XDAP-5 AllWeNeedIsHank vs Cannibalized by Fluff

[Hank13]

All of the Russians, and 2 British. From here I will defer to my partner.

[DeadTom]

@DeadTom:

Allweneedislove: I’ve analyzed their attack patterns and there is a danger, sir. Should we evacuate?

Hank: Evacuate!?! At our moment of triumph?!?

@Gargantua:

I officially rule in favour of the allies.

That said, if both parties want to continue, by all means…

I think that ruling was premature. Your going to look pretty silly if we end up winning this thing  :-P

[DeadTom]

I can’t believe it, I repaired the wrong factory  :oops:

[Enigmatic_Decay]

yeah Garg, your a biatch!

[Enigmatic_Decay]

so many Russian faces to eat, so little time!

@DeadTom:

I can’t believe it, I repaired the wrong factory  :oops:

thats going to cost you.

[Enigmatic_Decay]

I think Garg was involved in some sphincter tickling with our opponents prior to his ruling!

Not as much as underestimating the Germans will cost you  :roll:

You know when your in-laws come over for a “quick visit” then end up staying the weekend despite numerous hints for them to move on. That’s how I’m feeling right now.

P.S. When we officially win this game, DeadTom could you do all of our rolling in the next round?

[DeadTom]

@Hank13:

You don’t honestly expect us to surrender now? If you want the game over quick, attack Berlin. You probably have a 60% chance of taking it, and if you lose, you can be the one to surrender  :-D

[DeadTom]

I meant every word that I said when I said that the moment that we are confident that we can’t win, we will concede. I had a defined path toward victory with very little room for error. So far, my plan is working out the way that I intended. With Russia taken, I have no reason to believe that I can’t take the last two victory cities and hold them.

[DeadTom]

I just noticed something. The Japanese haven’t been getting their NO for Axis control of India. Is that right? It says in the objectives panel 5 IPC’s for AXIS control of India. Should we be getting more money?

[allweneedislove]

i just checked the rulebook and it it does say axis control.

so for round 10, 11, and 12 japan did not get its bonus.

looks like triplea does not add it automatically so we need to edit another 15ipc to japan.

[DeadTom]

Can you edit that during US? Thanks. We’ll have to remember to edit that for future turns as well.
