Rofl turn to meanfcker

[Meanfcker]

Turn to Kraft. I still (sometimes but not always) get messages that I have deleted a log file. I wouldn't know what one is or where I would find it. All I do is copy the file and paste. Should I cut and paste?
I don't think that matters, but I just don't know. I have checked my comp for malware and spyware to make sure that isn't the cause. Any ideas?

[Krafty]

Ive had that happen before and have no idea what causes it. Our GD1938 game in the aar forum did that for 2 turns for Ernie then it just went away.


Turn to yah

Good game. No way im recovering from this. I was caught off guard by how cramped the map was with water being to my west. Building an aircraft factory was a mistake. I forgot to upgrade raws, and it never produced at full production.

I should have put those raws into light tanks as well, but alas I made the mistake of thinking there were more turns before we met and went for armored cars.

And of course mud hits when I need my dive bombers to knock out the light tanks.



I could hang on another dozen turns but its long past the point of no return, I dont think youre going to make a huge enough mistake on a map this small for me to turn it around.

It looks like you've got the upper hand, but do you mind if we keep playing...we don't have to go the whole way, just want to see if I can put up a decent defense. Thanks.

[Meanfcker]

Good game Kraftwerk. You are a classy kind of guy and I hope that I did not offend you with my arrogant bullsht. I really expected to bump into a pile of tanks, not armored cars. I have read one of your posts on
X-large and larger maps, and I would be pleased if we could have a game sometime outside of the tournament.
Again gg.

Yeah the smaller the ship, the smaller the hole has to be to sink it. I counted up the total hexes across the top, and figured I had another turn or two before we even met. I didnt consider that the capital city on both sides was going to be 8 or 9 hexes from the edge of the map and that it was going to be a knife fight. I did my usual pump PPs and engineers for the first turn or so, checked the force graph, wasnt very far behind, built the factory that put me ahead in production. I was just lazily expanding, planing on bumping into your trains...then its all like...those arent trains?! Scramble to build ACs, realize I forgot to upgrade my raw in my haste, and that my airplane factory used them all up making fighters! My encirclements didnt scare you much since there wasnt anything behind the front line lol. Once i had to fall back and my entrenchment was ruined, there was no recoving. Would have been a matter of sticking MGs and SMGs in cities and simply waiting for inevitable.

And yeah im always down for a game Considering joining SGs no water game. He's a good host.

I sure appreciate all the work hes put into all these games and the community. Herding cats usually, but hes a damned good sport about it.


And im one of those people who has just as much fun losing as winning. After all the Dwarf Fortress and Aurora, ive learned to lose quite gracefully...my War in the East games have hammered that lesson home as well lol.


ATG is a bit more my speed.

[SailingGuy]

If we want to do a consolation bracket hatemf90 should set up a game vs Nego. It's totally up to you guys.
