Autumn, 1961: Wait, are you sure this isn't a live game? :) |

Spring, 1962: hehe I really should be working right now... |
30 Jul 19 UTC |
Autumn, 1962: That's okay, so should I. (I think you've got me here). |

Autumn, 1963: Well, this has taken a turn... .; |

Spring, 1964: Wow, no builds... What happened there? |

Spring, 1965: Whoops, spoke too soon. Leningrad's a thing. |

Autumn, 1965: I am *not* paying enough attention to the board. |

Autumn, 1965: I'm going to get overrun in the North US. |
30 Jul 19 UTC |
Autumn, 1965: That is true. But I'm going to get overrun in Europe, which is considerably worse. |

Spring, 1967: I'm sorry, I need to go now, but I'll be back tomorrow. This game is great by the way, the tables just keep turning. |

Spring, 1967: Okay that's cool. I'm really enjoying this one too. Catch you tomorrow. |
31 Jul 19 UTC |
Autumn, 1967: And we're back. |
31 Jul 19 UTC |
Autumn, 1968: I have to say, I'd been looking forward to this all day. |
31 Jul 19 UTC |
Yes, me too. I'm pretty sure its the longest and most fun I've had playing this variant. |

Really good game - congrats! That could have gone either way multiple times! ;) |

Phew, that was a good game. You put up a very good fight, and there were moments where I definitely felt out-manoeuvered. |
31 Jul 19 UTC |
Yes, this was a pretty long game. Both of us had moments of inspiration which allowed us to take the lead at points. |

I really needed to challenge your domination of Asia but I could never spare the resources as Europe was such as brawl. |
31 Jul 19 UTC |
Yeah, the moment of inspiration that quite possibly won me the game was shifting my spare fleet from North America around to help out with Oceania. (And of course the no-bounce in th Ionian, but that was just the final trick). And Europe was an absolute mess there, our units were very much soaked up trying to not lose ground. |

Also, playing at live speed very much increased my enjoyment of it. Much higher intensity. Once again, very good game. |
