L17 Playoffs - BM2 - Shin Ji (Allies) vs PP (Axis +10)

[Private-Panic]

Bloody SBRs! Why do I nearly always lose a bomber when I SBR?

[Shin-Ji]

That’s why I’m not generally a fan of them.  Other than Germany bombing Russia, I very rarely find them worth the trouble, and that was before fighters defended at 2!  Others swear by them, tho, so what do I know?

[Private-Panic]

More than me clearly!

Thanks Shin, but I will be moving one back! When you see what I do with it I hope that is okay.

Actually - I think that is having it both ways, as I did not expect to have this option when I did G last. So will leave as is.

Darn it! :-o

That could cost me this game! But with a 70% + chance I had to go for it. It started badly then improved a bit - if just one of your last 2 dice had missed I would have been in. :-P

Going for a sulk now. Better win 1941! :cry:

[Shin-Ji]

I wondered if you’d go for it.  I was expecting you to win but lose most of your air in the process, then you’d be in trouble from Russia.

So, is that game, or would you like to finish this?
