***** Retired *****

Update from Graceland.

Switched back to Face-2-Face games.
Got multi-opponents thankfully, we're playing classic games of Advanced Squad Leader.
Today's scenario is "Aces High", from ASL Scenarios - Heat of Battle - Waffen SS 3 - Neither Fear Nor Hope!

Maybe I'll return after golf season Will need to reinstall game to continue our long lasting battles.
Meanwhile, have more time to evaluate my stock/crypto trading and sports betting.
The cancel culture has done me a favor, for squeezing the fun out of online & regular life. Now I just street preach.

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why can't my dream come true
Oh why

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why won't that sun appear

We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answers, answers gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, there's a beckoning candle, yeah
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream
Oh, please let my dream
Come true
Right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

Good to hear from you Elvis. Missed your great sense of humor.

Don't let the b***ers win Elvis!! We've never played but I've been impressed by your stamina and your sense of humour.

Hope to see you back at some point.

Good luck!

Good to see you are back

Game #128 [LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (ThundarLizard2 = Axis) ---> Tight game, Moscow falls as Allies entered Germany. Allies surrender December 1944. Won't be able to gain ground. Those 3000 MMPs and tech advantage no point going forward. Invasion fleet towards Japan worthless and stale in Burma. Chinese survived, but went nowhere also.
