I had a long post here from yesterday, but i tried to upload and Apolyton had a problem, hmmmm....anyway...

That's THREE times now!

**Pap1723** · October 20, 2002, 14:45

At least none of us have obviously learned yet!

How the bloody @£&¤ did you destroy my stack (well it was just a bomber and an AA-gun) south of Leningrad?!

It tested it myself but even though I attacked the stack with all the fighters within range I could only damage it into the yellow.

I see now that I should have concentrated more on my first turn, I had a crap positioning.

In singleplayer I could take out SS stormtroopers on forests with a light tank. The light tanks hardly went into the yellow.

I don't know if I should laugh or cry... (Prolly cry because I got spanked)

edit: Because one thing was completely false, I overreacted

The AA battery was supported by Tallinin.

When I captured the city the AA battery disappeared, and then there were only bombers to shoot down, although even the bombers required kamikaze attacks.

BTW a big part of that 700-word post was about how your strategy went wrong, but I didn't write it again. Pretty much your refusal to take those cities that you could have taken only gave me an extra dozen units to work with, not to mention the opportunity to sell off 1000+ gold worth of improvements.

Ah. Don't rub it in.

That should teach me for playing while thinking about girls.

**Darius871** · October 20, 2002, 16:52

Hell, you oughta see the turns I've played drunk.

If anyone wants to be the British player be my guest, there's no password or anything. Also may I suggest that if someone's going to write a long turn report they do so in Notepad or something then cut and paste so it won't be lost if the forum screws up?

**Pap1723** · October 21, 2002, 00:55

I think the best way to write the descriptions is to do it, and to post the file on a seperate post right after it.

BTW, nice strategy Choke by pillaging the railroads. It slowed down my advance a lot.

I HATE pillaging but I thought "Hmmm, the next time I'm going to use these railroads to go on the offensive is...never" and they help you, and I'm poor so...

**Darius871** · October 21, 2002, 01:15

What I do is write the thing on Apolyton, but I select it all and copy it, press the send button, and if it doesn't work I can just back up and hit paste. The problem is that the rare times when I don't do it are the only times that the upload doesn't work.

What are the odds...

**Choke** · October 21, 2002, 01:30

Yes I understand your sentiments, early today while I was driving my brother (sitting in the passenger seat) lamented that there's never anyone walking on the sidewalk when he has rotten fruit to throw out the window.

**Darius871** · October 21, 2002, 01:36

Or when I'm trying to make a bus. When I'm about 20 feet from my stop the damn thing drives right past it, so that I have to wait there the absolute longest possible time. The man upstairs has to have something to do with this sh*t.

**David Floyd** · October 21, 2002, 02:03

OK, I just called the British...is it my turn at this point?

And what must I do - this would be my first PBEM.
