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

@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:

this is the world i live in gamer.  welcome to my a&a hell.  :lol:

@Boldfresh:

this is the world i live in gamer.  welcome to my a&a hell.   :lol:

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  :-)

[gamerman01]

Why did you take my sub off in 36?  I would have taken a hit to the carrier

[gamerman01]

37, rather

infantry misses, tank misses, bomber misses
So frustrating

[Guest]

My apologies I was thinking about your plane dumping into the sea but just realized it would sit in Malaya.

[gamerman01]

Actually it’s going to Shan State

For a guy who sees that he can drill my bomber on Shan……  :-)

[gamerman01]

Or Siam

3 options!!  :-)

[Guest]

Lol tunnel vision while in the battle apparently

[gamerman01]

Change purchase of art, armor to a fighter

[gamerman01]

Wait…. I have a different idea…

Buy 2 DD, save 1 IPC
