It hits P500, makes 500 preorders in six hours! I am 586th myself. 2020-04-27T06:30:05Z Comment by John Sy Also, tell Mark that the streaming can be done through Twitch. 2020-03-25T12:10:45Z Comment by John Sy I actually have a picture of the three of us over the EotS board. Too bad I can't share it on this venue. 2020-03-25T12:05:41Z Comment by John Sy I also remembered the second game they played...the one where Mark said he was hanging on for dear life but lost. I only caught the tail end of that game. It was Turn 4 and Mark was desperately fighting to keep the Philippines. I remembered that he shuttled Australians to help in the defense. Anyway, by sheer coincidence (and I think Mark mentioned this in passing) Bruce was able to play both Tojo and Tokyo Rose against Mark to bring Mark's PW total to one. He was able to defend the Philippines by the end of Turn 4. They were getting ready to go to Turn 5 when I mentioned that Mark,as the Allies, had not made Progress of War that turn at all! That cost him his last PW and lost the game. So if I had just shut my trap, he would not have lost. But I sensed that Mark, in the spirit of fair play, was glad I pointed that out. 2020-03-25T12:04:08Z Comment by John Sy I remembered that Mark had invited me to help Bruce a bit with the rules and I did. i was so excited to play EotS against Mark himself. I was helping Bruce so much with his opening Japanese move that Mark goodnaturedly mentioned that Bruce was supposed to be playing. I took the hint and got up and left. That was the game that he mentioned he took Truk and Bruce resigned soon thereafter. 2020-03-25T11:59:49Z Comment by John Sy Hi Harold! Just listening to the podcast while I was on the treadmill and wanted to tell you that I was at that game that Mark played against Bruce Geryk at Consimworld that he talks about at around the 21:00 mark of the podcast 2020-03-25T11:57:27Z
