Well, the UK results were pretty stupid as well - I hit with nothing out of all those rolls. It does not really matter - I gave up on this game 2 rounds ago - I have determined that I lose interest if the game moves too slowly - you are certainly NOT the problem, it is just my preference. I have lost all focus on this game and you have really won I think.

sorry man, I remember you saying something like this last game too. If you want to give this one up I understand. Just let me know, you don’t need to keep it alive for my benefit. I think I have this as well, it has been a good game, I have certainly enjoyed it.
Nothing to be sorry for. I have learned through this game and a couple of others that in order for me to keep my focus and not screw up (as much), I need a game that generally flows at least a turn a day. As it is, I am probably going to step away from A&A for awhile after I wrap up the games I have - kinda burned out on it - and beginning to wonder if there really is only 1-2 ways to victory for the Axis. I have tried lots of other ‘weird’ stuff, to no avail.
At any rate, lets continue a bit more and see where we go….

yeah, typically I go for the plodding safe, long term, strategies for both axis and allies and I have been thinking, perhaps I should go for the VC rush, that other players use. To me seems a bit extreme, get there fast and furiously or don’t get there at all……
You win - the dice are completely stupid now - its a joke. GG to you and thanks for playing!
