel a bit bad. You’ve had some bad beats and I’ve been really lucky. So far, you’ve been pummeled by the dice, not a superior strategy…

    I’m heading to bed. Looking forward to continuing the game tomorrow and see what the beastly Russians have in store.


  • @Emanon Kind of bad losing India that ez.

    But I had a great real world day in the stock market, and my injured girl friend is walking better. so it evens out

    That’s another couple for dumb luck in India and Karelia.
    I mean, I like to say I play “medium risk, high reward” but…
    When the stats even out, I’m in for one hell of a rude awakening.


  • @leemorrison What was your error message? Did you enter your password before starting the game?


  • @Emanon I surrender, too far behind too early. Also just made a mechanical unforced error.

    nicely done


  • @leemorrison
    You had far better strategy imo. I took some chances and they paid off far bigger than I had hoped. But let’s be honest: The dice won the game.

    Cheers!
    Let me know if you’re up for a rematch. I can learn a lot from you.


  • @leemorrison
    What was the error, if I might inquire?


  • @Emanon I forgot to unload the ground units invading France.

    no big deal, Russia would fall very quickly, no sense continuing.

    The PBEM, IAAPA club is just starting a gimmick Classic tourney. They require typing out everything. Time consuming.

    So rematch in a week or so when the early rounds are done there.


  • @leemorrison
    Looking forward to it. Cheers! GG
