maunaloa AMD vs AT_Angel6

0 : 3

First game was very close, Maunaloa had longest and +8 on the board, I won by 1 with 30:11 in tickets

Next two games I started both and got 15 locos overall with good tickets - so no chance there

Thx for the games Maunaloa

Karin1961 vs Sysy :
1 vs 3


1st game : Port Nsah La Ny vs Van Mon Ny atl (her start)
131 vs 113

Colours are average for me, I start with black, 6 yellow for her. She picks orange open, i have 8, i play them.
She goes up north to montreal, then ny, connects 3 pinks to slc. I made my way to port, then 2 to ny and 3 to nash...
She lays lr oak but i'm fine either way via dallas...
I have 2 pairs and a 3er... She's ahead in track points, i draw. I find sea ny sea la... I keep only one to limit the blocks, quite surprised to see sea ny in there !

Wooohoo.


2nd game : Mon no ssm nash ny atl vs tor mia ssm oak (my start)
116 vs 92



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

6 orange vs 6 orange on grey.
5 black vs 6 pinks.
3 blue to ny vs 3 ssm dul.
4 yellow vs 2 to pitt.
2 ny vs 1 to Atl.

Then gets tricky for me. Short of blue and reds and out of yellow and orange, connecting atl is gonna be interesting.

I take red open to limit her way to mia.
6red vs 5 blue.
3 green vs 3 white : i thought she wanted to block but was building her way to oak.

2 to St louis vs 2 to St louis .
I'm full of white, i can connect via tor.
I have enough trains to connect ny atl, limiting the chance of a good draw from karin when i could have dropped ny atl and finished one turn faster.


3rd game : Sf atl den paso vs la ny dallas ny (her start)
85 vs 98

Shetakes black faster than me, looks pretty bad...

I lay 6 green vs 2 Oak Lr.
5 yellow vs 4 red to dallas.
I take open red and blue.
I lay 5 blue vs 3 white to nash. She goes 3 to sf, i lay orange to sf.
2 to ny for her, 2 to no for me, then I lay 5 pink to port hoping to kill it.
She doesn't block slc den, i therefore complete my colours greedily... and next turn, take that in your face.

My hope is not destroyed yet, a dead port nash gives me the win and... nope lol.

Bit pissed at myself, I made my way pretty well, and should have pulled it out...
Good work from karin too !





4th game game : Van fe den pitt vs sea la dul hou (my start)
120 vs 109

I'm short on yellow and orange, but i play offensive (how weird) laying 3 locos on orange, then 6 yellow for her.

6 white vs 5 red.
4 Sea Cal for me, 1 to port, 6 blue & 3 SF LA for her with pink.
6 grey for me vs 2 to dul...

Hmmmm, i smell something like dul paso rather than la chi since she played blue earlier.

I go for the crazy way laying 6 black.. My tix now requires 45 trains without a single block. She looks busy, and i had the start, so I'm pretty confident...

3 to phoe for her, my 4 green / 3 to paso, my to 2 to sf.
She blocks fe paso. My 6 blacks = 3 turns for her hihi !
Then 1 to van + 2 to tor and 6 pinks launches the last turn. She goes with 6 green and my 2 to pittsburg. Pfew, worked out well


Game were pretty balanced, luckier on my side with a good draw in game 1, then better tix in eastern game 2!

Grats to ommie that faced a German-speaking lobby by herself !!

Thx Karin !
