[boldfresh]

just a real cryin shame.  :lol:  not only did i fail in the 50% chance of clearing the territory, i failed MISERABLY  :-o

[boldfresh]

you got the best of me in every battle, the NW persia battle was extremely huge by the way.  i can’t really stress that enough.

but to add salt to the wounds, you also hit in normandy then got max convoy disruption in normandy…  :lol:

i guess as they say, when it rains it pours…

:-o :-o

[boldfresh]

looking back, if i had just run the NW persia battle first, i would have cleared it without loss (the way the dice came out).  well, i hope in the end that single battle doesn’t decide the game, but i have a gut feeling that i just took a big hit that i may not be able to survive.

[Jeff28]

Where did the fig come from? I kept counting five spots from So. Italy?

Or I would have send more guys.

–Jeff

[boldfresh]

the ftr came from southern italy.  if you declare war on the true neutrals, you can fly over them.  so the ftr flew over turkey.  it was all carefully planned, which means it was almost guaranteed to fail.  :|

[boldfresh]

so, luckily for you, you get to learn the lesson the easy way.  :x :-P

[boldfresh]

shame on me for doing it.  i had a bad feeling it might go south, it was only a 50/50 shot anyway.  i kinda did it more for fun to demonstrate an elegant move…  :|  BACKFIRE!!!  :lol:

[Jeff28]

Yes, destroy Iraq and then Egypt and my Persian fleet would have been brutal.

–Jeff

[boldfresh]

you aren’t out of the woods yet, but that was a HUGE HUGE HUGE victory for you.

[Jeff28]

Rommell’s trying to poison Hitler now.

[boldfresh]

:oops:so frustrated right now

[boldfresh]

the most frustrating thing to me about this game is when a guy thinks he is beating you badly but you have a move to give you the advantage and it flops terribly.  :-P

[boldfresh]

you know what? The movie I just made may not be legal. It may be that you have to attack a neutral in order to fly over it not just declare war. I will look into it

[boldfresh]

If it is illegal to fly over a neutral without attacking it would you be ok with canceling that attack?  Normandy would stand as rolled.

[boldfresh]

I definitely would not have attacked with only the tank and 2 bombers. Kudos to you for catching that you needed to put more material in NW Persia.

[boldfresh]

ahh yes.  tripleA INCORRECTLY allowed me to fly over neutral turkey with the fighter.  you are NOT ALLOWED to fly over a true neutral unless you are ATTACKING it.

[boldfresh]

so, it seems you were actually correct in your understanding that i could not get to NW persia with the fighter…  and perhaps I will be the one to end up learning the lesson without getting scorched?  let me know what you think - i assure you i would not have attacked NW persia without the fighter.
