@Karl7:

The dice!  Again! ouch!

Oh, I forgot to kill your trns with Anzac sub.  I edited the move if ok.

And I forgot to kill yours last turn with Japan when you left it there undefended. Either I get my transports back or yours dies. Your choice  :-D

I reread that and I saw how it could come across as being rude. That wasn’t intended, I just was trying to say that I meant to attack your transport with an air and just forgot to. I rechecked my moves before moving on to combat and saw the red sz and just figured I’d already sent something there. I’m cool either way, so long as it applies to both of our units.

BTW, I didn’t ask for intercept orders since I figured you wouldn’t scramble a single fighter against 3 strats and 4 escorting fighters. We can roll all those 1s manually if you want to try a 1 vs 7 air battle. I’d be happy if you so chose.  :evil:

GOD DAMN!  I have not shot down a bomber yet with my AA yet!  This is rediculous!  Bhah!

Last game we played you shot down 4 of my bombers with aa’s….  :x

oh well…

Oh, yeah, kill the Anzac trn, that is fine. I wondered why you didn’t …

[seth4god]

For some reason I either get incredibly lucky against aa or incredibly diced. There doesn’t seem to be a middle ground for me. I’ve got another game where my opponent’s aa has hit on like 5/8 shots . . .  :roll:

[Karl7]

Oh, it’s Russia’s turn.  I will edit out the trn.

BOMBERS DIE !!!

[Karl7]

you know what, never mind.  With your perfect bomber runs, you’ve won the game.

I resign.  I’ll post.

[seth4god]

GG!

[Karl7]

You played well, but the dice killed me.  No way Russia can hold with perfect bombing runs.

[Karl7]

Oh man, I went to the front of the game, and see Germany had a perfect opening too… this game was over from the beginning.

OUCH!  :-P

[seth4god]

Yeah, I had a pretty good start in both the Pacific and European side of things. Barring bad dice or some mistake on my part, I can usually take Moscow by round 7 or so. The only thing that’s been able to stop/slow that down is massive allied air reinforcements. But then the allies are weak(er) elsewhere (Pacific & Africa) and I just sit back and play the economic game whilst strangling USSR’s economy into the teens. Basically, I’m trying to win the game or get to a equal economic footing with the allies before the US juggernaut starts to tell on my axis.

The great SBR dice and luck I had just made things all that much more worse for you. Germany was just able to steamroll its way into Russia and I don’t know if there’s anything anyone else could’ve done against that kind of SBR luck.

[Karl7]

Yeah, I really like that SBR strategy… you took it to a new level though.  I will have to use that in the future…
