Arrrrrrgggggg

yeah, good dice for me that battle.
However the upside for the Axis is: Almost all other Chinese an UK whiffed + despite that round 1 attack rolls a complete disaster was avoided.
But I can imagine nothing the Japanese are happy about in that round, even if the Allies kind of have to provoke the chance for such battles.

[wheatbeer]

Japan can afford to lose infantry on the mainland, especially the guys simply waiting to be counterattacked anyways.

Japan suffers more when it loses planes and amphibious troops, at least in my opinion and style of play  :|

[JDOW]

Sorry I can’t make the move today, couldn’t stop breaking bad this evening^^. However in general I will still play on a daily base. I hate being slow and I feel the urge to at least give a sign when not making a move at a day :-/

[wheatbeer]

Slow isn’t a problem, especially when it’s the US/China/UK block.

Don’t worry about it.

[JDOW]

I btw meant “couldn’t stop watching “breaking bad”” :)

I fell a bid bad about Ethopia but well…what should I say… Italians.

I guess there is no game where they do NOT disappoint the Axis headquarter by the lack of combat skills I am afraid. This is sure biased and not true but with all games I watched and I played it feels like Italians have a higher tendency to completely whiff^^
And at least I think at this part of the map one hit more or less does not impact the game a lot at the moment.

I second this sentiment - Italians can be a joke more than just once in a while…

And still this comes a bit out of nothing to me^^ What of my actions changed your mind so far? Game still looks deterministic to me since the sea lion decision :)

[wheatbeer]

I wasn’t referring any single move or battle, just the general strategic overview.

[wheatbeer]

I totally lost track of the fact it was my turn in this game! Will do today for sure.
