Tim, Sorry to see this. I don't mind playing with a person new to the game or Vassal. Would welcome you continuing |

Sorry, Mike, but I am a new player trying to learn the game and although you were gracious enough to exchange Vassal files so that we both could see what's going on in the game, the other guy I'm playing refuses to do that (and keeps changing what he wrote in ACTS when I question him about incomprehensible moves) and I have decided that a new player like me should not continue in this tournament. I hereby forfeit this game to you. Enjoy the rest of your games! |
