Just looking to whittle 'em down…

[Guest]

[boldfresh]

lose the UK bomber.

[boldfresh]

just looking to whittle them down is the story of my A&A life.  everytime someone tries to “whittle down” one of my big stacks, it goes all the way down.

[boldfresh]

stunningly bad defensive rolling combined with very good offensive rolling.  ouch.

If you manage to do the UK by the time I get home, I will do Italy before going to bed

I will probably resign and we can start the bidding for game 3 but let me have a look tomorrow when I can survey the damage on a map.

I have weathered a lot of bad luck lately (in almost every game I am playing) but that was probably a death blow.

No problem at all…I have looked at both Italian fleets and the UK will have a hard time sinking either one. Which will leave open a triple amphibious assault on Gibralter, Algeria, and the UK. If they are successful, the Axis will have the 15 VCs required for victory and the Americans have no troops close enough to liberate any of them.

You may start the bidding if you like. We can even start the next game if you wish to continue this one.
