you go it

I assume no tech…?

while there were other games outstanding, i felt no need to call the game

though if he does not return by this friday, i’ll be calling it in your favor since the game got past the first full round

Sounds good. I’m not going to play any more AA-50 games once I’m finished with the ones I’m currently playing. Global has so much more to offer and playing AA-50 is starting to be a drag. Name your terms for Global.

i hope everything is ok with you. i’m gonna take this board down and start another game. we can call it a draw or finish later. no problem either way. happy holidays

Resigning because I, honestly, cannot say I know where I am or where I was going in this game.  Besides, I am quite sure the time limit expired a month ago now…

Look me up next year, if you like.

Ok. I hope everything works out.

i could really use some tripleA experience - i just made a keystroke error which resulted in OBG sinking 8 undefended transports in the one and only tripleA game i’ve played so far.  that would be great, do you want to start a game?  I’m cool with a rematch of this one same bid, same placement?

Dont cry for billy - he made up for all those horrible dice in his game with me.  :x

I think we need to look at the England complex in a different light.

If England gets a FREE complex, where should they put it? (Prior to Russia 1.)

Why?  Because that’s the majority of complexes England gets.  Not many people are buying Complexes for England until much later in the game when they can put them up in W. Europe or Norway. :P

So, to me the choices are:

S. Africa (2) E. Canada (3) Australia (2) India (3)

And that’s pretty much the order i would put them in.  Unless there are some neat things going on with America and Russia that can help reinforce India faster.  Then it might change.

I like E. Canada over Australia because you can invest in a 5th & 6th Transport (something some of you want to do ANYWAY) with England and be landing 10 troops a round in Asia. 2 From E. Canada to England. 10 From England to North Europe.

Thanks DM. It was the low luck aspect that really threw me the curveball. Taking a cursory look, it seemed that LL makes a lot of the first round battles, on both side, that are deemed “must do’s” by most players a little more palatable so, all things being equal, it was hard to judge which side would come out ahead at the end of the 1st turn.

You know Angelina Jolie had a flying submarine in Sky Captain.

Keep him a sub just let his post count keep climbing. It is the post count you look at to see if someone is a regular poster (to my way of thought) not the “rank.”
