Robert,

AKA, Also Known As, the same as an alias.

Ok, I work Saturday, 22h00 to 06h00 your time, would be my 14h00-22h00, could play before or even from work, I have a laptop and WiFi access or I am off on Sunday and could play that day.  

Let me know which day works best for you and time and I will be there to either help you advance to PERFECTION or keep you in CHALLENGER!

Gonzalan alias Tony

I'm waiting for you in Perfection, dear Legend

Tony,

Je propose alors de jouer samedi à 18h (heure de Paris-Bruxelles), ok?

Amitiés,
Robert

Robert,

Saturday, 10h00 for me, 18h00 for you will be just fine. By then maybe you will know if you have to work hard to advance or if your place will already be earned.

See you Saturday, until then, enjoy your Friday.

Kind Regards,

Tony

Ah, Dear AiW, would be a pleasure to meet you there, but will not be easy.

1st, I must defeat #2 Robert53, 4-0 and have you defeat #3 Snoopmanu 4-0 and between both of those I have to make up a 19-7 medal difference between myself and Snoopmanu.  And then there is the matter of your brother, Merlinade, think he stands at #4 and 6 medal difference, would have to have him get at most 1 point and then would have the medal difference on him.

So, it is still possible, but must have everything go exactly to plan.  If not, I remain in CHALLENGER and will either await your return in 2018 or continue to chase you all the way up to EXCELLENCE!

Either way, will be a fun 2017 for both of us!!

Thank you for all your work with COOL and for just being COOL yourself.

Regards,

Your Dearest Legend

Gonzalan vs Robert 53

I am a complete failure!! I had a chance of growing my Myth and becoming a Living Legend in M'44 and I did not accomplish the task of possibly getting a podium finish in POULE SAMPSON, with AiW and Robert 53 already having earned a place before this match and my trying to make up ground on SNOOPMANU and/or VANDAMME37 and maybe finishing 3rd if my calculations were correct.

Gonzalan/AXIS vs Robert 53/ALLIES, 5-6 medals, 27-25 figures
Gonzalan/ALLIES vs Robert 53/AXIS, 6-3 medals, 23-19 figures

Gonzalan vs Robert 53, 11-9 medals, 50-44 figures

G2: https://www.daysofwonder.com/memoir44-online/en/battle/?id=51621554

Of course I kid on my opening remarks, a little inside joke between AiW and myself.

1st game was a 38 turn, 50 minute game and had plenty of twists and turns and misses on both sides. Think I had a BARRAGE on my 2nd turn that rid him of his ARTY and was a good start and then got another kill for a 2-0 lead and then my undoing, 4-23 on ARMOR, though he was only 3-11. I was 0-11 at 1st and if I had gotten a few hits more early, might have held back his ARMOR a bit and we shot 48% and 46% on INF. My other undoing, had plenty of chances to maybe finish and perhaps 6-3 or 6-4, missed a few shots at 1 figure units and being the good player Robert 53 is, he took advantage and eventually got the last OBJECTIVE medal to get the 5-6 victory.

2nd game, was 20 turns and 24 minutes and since I had nothing to lose, I was aggressive from the start and had some good cards and things worked to my advantage with killing his 2 INF on Hill 448 though he did kill an ARMOR unit of mine early on. From there, with my good cards and good dice, 59% on INF and 43% on ARMOR, I was able to take the 6-3 win after Robert 53 had a few misses of his own this game and got the 6-3 win, 3 pts and finished at 25 pts and came close to advancing to PERFECTION.

Congrats to AiW, Robert 53 and either Snoopmanu or Vandamme37 in finishing in the Top 3.

Think last year, lost to all the players about me and finished with 25 pts, this year, think I beat or tied all those above me and finished with 25 pts!! That is why we LOVE M'44!!

Thank you to all those involved in COOL, especially our own AURELIE IN WONDERLAND and MERLINADE and of course all the players in POULE SAMPSON, another fine edition of COOL 2016 and of course the FEDERATION FRANCAISE, a pleasure once again and will try my luck once again in 2017.

Gonzalan, one time LIVING LEGEND of M'44

Je confirme, si besoin était, ces résultats.
Au 29e mouvement de l'aller, j'ai oublié de bouger mes hommes activés sur la gauche, sans conséquence sur le résultat.
Au retour, sans deux ou trois imprécisions de ma part, j'aurais peut-être pu améliorer mon score d'une ou deux médailles tout au plus.
Félicitations pour cette victoire méritée de Gonzalan que je remercie pour cette agréable partie.
Je l'attends dans deux ans en Perfection (si je parviens à m'y maintenir l'année prochaine).
