Man, what is that? I am in a shitty mood. You and Bold are shocking me just every single turn. Not hitting once in this battle was very very very bad.
I might be too soft for this game, but every round contains disaster to me and this pisses me off so much!

And now the Allies have to do less crying and more fighting  :mrgreen:

[wheatbeer]

I know it won’t make a difference now, but I felt pretty much the same in our last match. If you remember, the UK crushed Italy in round 1, Germany underperformed in London, and Japan had tons of lousy battles from turn 2 onwards.

I might have lost that one either way since you were playing well strategically, but I almost never surrender as early as I did in that match (unless Paris holds or Sea Lion fails).

[wheatbeer]

100% pure luck games do drive me crazy sometimes though.

Agree, dice have been rather good for in our last match. Especially in Africa I killed every Italian with almost no losses, Uk and Java helped to make Russia hold the position longer and keep Japan down.

[JDOW]

Alright, that was btw the worst blunder I have done so far in my “career”.
I though 1000 times about the blocker in Baltic and EP but “just” to avoid the Germans can just walk in with no DOW.
Attacking Novo I completely overlooked.

Well…this is unbelievable tbh, big disappointment that happened! :-/

[wheatbeer]

At least the Allies got above average dice in Novgorod. The most likely battle outcome would given Germany control on Novgorod with all German planes surviving.

[JDOW]

True! In return the lonely tank killed 2 ground units:-)

SZ112. Sub missed and my cruiser hit. You obv scrambled 2 fighters. What do you lose?

[JDOW]

I meant 3 Fighters!

[wheatbeer]

Transport crew might get mad, but lose the German cruiser.

[JDOW]

Hehe, but if the cruiser hits, they are safe, so it is just a 50% shot^^

[wheatbeer]

They’ll still know I considered them expendable  :evil:

[JDOW]

Luckily Cruiser missed.
