Anyway, don't feel any sympathy for him, he deserves it after telling me last time that I only won Conquest because he wasn't playing. Hehehe. <br /><br />I think he just continued on my lackadaisical approach anyway because for some inexplicable reason he decided to call a game, that for anyone else would have been a win, a draw (aka loss for both) instead. So we thoroughly enjoyed it without being 'bad husbands'Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837051353071347442.post-31252788146223071132011-11-02T16:42:36.069+13:002011-11-02T16:42:36.069+13:00Against Pooch I never assume the game is won or lo...Against Pooch I never assume the game is won or lost until the last die is rolled- one or the other of us seems to turn the game round by doing something silly and grabbing an improbable victory- however I too thought he well and truly had it in the bag until the last turn or so. <br /><br />I especially liked the way you got into some sticky situations then dropped Chris into it and left him to sort it out :) Team play is a good way to allow players with other things to deal with the still get to play and was glad it allowed both you and Chris to participate- pity you guys didn't know sooner so that you could have agreed on which list to use. <br /><br />I enjoyed the Comp the most out of any Conquest in a long time and really do see a bright future for FoW in CHCH these days. <br /><br />CraigCraig Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14592543210821530318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837051353071347442.post-35782875558361836752011-11-02T15:05:28.986+13:002011-11-02T15:05:28.986+13:00Holy, I am glad I didn't go with 3 King Tiger&...Holy, I am glad I didn't go with 3 King Tiger's in the end, I would have been slaughtered!

It may look older but it is great to have such an open table (but still so well balanced) with a different set of challenges in the comp.<br /><br />I don't think massed tanks would have given you any more trouble on most of those missions/tables - that FFA one would have been the worst and the only two all-armoured (well I had tankos) armies got to cancel each other out there. <br /><br />It was really good to see Conquest get such a response and a shame I couldn't really participate that much but I had fun with what I did and got to be there to see Pooch saying he had it in the game vs you but failing to touch wood! Then the infamous curse of Craig struck. You do have a very good end-game.<br /><br />Stephen, your local FOW section did great overall. Now if we can only get some list diversity!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369646895032210867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837051353071347442.post-18994274907866385482011-11-02T07:28:16.908+13:002011-11-02T07:28:16.908+13:00More Soviets?
