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!

[Witt]

I did not like running from your Panzer in Africa, but I fear things are coming to a head in the Middle East/Egypt.
You might be the richest ever by turn’s end. Annoying.

[Witt]

@Gargantua:

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

I like the sound of that. Can we give that a try?
Pacific is getting rather bare, navy wise.

[Gargantua]

I look forward to your Russian move.

You cannot be allowed to achieve victory!
