thanks! No Dice with UK actually to be done. Done for tonight with that game. Of course a very good round 10 so far for me. The straw to hope for a miracle is not cut through yet. And when the most likely outcome of defeating me comes true, another proof that single dice swings cannot overcome a significant skill gap!

This is btw a reason to be careful about scrambling the French Fighter. It makes the French turns more dull than they are anyway. After 10 rounds one feels really sorry not having this little chappy hopping around anymore:D

:-) I often take the chance of hitting a German plane or two with it, so I don’t miss having it hopping around because I’m not used to having it anyway  :-P

[gamerman01]

Well, with 90% odds I will be taking AA off first of course, so never mind
Unless I get some unthinkably bad roll, I should be able to assume

[gamerman01]

Really crazy dice.  Extremely good for you, and then extremely good for me, but round 1 matters so much more as you know.

Anyway, I need you to choose 10 casualties for round 2.  Don’t know whether to take off artillery or mech

[gamerman01]

Never mind.  Noticed that 9 of them were infantry, so no biggie, I took off artillery and continued.

Lucky for me after round 1 it went very well for me, but losing 5 aircraft was 4 more than the median.  It happens.  Good enough, at least I didn’t lose.

It was hard not to retreat after round 1.

I must have overlooked something significant. I guess I missed a can opener territory, I certainly did not give you 90% on purpose :/
