Quite an interesting game. Yoda has an obvious lead in the power graph (as long as it works properly in MP) but I assume that in science we are pretty close to each other.

Keygen, if you get within a half dozen modern advances of Yoda, you are doing well... I reviewed Yoda's Strategy from the games we played, and it is exceptional.. Just don't be suprised when your Musketeers are trying to shoot Nukes down....

Just how many players are active in this competition now? I see very few players posting.

Solver- I am off to Sankt Petersburg, and Moscow on September 22nd, if you can get yourself there, I will supply the Women!

All the PBEM entrants seem to be dead to the world. I think perhaps Solver should post wake-up calls in the old threads on the subject which he closed, we do at least know they're subscribed to those.

Can you post your email address again? Thanks.

Hey Garry, how's been? Hope to see you more often here

Pete, I will send you some turns.

Yoda, you're right but got to give the chance to the others to play as well
Anyway I will be able to squize you in Thursday if you'd like. Earlier? What about 17:00 greenwich time? That would be 09:00 AM your time. Sure, why not, if you can handle such an early start

Paulno1, what about this Friday? Can you make it?

And thanks all for your comments

[Solver]

Yoda: blackice's email is blackicegl@cogeco.ca (am I supposed to know them all by heart?)

Some very nice comments here, really .

Oh, and Keygen & Yoda, you will get an award for being the first who played .

Anyone knows if Patryn is still in his US military training?

Yes, I can make Thursday 17:00 GMT. I might even be convinced to play earlier if necessary . Cya then and good luck with your game today.

Complete Game

Keygen and I finished our game this morning. I guess I can officially claim the first win. Details? The game was won in the tech race although I had a sizable lead on the power graph. In the end, I was up a significant number of modern age tech and managed to force the issue with a paratrooper attack. Keygen put up a fight and showed a lot of class by playing it out.

It was too bad that Keygen didn't have more time to review the map as knowledge of how it plays and where the goods are gave me an advantage.

Anyway, who else is playing? Keygen has a game going with Dr. Doom and is hoping to get one going with Paul. Seems the 4 of us are the only people still involved in the tournament. That being the case, Paul, when would you like to play our game?

Congratulations Yoda. I see that you are very skilled at CTP and you are also gracious in victory. Good for you! Maybe we can continue our game some time. I know you had a lead, but I think I was only about 3 or 4 turns behind. I am officially out of the tournament, but if you like we can play a few more turns... maybe Saturday or Sunday morning -- for 2 or 3 hours?

[blackice]

Good Job people!

I could only send another 4 zips and your disk was full again. Let me know when I can send saves 10 - 12.

I wouldn't mind Quinns, but I don't think I have our game any longer. Perhaps we could start a new one though. I'll have to wait and see what the weekend looks like and post once I know if I'm free.

Okay Yoda. No problem, we can start anew. Sunday morning would be better for me, if you're free then.
