Wittmann (Allies) + Rus bmb vs Gargantua (Axis) G40

[Gargantua]

Well your navy fought well.  Definitely put up a hell of a fight! above par!

But it wasn’t enough.

lol… the TUV for both of us is down to the 1400 range!  What a blood bath!

[Witt]

I was born in blood.
Thought it would have been more costly for you. Well done.

The dice made me sweat in SZ 42. Thought your Destroyer was never going to die!

FYI I accidentally clicked “retreat” from battle in Bessarabia.

I thought maybe it didn’t matter and I could just play forward, but looking at these NCM’s, I need that win!

Going to finish rolling it on the forum.

[Gargantua]

I wonder who it could be!

[Gargantua]

I have to say… Sz42 is a very well laid trap.

I don’t know that I’m coming to bite on it… even though it’s + 9 for me and -4 for you, and - your ships!

The cost is too great… both my battleships and my carrier are at risk… in fact the entire remnant of the IJN.

[Witt]

What did you mean trap?
I am not sure I saw that!
Some prick has taken a dislike to my liking Cromwell and conversing with him on our threads.
I hate small people with little minds.

[Gargantua]

It’s your sub in Sz42 that’s the problem, and your build with India. If I park in Sz42, my force can be overwhelmed and destroyed!

Leaving only the INDIANS with a navy in the pacific!  Unacceptable!
