Fish Sticks

A trip to Seattle for yet another attempt at A & A. First things first........



Pancakes.

Second.....



Learning about Mexico........



Ok, here are the teams.......

Axis: Josh, Jimmy, & Brian

Allies: Alex, Dave, & PBK

Round 1: Each team gains a little and loses a little. Russia has no luck moving towards Japan (this will be trouble later) and Germany is unable to eliminate the Allies sea presence. The game is already taking its own shape.



Round 2: Everything plays to the Allies favor. Standard moves are being made. The UK begins to push the Axis out of Africa. The US begins building a fleet to move towards Western Europe & Russia is holding it's own. Japan is also having success is expanding towards Russia.



Round 3: Everything gets a bit blurry at this point. The UK loses it's production facility in India. Fighters were used to clear some water space for the US and that left the door open for the end of the game. Japan moves in and India is added to its impressive collection of four production facilities. Germany is also holding off attacks by Russia, the UK, and the US. Amazing.



The rest of the game: Ouch. All the beer in the world won't make it better. The Axis wins and the reason is because of Horton & Co. They kicked our ass. The Allies played well but countries like the UK got very lazy and figured that the outcome would turn out like the others. PBK sure was wrong and was outsmarted by Horton again.

Do you have a second? No, I just wanted to say what a piece of shit that new Rapture album is. It's really bad. I know, it's not like these guys are doing a follow up to the White Album or anything but I was kind of confused. I know that their older stuff can sound like old PIL but I liked that. The Mirror EP, all of their early recordings used to make me very happy. I really am not interested in criticizing music here and I hardly ever do it but........ what a stinker.

Bookworm, I have CD's for you this weekend. I'm going to raid your stash also so get ready.

I hope everyone got that one little thing they wanted........ my father sure did.

Ummm, A & A part 2 (and 3)

Rematch?

Germany: PBK
Japan: Brian

USA: Josh
UK: Josh
Russia: Josh

Advantage? Josh.

Brian and I believed we could do it, we thought we could make Josh struggle. We were wrong. We played two games today because Josh destroyed us in game 1. Nothing to say about it...... good game JBH.



(Notice Brian's disgust)

Game 2....... things went a little more normal. Huge build up in Europe, Germany even managed to balance out Africa. Russia on the other hand was a monster. After pulling in what seemed to be 40 IPC's a turn Russia forced Germany to be aggressive and make the first move. Germany could not match the balanced spending of Russia. Men and tanks, men and tanks.



Japan did what it could but the Allies were able to keep Japan from having that huge turn it needed....... closer to the capital of Russia. PBK thinks he and Brian need to try again. It's been almost 15 years of your dominence Horton.
