13L G40 League Playoff R2 - BOLD vs. JDOW (allies +11)

[boldfresh]

@Boldfresh:

you have too much material wheat!!!   and i just keep getting
bombers shot down (4 in last 2 turns i think?)… in addition to smothering me in russia.  probably going to need to take some time to decide what desperate strategy I will try to employ here.  any chance you want to make this a full luck game from here on out to spice it up a tad and give me a sporting “chance”?  ie, no LL rerolls?

ha wrong thread - looks like you will be right again JDOWstradomas.

so what is your “prediction” in our game?

[JDOW]

No predictions, just playing:-)
