Fred peut recoller et Gonzalan peut confirmer : Voilà l’enjeu.

Hello FredMK79,

J6 is here and our turn to engage in battle.

7 hr difference between us, Colorado USA for me. I can play most days once I return from work, my 07h30-08h00 and your 14h30-15h00 or in the evening, say starting at my 14h00 and your 21h00.

I also do not work Thurs, Fri and Sat of each week and can play Sun as well as I do not work until 04h00 on your Mon morning.

Let me know what might work for you.

Regards,

Gonzalan alias Tony

I confirm the results of my match with FredMK79.

Game 1: https://www.daysofwonder.com/memoir44-online/en/battle/?id=63340305

A good back and forth battle, 30 turns, dice were 52-46 me and 48%-39% overall me, helped greatly by Fred's 2-19 on Armor that made the big difference. Was 2-5 early to get it to 1 fig and then 0-14 after that on the Armor unit including 1 die with A/P and 4 with Barrage!!  And in a scenario where units can funnel to the CENTER, I had 5 and he had 6 cards in the CENTER, section cards and we each had some Command cards, but we had turns at times with only flank cards and I survived long enough to win 6-4.

Game 2, 27 turns, dice 40-50 him and 52%-50% overall me, better shooting on both sides and again CENTER cards difficult to come by and on Turn 8, I play BEL with a 1 fig INF on the road to move 4 hexes, no AMBUSH, go 2-4 on his ARTY to kill and then EXIT and replay done and that is how the match went for FredMK79. 2-19 on ARMOR for him, me 2-4 on ARTY and well, that is M'44.  After that, toward the end game, we both struggled to get the card we each needed to finish and I was lucky to finally get a card and win 6-5.

Tough luck match for FredMK79 and a lucky 4-0 pts win for me.  Either game could have gone the other way and was just my turn this match, fortunately and since I have Mr. Robot, Mr. Undefeated, Mr. Indestructible, Mr. Invincible or as he is known in human form, Drexxer, next in J7, the 4 pts gives me a cushion of sorts to get clobbered in J7 and still keep me in the running for Top 4!

I did nothing special other than to have Fred miss at key times and I want to thank him for his great attitude and sportsmanship during our match.  As he said, "a game", but one we all like to win at and I was lucky this match to do so.

A pleasure Fred and good luck the rest of the way.

Gonzalan
