Oh, I’m rushing, because this has been a lot of fun.  Surprised me with your stab at winning on J4, but I think I mustered just enough to stop it…

need scramble orders SZ26

Will be interesting either way  :lol:

[gamerman01]

Scramble them

This is quite the string of events you have going.  Surely it won’t go all the way?

You won London and East Poland
You won a 36% in Z54 easily
Then you survived the Rush’n attack in Korea, which was likely to at least do enough damage to cut down on your transporting.  Now you need to hit an artillery in Queensland and win New South Wales

I have to remind myself that you lost game 2 sheerly on G1 dice….  I guess you deserve this ride.  I just hope it doesn’t make it all the way to the last stop

[gamerman01]

You surprised me by not trying to re-take London on G4

Good players who are desperate are the scariest

No doubt Z26 or New South Wales will crash and burn on you…. right?  :-P  :-)

[wheatbeer]

If not those failing, then America could still recapture Hawaii … but it’s my best, and most fun, possibility for victory

I am getting a luck streak now, but it seems unlikely still.

NSW failed

I should have been required to attack SZ55 (which I could have with the PHI tacts) so that the lone plane attacking Queensland had a valid landing zone, but since I am conceding anyways, that doesn’t matter.

Sorry for another short one … Europe was depleted so badly that Japan couldn’t wait around. SZ54 was fun for me though  :lol: I almost never do against odds attacks with the Axis.

[gamerman01]

Well played, and thanks for the games
It’s my loss I didn’t get to play with you longer, but next season will be here soon.
I figured you had a 10-step process that you had to get through to get the win, and you made it through the first 5.

Anyway, thanks again, especially for the sportsmanship
