I lost the file after Italy rolled dice and had to reload.

All edits reflect dice results and same exact moves as posted earlier.

If concerned please check MARTI dice emails.

Sorry about this. Will be more careful next time.

@weddingsinger:

Sorry about that.  The gal came home ill.

Where are you located?

No worries of course…hope she is fine.

I’m in Fayetteville, NC, so most likely we will be fine. Two years ago when Hurricane Mathew came through, parts of Fayetteville lost power for about a week. Also, there was a 3 day boil tap water alert. But otherwise, being inland, we should be fine.

And by the way, when is Japan going to roll some dang monster defense rolls?

Never.  Japan is never going to roll well.

I was born and spent first few years of life at Seymour Johnson AFB, so not very far from you.

I suppose the biggest danger is overland flooding, right?  Waterways can’t drain to the ocean anymore…

In some parts south of where I live, flooding is a real concern. Lumberton was flooded.

Where I’m at, it’s mainly losing power and having to drink bottled water for a few days. We’re all stocked up.

Germany is murdering the allies this game. Pathetic defense rolls for the Allies in Norway. That’s an 84 TUV swing (84 IPCs worth of unit value exchange)! Must be demoralizing for Churchill.

No way the Axis can’t win this game. It will take me to round 11 - 15 to prove it (Victory City win).

Yeah, I’m shocked I’ve held out this long.

The real mistake was sending U.S. bombers to Norway at all.  I’m not sure, but suspect I would have cleared out SZ6 and been prepping the invasion fleet by now

@weddingsinger:

Once Moscow is taken out, any money spent in London…or messing with Norway is a waste of resources better used preparing for the defense of the Middle East (too late now) or Cairo.

But it’s easy for me to say that considering Germany just murdered the Allies in Norway.

I’ve only lost Tokyo one time…and it was an epic game that went to like round 26 against Cow. I was stuck at Trans/Jordan…and I was done playing the game…had like 36% odds to take Cairo, said screw it and went for it. Than conceded the game. He had like 40 US fighters guarding Cairo and 20+ UK fighters…ect…I had like a similar amount of planes. We both had a ton of ground.

I don’t really ever go for SZ 6 as the Allies. Doesn’t seem to work out well for me.
