@Me1945:

Gamerman,
I think the game will go slow from my side now - very hard Allies’ decisions plus another stage in the playoff. I hope you are ok with giving me more days than I usually take for my turns here .

Sure, don’t worry about it.  Good luck against Ghost - beat him and you get to face me again  :-D

That’s confidence… coming from a very credible source.

Sure thing. I don’t understand why those guys in the lower half even started playing.

Not sure how this was meant, but I’ll take it as a huuuuge compliment!  Thanks!!

[Me1945]

Take it with a smile.  :-)

[gamerman01]

OK, problem with the clickies around Greece.  Units from Yugo went to Rome when I thought they were going to Greece

Didn’t realize until seeing only 3 dice rolled.

Here are the dice for the doomed Italians who smartly went to Rome, but were ordered to Athens.

Rolls: 2@1 1@3; Total Hits: 02@1: (5, 2)1@3: (4)

[gamerman01]

Dang it.

I chose a UK infantry for the lone Allied casualty, that I paid 2 fighters, a tank, 2 mech, and an infantry for.
You may change it to a USA bomber or AA gun or different nationality’s infantry if you want during ANZAC’s turn

Sorry dude. Leaving the core forces in Greece was one of my hard decisions because of the Italian suicide move that would make sense from my view (no very credible source  :-) ) only if Axis is confident of winning in Pacific in 2-3 turns. Let’s see.

No need to be sorry before seeing the G9 dice

Casualty choice Greece, thanks

[gamerman01]

My turn to get lucky again… so far

You have 8 fighters left after round 2… Please let me know what you lose/keep, thanks.  Maybe you will get a blistering roll back, who knows.

[gamerman01]

File

[Me1945]

Keep 6 UK & 2 US

[gamerman01]

Swinging back the other way.  You hit 12, and then I hit 3.

Which fighters are you losing/saving?
