@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:

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
