Okay, enough is enough. Time for the American Yankee Legend to play Romania's Finest. We have agreed to the following:

- Best of 7

- Each game is bid out (1:5:30)

- No AA

- No landing on DOW turn against majors

I came across some fun odds on the Internet when searching for the Rambo vs Hellraiser (best of 7) exhibition

Odds 4.5 for Johnny J to give up all games at/before fall of Paris? :D

Odds 2.5 that Rambo will get burned out and retire before the games are completed :D

Odds 3.0 that at leist one game will hit the 20 hour mark :D

Odds 1.25 that Zappsweden will beat the winner of this game afterwards :D (refund if the Zapp games have not been played before December 31, 2005)

October 1940 -

- France surrenders

- RN is missing a ton of ships (I'll have to check the losses), Germans only have 1-cruiser left.

- UK has Jets+1

- Two of the UK corps got headcracked in Brest & Beudeaux.

- no polish breakthru; denmark dowed;

- turn 2 - germany get LC; allied corps capture essen; RAF+carrier kill a LF - (FAF used as well) - the rest of the 2 german air got engaged for 2 turns consecutively;

-turn 3 - allies capture hamburg; poland still fights on;

- feb 4, 40 - second LF destroyed by a carrier; Poland surrendered 2 turns ago; allies still hold hamburg;

- due to a mistake (forgetting to block the passing near london port) a german cruiser kills a RAF and another hits a carrier from 8 to 5 :( ;

denmark and hamburg captured last turn;

Rambo surrenders. RAF + carrier scored huge hits - extremely good odds for allies.

Game #2 goes to Hellraiser ;)

I'm stopped by Poland & Air Defense. Al Turning had to show up with his radar, this was an ass raping. I lost 2-LF in seconds, went thru me like butter.

Rambo dude, I am watching. Here is my advice.

Game #1: You hunted Allied Navy in 1940, get Paris instead

Game #2: You lost to the 245 bid, ZAS has evolved into killer strategies when bids go that high (ZAS will often beat a failed Polish breakthrough with that high bid)

Seems the 4.5 odds of Rambo giving up all games prior to fall of Paris failed so all guys who put your salary on it must feel disappointed in Rambo now :D
