Casualty choice Greece, thanks

[Me1945]

9 hits, right? Lose AA, sbmb, art, and 6 inf (3 ANZAC/Fre, 2 US, 1UK).

[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?

[Me1945]

Keep UK pls

[gamerman01]

Then you get a scorching make up roll.
I have to decide whether to continue with 3 against 5.  Too dramatic.

[Me1945]

@Gamerman01:

Too dramatic.

That is another reason I like this game.

[gamerman01]

This is one of the parts I don’t like.  I’m not a big time poker player.  I’m more of a chess player.

[gamerman01]

Italian failure looming large.
Nice 3%er in NTE when you needed it, btw  :cry:

[gamerman01]

You have 80% to wipe me in 1 round……  :-P Man, it was looking so good I was already feeling guilty

[gamerman01]

Right call?  Who knows.  Probably won’t matter.

[gamerman01]

You have 2 UK left to tell the tale.

I always assumed you would be into poker.
