Robson (X) vs Kilroynothere (A) G40 YGTE - game2 revenge of the dice gods

@robson First, thank you for the taking of the west coast for the 144. I’d chalk that up to understanding this variant. Never would have even gone there with Japan except it’s round 7 of 8 and I could grab the victory token. Otherwise… dumb move!

Second, very, very sorry to hear about your family. What a horrible situation and very sad. My condolences. I have not lost anyone directly, but friends have lost older relatives and I had a very good friend on a ventilator for a month early into the epidemic. He survived, thankfully and doing OK. But, he does still suffer some lung issues.

I wish the world could work together and stamp this out. Wish everyone could believe in science, but at least here, there are those that do, and those that don’t. Period. It’s scary. If you haven’t seen “Don’t look up” I highly recommend it. A modern day idiocracy. A brilliant satire on the state of the US (and maybe the west in general).

@robson Looks like the Axis has this one. If you want to finish of round 8, happy to do so. Otherwise, if you want to try your hand at Axis again (and hopefully this time the dice gods favor you in France!), I’m game for another go at this variant. I really appreciate your patience with my slow pace.

@robson Sounds great. Last game was really enjoyable. Looking forward to our fourth game (and seeing how the Dice Gods are feeling this time)!

@Robson Wanted to let you know I am leaving town on Thursday and will not be back until January 31st. I’m not going to be taking my computer with me so we won’t be able to respond. So take your time on your first move and I’ll catch my move upon my return.

@robson Back in town now! Had a great vacation but unfortunately came home with Covid. Would not have even known except decided to take a test before heading back to the office. So far, hardly can tell I have anything going on. Hope it stays that way. Hope all is well in your world.

@robson Sounds good to me. Looking forward to it.

@robson. I also had trouble with the post on the forum. I’ll check the info, but here is the saved game. Sorry it took so long!
