Looks like it comes down to this :-D

I am going to be on all day and would like to take my casualty choices so if you could update each combat round that would be greatly appreciated.

p.s I know the odds are against me but I have a feeling the dice might help me out;)

[gamerman01]

Yes, this is a climax
I see I got caught putting fun above maximum chance of winning  :-D
I will go round by round - you don’t have any bombers though do you?  Will give you maximum defense until the casualty choice is not obvious.  I will be very judicious, don’t worry

I chose right to take off 1 infantry, right?

[boldfresh]

The germans!

[arathorn]

LET IT BE GLORIOUS! LET IT BE RED!!!

[JDOW]

@Boldfresh:

The germans!

they never fail when needed. the battle field will be left soaked with Russian blood.

[boldfresh]

@Steveo:

p.s I know the odds are against me but I have a feeling the dice might help me out;)

Usually I expect the same but Steveo has left this eerily cryptic message…. what could it mean?

[gamerman01]

You must be confident!  You didn’t fly the UK bomber to Moscow and instead picked on the Italians some more!  :-)

[Guest]

Ya hate those damn Italians lol

[gamerman01]

I understand being confident after the heroic defenses of the Russians in Bryansk and Moscow vs. Italians, but you’ve used up your luck!  I hereby revoke your whammy!

Big bucks, big bucks, no whammies, no whammies

Good thing for you I didn’t bring that uk bomber to Moscow lol. Looks like it’s up to Japan for the win now.

[gamerman01]

@Steveo:

Yeah, probably, depending on what you do with USA

I also thought that UK bomber would have made the difference
A second or third hit with the hapless Italians would have made a difference too
You had a punishing defense in Russia for a 3rd consecutive time…  We have an interesting game.  I rarely get to actually take Moscow (although you… wait, you never took a hit on your Russian turn?  this is getting out of hand)

[gamerman01]

Apparently Russian winter is in effect
Now I see 2 of those victories were 2 infantry against 1.  Your dice are making this tough

[gamerman01]

After ridiculous AA fire in India, your luck finally ran out

I assumed no scramble to Z39, but if you would have scrambled, we can roll that out
I guess your tac missed both times in the land battle
But if you would have scrambled, I’ll take your word for it and we can roll a Z39 battle with the tac scrambling

Now for Z42, I only scored 1 hit and you have a sub and destroyer so I need a casualty choice to continue…

[Guest]

I suppose the dice are giving me this one game to get my feet back under me after a lengthy lay off lol.

I will lose the destroyer thanks

[gamerman01]

Thanks!
Finishing J5

[gamerman01]

And… the submarine hits and lives to convoy me for 4 damage
