 Post subject: Those turnless days
PostPosted: Tue Dec 20, 2005 1:44 am 
Being someone who has fairly stable habits--I like my two hours, but not more!, of gaming and club admin every night that I am home, and I also like to return turns as quickly as possible--I have come to dread the days where all my opponents conspire with all my superiors and subordinates to send me about 20 game turns and all the admin load for a week on a single day so that trying to get rid of it before dinner is rather hopeless.

However, I find days where I get <u>no turns at all</u>, even though they are infinitely rarer, equally disturbing. 20 or so games in 5 different clubs, and not a single turn? That, surely, must be some sort of conspiracy as well. Or has wargaming become unfashionable over night and nobody told me? Are all wars over and eternal peace is upon us? What a dreadful notion!

Would somebody have mercy with this poor addict and send at least a single turn in the remaining four hours before I get home? Else I should be reduced to <u>reading</u> which is, afterall, what I am doing all day anyway as part of my job. [:0]

Ah, I knew it ... now everyone is sending me the "18 units routed ..." turns. Send me those where I am winning! [}:)]

Ah a gift greater than pearls- the opponent who reguraly sends his turn each and every day like clockwork. Its even better if he fights hard but suffers defeat!![:p]

Hic! You can have my next turn when I've sobered up after the celebrations.....maybe mid January[xx(]

Only 18 units routed? That's nothing. My record was 198 in NIR.

Anyway the NRC multiplayer game should still be with your side.

Turned out I had enough to do yesterday night afterall ... thanks not the least to Andy's relentless pursuit of Montbrun's poor cavalry corps near the Sacred Valley with his dreaded unroutable Russian infantry. [xx(]
