Finally a little redemption. Told you the dice would come our way eventually.  :evil:

[Canuck12]

Well fcuk if scrambling works that well lets do it again!

I thought you might have learned your lesson Noll…

I’m thinking full scramble and I have a feeling Mussolini is thinking the same.

You may go ahead if you like.

ya well, I had good odds on baltic, except i did a fair bit better than average, sz6 was purely damn bad american dice and was a slaughter since america had 90% ish.

[ghr2]

so it went from 60-40 pro allied dice, to 60-40 pro axis dice at least.

[Canuck12]

Hahaha! Well that’s the thing about dice isn’t it. Sometimes they go Axis, sometimes they go Allies. I still haven’t been able to figure out why!

I quit counting ratios long ago. We’re gonna roll a lot of dice in this one. Good luck keeping track. In the end, we all face the exact same probability. But while you’re at it, remember that the Axis had some pretty weak dice against the French as well. The ghosts of 3 mech infantry and 4 artilleries can attest to that….

[ghr2]

thats true.  but u did spread ur forces a bit thin round 1

[ghr2]

mechs and rtl are alot cheaper than planes

@Noll:

GL

You shouldnt mess with JAPAN. Due yourself a favor and abandon the Pacific ASAP.

[ghr2]

ah, that was a just a warm-up, wait untill america goes all over your business.

[Most Holy]

Canuck has permission to make Italy’s turn as I’m too busy playing FTF today and I don’t want to hold up the game.

[Canuck12]

“As the tanker enters the narrow Alaskan waters of Prince William Sound on a foggy March morning, the captain, seemingly too busy to pilot the ship, hands duties to his first mate….”

“You can take 'er from here boy. Just don’t fcuk up while I’m gone!”

I will look at the map and if I see something awesome I will execute, any difficult decisions though should really be left to the commander-in-chief as opposed to a regent.

@Canuck12:

Germans roll dice for 1 fighter, 2 infantry and 4 tactical_bombers in Eastern Poland, round 1 :  7/7 hits

To kill 1 infantry… could have used that another time.

On the other hand I guess dice is now like 80/20 for the Axis!
