L13 G40 Snake11eyes(Allies+10) v Gamerman01, no tech, game 2

[gamerman01]

:cry: This is why I don’t like taking the Axis  :cry: Japan fighting 5 enemies at once and not really beating any of them.

Next time I will state clearly “No, I don’t want to give you the Allies +10 for the 2nd game”  :lol:

[Guest]

Russians love the Korea cash  :wink:

[gamerman01]

Agh!  You’re making it worse - don’t rub it in!  :lol:

Probably moving tonight

Japanese have to figure out what in the world to do.

Basically hang on for dear life

[gamerman01]

Almost…… got it…

[gamerman01]

No

Way

Worst luck ever

[gamerman01]

Unbelievable!!  The defense against the Japanese this entire game has been absolutely ridiculous

[gamerman01]

Oh my goodness

Between each post I’m getting hammered again

[gamerman01]

Finally, got lucky on the last one

The one I would have been HAPPY to take my average 2 hits

If the board was here, I would flip it.  Except I wouldn’t, because I still have a shot at winning.

Sick, sick, sick what has happened with the dice to Japan.  Way over 50% rate on defending infantry, consistently.  100% rates when it hurts the most.  Every round.

Oh
my  :x  :x  :cry:  :cry:

Highly, highly frustrating.

That said, do not let up one bit.  My experience will still make me very dangerous and you still have your work cut out for you this game.

But man, you have got SOOOO many more hits in the Pacific theater than normal.  It has absolutely killed every single thing I’ve tried to do - I’ve been thwarted by the dice in almost every single battle.

Rant over.  Until next Japan turn.  :-)

[gamerman01]

And yes your counter-attack on Burma was sub-par, but I had SEVERAL less units there than could be reasonably expected.  Early dice always matters more than later dice because of cumulative effects.

Anyway….

May you get diced hard with America.  Just to even things up a bit.  ARRRRGH!!

OK, now the rant is over.  Until next Japan turn.  :x

Yeah, I here ya.  I think you should look over the combat history of Japan first, though.  This might be rivalling some of your worst experiences.

Couple games in a row like this, and I’ll need to take a MiamiUMike break.

The Japs have definitely had a rough shake

[gamerman01]

Of course my infantry in India missed.

It is continuing to be a tough challenge to play this game, which is good.

I just prefer to roll my opponents  :-)
