He was only 1 hit above average. Yes he had a lot of infantry hits, but the 2’s and 3’s were below average, pulling his overall result right back down
-
Never mind. I just noticed your lousy defense.
Dang right he deserved it - man, almost nothing bad has happened to you the whole game, Yoshi.
That sub surviving in Z2 on UK1 and then punishing the fleet in Z8 without losing a single plane was killer -
Round 1 was nice but my men didn’t keep up the momentum. In all the battle was only a top 30% result. Allies will need something better than that to catch up in this game. I should start having more free time for A&A soon so I can keep up a reasonable pace, I will look at Japan’s move tonight.

I am away from the web this week end, so I should not look at that before sunday evening (europa time). Take your time.

Indeed, it will take a lot of luck to make up for the first couple rounds. It will be amazing if you can pull this off, Tyzoq

That looked like a last gasp, desperate win or resign attack. Can’t blame you. It’s a slow death otherwise.
Are you quitting?
-
My chances weren’t great of that succeeding but that looked like my best shot to equalize the game. Part of the reason for choosing that battle was that the consequences for me aren’t too great, I may still see another smaller chance to come back into this game.
So the short answer is… I will never surrender!
