absolutely miserable attack - i mean really, what does it take for these allies to get anything to go right.

you will obviously lose 8 infantry with that horrible attack.

PER defense

we all know what’s coming here.  i predict at LEAST 15 hits.

[LuckyLindy]

bomber hits and you were probably upper 15% again after I was lower 15% or worse…  joke.

if i wasn’t seeing it i wouldn’t believe it.

D - bomber, 3 artillery, 11 tanks, 2 fighters

[LuckyLindy]

if that had happened in the first round we could have still had a game…

your only real casualty choice here is whether to keep the bomber or not.  it rolled a 3 in the second round so an infantry would have missed as well.

since I’m probably retreating after this round let’s just see your defense and you can pick your round 3 casualties later…

[LuckyLindy]

very disappointing.  probably my last good chance to make a dent in your advantage and I went backwards.

fyi - as much as you thought this game was over a couple of rounds ago, it wasn’t - but these dice are going to do me in.

retreat to CAU with 7 tanks

If you’d rather have a Japanese tank than an Italian bomber you can switch it out  (the bomber coming off wouldn’t have given you any more hits since it rolled a 3 in rounds two and three).

not sure if I posted the right map, use this one.

not to be a stick in the mud but you shorted me 3 inf in rd 2 where I should have had 11@2 vs the eight you rolled.

You then found or rolled correctly for my round 3 defense. So I should have a roll of 3@2 and if I hit you would have less inf to attack with on R3.

I can’t imagine I will hit with all three so whatever I roll I will just accept your inf attack results in rd3Rolls: 3@2; Total Hits: 23@2: (5, 2, 1)

[666]

So I will keep your 1 inf hit and let that unit live but I will take 2 arm out of your cau armor retreat.

Please review that battle to ensure I have’nt screwed up.

to be clear, I didn’t say it was over a few rounds ago, I just proclaimed my feeling that the axis WOULD prevail. I understand your attacks into per and chi but I don’t think, even if they had been successful that it would have ultimately changed the outcome. This is only my opinion and I could certainly have been wrong in my assumption. Let me know what you find out concerning the last battle.

you’re right, i missed your rolls for the three artillery in round 2.  take two more russian tanks, why not?  probably takes your results from upper 10% to upper 3% in that battle  :-P

literally EVERY big battle has blown up in my face (with the exception of your Japan attack on BUL which went slighly in my favor)… it’s quite difficult to believe but hey what can you do, it’s a risk that cannot be avoiided.
