Gamerman v JWW (axis) 12 bid, part 2

[gamerman01]

Yeah, cost me the game once
Italy promptly pounced on the Suez canal and helped Japan win the game by helping with India.  By about round 5 I think - it was fast
Terrible dice in SE Asia in that game too, so bad combination

Oh for just a little bit of this luck in the playoffs, but no
It’s just been brutal

[gamerman01]

I’ve been trying hard not to complain about it, but good grief

In 2 battles I missed 18 AA shots, then turn around and counterattack with the Russians and lose half my airforce in one throw of the dice.  2 out of 3 hits for HIS AA

Hard to believe it’s only in round 6, I could rattle off quite a list of disappointing battles.
I hope you don’t charge for this therapy session

[666]

I am back in the country and looking forward to resuming. I see you are up……continue when you can.

[666]

I take it your are occupied
