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

[JDOW]

cmon. this is one above average. I am happy to reroll all battles from this round to get more shots to kill units in Russia. ;)

Alright, the “all-in” invasion has begun. Axis planned from the beginning to sacrifice Japan to bring 28 air over the line plus fleet and some ground. Let’s see if this can force an Axis victory or if the income edge for the Allies will be able to hold that pressure.

[boldfresh]

Whats your prediction?  :-D

[JDOW]

I prefer to do predictions only in games I am not involved in:-)

Did the bomber get shot down or not?

[JDOW]

the US bomber got shot, the UK bomber didn’t. there weren’t any dice rolled when the software crashed.

I also found the mails. 2 mails with AA in Ukraine, first is 1, second is 6, damage roll 4.
