:) Say buh bai to those last 2 fighters. :) America coming again to save the mother fucking day!

[Zhukov44]

thats some bs, average is I have 5-6 fighters left.  Pretty decisive dicing.

[Cow]

That was a cool guts n glory battle. I am all about making big things happen.

Man you got to play the allies like a desperate lunatic if you want to win. Don’t judge me!

[Cow]

You know there was a 12% chance of me winning right? Imagine if you lost.

[Cow]

Sweet UK and USA will be in the pipe 5 by 5. Prepare your beaches!

[Cow]

I should have bought some bombers last turn. I could have won that. Oh wellz :D Now I got to fly everything to Russia!  I got to prepare my transports.

Good times.

[Zhukov44]

@Cow:

You know there was a 12% chance of me winning right? Imagine if you lost.

I thought it would favor me if you decided to take it.  I’m not in a position in this game where I can afford to turn down a battle where the average result favors me that much.

I dunno if I would have taken that risk in your shoes but I’m not saying it was a bad move.  I don’t believe you needed to take the risk, but I see the reasoning that your stuff was trapped so why not go for the 12%.
