G40 BM3 SIMON33 allies v JWW

@JWW:

I am tired of these dice…getting 1-2 to a slow death, everywhere it seems, again and again…

This game isn’t going your way but I was pretty surprised by the J4 DOW as well as the naval build by Germany. Italy is doing well but well enough?

Besides, aren’t dice a part of the game?

trying to mix it up, axis Dominion gave me a few lessons a while back beating me as the axis w/a huge Euro axis push on Russia and then with a huge euro axis navy. yeah J4 DOW is to hold the americans off for as long as possible, perhaps a bad tactic…none of it really matters if either of us are hitting at 50% for 2 consistently early in the game. I am losing lots of $, Germany should not of had to lose the EGY 5NO because of crete, or had to use a cr to block the usa or the ITA air being decimated on T1 etc etc…early game bad dice hurts the most but you are right it is the fog of war these dice and sometimes good people get bad dice…and sometimes I get bad dice.  8-) :lol: :evil:

wow, I was thinking when I started to roll NWY, I am going to lose two planes and sure enough……then that battle WTH, one hit for the Germans and 3-4 for two for your D in Rd1…what a wipe out…I don’t have the stomach for this continued dice beat down. Sorry but I guess I am not up to another challenge like this! I think I may take a short break too.

Thanks for the games Simon! I will post your victory.

Bad dice always make it hard. Thanks for the game.
