are you kidding me???  again no AA hits?   :lol:  Oh and just ten more damage?   :roll:

you will not believe this but TDJ has flown over AA at least 20 times in our game and been hit ZERO times.  You have been hit ZERO out of your last who knows how many, and Zhukov has been hit ZERO for his last 10 or 15 in our game (i think i’ve hit him once all game).

And, get this, I just attacked FRA against Zhukov, taking in 10 aircraft and predicted that after all my AA misses I would probably get hit 50% and guess how many hits I took.  You guessed it - FIVE.  I don’t understand this INSANE dice run I am on.

My you have a short memory. You shot down a Ger bmb on the previous turn and a Jap bmb the turn before.  :-)

haha, oh that’s right I have actually been able to hit you a couple times lately.  but since then in my other games i’ve been 0/20 or so, so I guess it’s made me forget the two hits against you.  of course if I recall, those hits i got against you were LONG overdue…  :lol:

You were cursed in the Zhukov game. You were fortunate in your attack on Euk early but after that it was certainly one sided. You strategies are sound though. Good things will happen for you.

Yes EUK was fortunate, but I only made the EUK attack because I was forced into a corner by earlier even worse luck.

So I agree I was cursed.  It went something like:  bad luck, bad luck, good luck, terrible luck, worse luck, worse luck, bad luck, blah, and ended with monumentally bad luck.
