hello klaus. sorry for the long delay, been doing a million and one things here. i liked the commando raid with the camel. nice. wish i could find something equivalent, but not yet

here goes:

S 132 - E131 =1
Es 131- 705 =2
Ges 705 - 701 =1
N115 - A17 = 3
130R = 2
125R = 2
B 768 - 723 = 4

ok. i know thats going to cause me lot of grief. waiting for the next commando raid! all the best, owen.

Hello Owen,

you invited me to do the next commando raid with the camel. I like it, hopefully you like it a little bit nevertheless.

That's the turn 6:

Bes524 - 518 => 3
Gds507 - 603 => 4
Ds603 - 180 => 5
S180 x Cs129 => 1
S129 - D180 => 1
Ds180 - 183 => 2
S183 x S184 => 1
S184 - D183 => 1
Ds183 x E179 => 1
G603 - 602 => 1
------------
20 points

It's always interesting (for me, too!) to find the best moves. Maybe there are even better moves!

All the best

Klaus

hello klaus. that was very nice. perfect commando raid, i am impressed. i just don't see these things, and you punish me for it! anyway, my feeble response is:

Ges 701-704 =1
Es 704 x Ds 183 = 5
Es183 - 704 = 5
Gk 711- 714 = 3
Ges 704 - 732 =6

i am starting to lose horribly again. have we reached turn 10?

maybe one day i will get the hang of it. looking forward to your next instalment of what i suspect will be another rout! all the best for now, owen.

Hello Owen,

here's my turn 7:

Bes518 - 503 => 4
G602 - 506 => 2
B834 - 816 => 3
K232 - 805 => 1
B811 - 800 => 1
Gk805 - 839 => 8
S258 - 257 => 1
-------------
20 action points

I'm sure this match will take longer than the last match (10 turns), at least one turn longer. And that would be a progress! So concoct a plan, Owen, and you could be the one who wins after turn 11.

Kind regards

Klaus

[klepper1]

hello klaus. here's my next moves. nothing inspirational

S122 -124 = 1
S πK 123 = 10
732 - 705 = 5
125R = 2
130R =2

all the best for now, owen.

[Klaus]

Hello Owen,

you need 6 points for the move Ges732 - 705. So you have to redo a part of your turn.

Greetings

Klaus

[klepper1]

hello klaus. yep, can't count. cancel 130R. hope all is well with you, all the best, owen.

[Klaus]

Hello Owen,

Gk714 - 701 => 5
K701 Δ Ges705 => 1

Owen, the pieces will be less vulnerable if you try to build formations and avoid to let them abandoned.

Best regards

hello klaus. yes, something went wrong. i have the game set up on my floor, and i did not have the b 723. so didn't see isolated piece. i must have got my pieces mixed up somehow. that was a disaster. i had the B705 and not 723. i must have been playing about last weekend and missed putting it back to its location. the Ges was next to the Gk 214 as well, so i thought i had that covered. i have gone back looking at the posts and yes, i did have the b723. aargh. i think this is a perfect example of us using photoshop elements with your online board. next game we will have to do that. anyway, it now looks very desperate for me. i think i might concede defeat on this one. do you want to start again, this time we will post moves on the photoshop map. all the best for now, owen.
