I have been known to cuss during an especially nasty replay or an unexpected defense fire or melee result and yes I have gone to bed, turn uncompleted, thoughts of possible moves shuffling through my head...perchance to dream, to sleep on it.
Least now I know I’m not alone in many of these particular habits. Course I am never alone when fighting these battles as my trusted chief of staff cat, Bubba is always in his chair next to me, napping or looking for an ear or belly scratched. Most of the time he wants nothing to do with me or anybody else for that matter but as soon as I set down at the computer he comes and jumps into his chair where he stays till I finish.
I am glad I am not alone about thinking of moves . I am usually up until about 2:00 AM (it is 1:40 AM ,now), so am playing games just before sleep time. I do think of some battles as I go to sleep and run over the map in my mind.
ALSO, my cat, Buttons, quite often is sitting on the back of my chair, dozing or sometimes offering critiques of my play. Sometimes she will get down and try to walk over my keyboard to her second favorite comfort zone, right in front of my monitor. This does make it hard to see the map. After I put her on the floor, she will start yelling at me to go to bed!!!
Well, I see someone has just sent me a turn, so I have time for ONE more!!
