Combat Move - Russians

[Vold]

VC’s - 1 round left.  It’s all up to the dice now  :-o

When you come for Egypt, take the GER bombers first and the Italian bomber dead last.

[MrRoboto]

OMG this can’t be real. +32 in TRJ, instead of -5 on average?

This must be a joke!

You already took Egypt with something like +40 instead of +20 in the first place.

This is very frustrating now =(

[MrRoboto]

Nothing with Russia

[MrRoboto]

Sorry, I didn’t want to come along as a douchebag. Please understand my frustration. In two other games, there were very crucial battles, both in the Middle East as well, and I lost both despite being in favor. In my game against soul, just a couple hours earlier, I had -40 instead of +80 TUV !!!

[MrRoboto]

Ok, that 50% battle went way better, than I hoped…. This time I had the big luck, in your second combat round.

I feel very relieved now, although I can understand if you’re unhappy now.

Still wanna continue the game?

[Vold]

Gratz on egypt - not as I was hoping but I did the best I could there.

Let’s see how it looks after the next round, not ready to throw in the towel quite yet.

[Vold]

Nevermind.  I can only hold off the inevitable.

Great game, I’ll post.
