Lawyers were some of the first nerds, though few will admit it.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah Ha! For sure. I have a very good friend that loves to play A&A and is a recently retired lawyer. He’s a huge nerd! He’ll be the first to admit it though.

@kilroynothere
I made the edits. All cleaned up now.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah Thanks. As usual, life has gotten in the way this week. Friend blows into town, UT football game, shenanigans, daughter home from college, Halloween, and then wife’s birthday. Oh… and this work thing gets in the way too. Haven’t forgotten!

Thanks for your patience.

[mainah]

@kilroynothere
Oh no worries. The post was done because I forgot where our game was at, and went and took a look. Figure I’d do the edits before they where forgotten.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah well, didn’t get to my move before leaving town. Very sorry. I’ll be out for a week so will focus on my return next Sunday. Again, sorry for the delay.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah I’m home and was able to finally make a move. Russia is in a tough spot, but fighting on!

@kilroynothere
Struggling with this turn.
Japan can see that there is a whole lotta pressure coming. So the purchase and NCM for this move is crucial, and many variations and variables complicate it. I currently have a little bit of an edge militarily, and internal lines of communication - but still economically disadvantaged.
And then there’s trying to predict the possible variations’ effect on the Europe side.
Big decisions…

[kilroynothere]

@mainah I thought the same for Japan. Take your time. This game is absolutely awesome and intense! Russia wasn’t as easy as I thought it should be either once I dived in. Simple love at the end, it took some careful thought on the build to thwart all that mobile out there.

Loving this game. Good stuff!

@kilroynothere
The effect of the sinking of germinates fleet is really showing now!

[kilroynothere]

@mainah Haven’t heard them called the Germanites … like it. And yeah, now the Axis has to defend on the land and the allies have the mobility in their favor. Still, with Gib a fortress, not an easy task for the Allies to crack it open.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah quick update. I had outpatient surgery 16 days ago. Just now starting to get off the pain meds and working a bit and catching up. Sorry for the delay.

[mainah]

@kilroynothere
No worries at all! I figured it was just busy holiday stuff. Sorry to hear that it was something far less fun. Hope you mend well.

[kilroynothere]

@mainah Hey there! Again, very sorry for my incredible tardiness on this move. I’m finally getting back to normal again. Starting working and getting to the office and desperately trying to catch up. I’m hopeful to be able to make a move here shortly… now that I’m not on heavy pain killers it might actually be a move that makes sense!

[mainah]

@kilroynothere
No worries at all!
Been flat out myself. Last of the fall chores and work cranked up.
