PLAYOFF G13L Karl7Axis v Variance Allies

[Karl7]

This game is nuts!  :lol:

[variance]

I had a game against corriganbp one time way back in the alpha days when he was complaining that sealion always works etc., and in that game my London AA guns shot down 9 out of 11 German planes.  You really have to be careful about those AA gun, Karl, especially when the other guy keeps getting good dice.  Sometimes our heavenly Father shines his light upon one man and casts a shadow of darkness upon the other.  This is the way of the Dice.

[Karl7]

Yes, but we shall see.

Strangely Italy is going to have to think for a minute.  Hold on!  :lol:

[variance]

Yes my Italian friend, think hard.  Think REEEAAALLL hard

57% odds.  I dunno Karl.  That’s awful risky, and then you won;t have any luftwaffe left to defend Stalingrad from what’s coming……  But hey, whatever you do, I wish you the best of luck.

[variance]

no scramble BTW

[variance]

Ooops, that’s actually 0% odds because you didn’t sink that destroyer blocking you from loading the transports.

Do you want a re-do on Italy’s turn?
