Hello Owen,

it's my confession, Owen, "be peaceful to everyone on Christmas Eve!". So I will skip my turn today(!).
I'm sure in the past the troops used the same argument. Bombs yes, but on Christmas Eve: No, never! We are good Christians.

Happy X-mas, to you and your family!

Kind regards

Klaus

PS: Here's a little taunt, my free X-mas gift! I can't help doing it.
It's a four-step-distance from A14 to 126 and not a five-step-distance.

hello klaus. i think that is pretty much me all done. very little i can do apart from take a cruise around the islands on my boat sorry for not being a better opponent, just learning, but will spend time to practise for the revenge match and try the puzzle book. thanks for a great game, have learned a lot from playing with you and enjoy the remainder of the holidays, try not to be too cruel all the best for now, owen

Hello Owen,

it was a great pleasure to play with you and especially to read your remarks! It's a good idea to study the Puzzle Book. It's even better to practise "learning by doing". So I'm looking forward to the revenge match! And try to convince some friends to play Grand Conquest on this website! So we would be able to use the 4-player-board, too. In my opinion it's a better choice to play an excellent game more often than to play hundreds of fair games one or two times in total.
I don't want to have the last word always. So please, Owen, your last remark...

Kind regards

Klaus

hello klaus. how about:

B702 - 726 => 6
B707 -714 => 4
--------------------
10

its more than one last word, but i'm sure your reply will be interesting

my mission is to last more than 10 turns! yes, i think a 4 player game would be a lot of fun, maybe after this game so i wont be a liability to my partner

all the best, owen.
