@wheatbeer:

You want the Middle East to get ugly don’t you?  :lol:

this one is going into uncharted territory.  unfortunately i had a similar game going with ghost (20+ rounds completely undecided) that ended with a gigantic thud when i got ENORMOUSLY diced in a massive fleet battle…  :-(

[boldfresh]

ignore that PM - false alarm.

[boldfresh]

i think these next ten to twenty rounds are going to be extremely rich in texture.
