@The_Good_Captain It seems the dice gods are not with you this first round 😅
12L '41 SouL(14) v Gamerman01
-
I roll in the bottom 9% about 50% of the time :lol:
Coure u didnt lose any air so theres a silver lining… Prolly i woulda lost a couple ftrs if it was a bona fide Bold signature battle. Yoshi believes i am cursed, and i think he may be onto something :-P
Well, that’s the beauty of attacking, I guess. If you have an abyssmal round, you can usually pull out and stop the bleeding. If it happens on defense, of course, they will polish you off with very few losses against your army that has been badly depleted in round 1…
And at least if you’re used to such bad dice, you go into battles half expecting it to happen. When it’s someone charmed like me, I don’t often have an exit strategy or plan B if I got shot to hell like I did here. Luckily this time I was OK, but Russia’s going to be a LOT harder now.
If SouL’s ever going to beat me, this is his chance.

I tend to agree.

You’re a good guy, SouL. Lesser gamers would have taken offense at that, and I meant none.
Now, let’s see what you did with Russia….
-
Aagh! Brutalized in return, and the Germans are so under control the reds are moving East, with an Empire stretching from Norway to Yunnan/Burma! :-o
North Africa’s firmly under control, the Italian fleet will soon be history, and there’s a massive fleet off California. It’s looking grim. Oh, and the Italians are fighting way better than the Germans. Wayyy better.

I’m not sure about one tank because you combat moved 3 into Ukraine but only rolled 2. You forgot the map. I can go ahead with Japan anyway, but let me know where that tank is.
I have 2 in Ukraine, 2 in Russia, 2 in Kazak, 3 in Nov…<groan></groan>

Igot the map.

Thanks - I was almost done with J but then had to leave
