Witt (Allies bid of 6) vs Degrasse (Axis) 1940 Global L2015 Game 2

[Witt]

I had to leave the house, so will do UK when I finish at work.

I did not ask for a Kamikaze, as I think it would have made no difference. I hope that is ok.
I had 5 DD and losing two, should not have affected the outcome. I think I had far too many units, sorry.

[Degrasse]

I concede, the 1 of 22 hits in India was the last gasp effort and the dice just hated me.

[Witt]

I am sorry, I truly agree that the dice contributed. Losing those pesky Bombers in that risky  air attack of mine, really hurt your offensive possibilities. I thought you had me with Japan and thought I would have to make one last ditch effort to stave off the 6 VP victory.
At least we can concentrate on our massive Team Games now. Always good to play with you, Jamie. Thanks for the opportunity.

I see you have taken Spain again. You little square, you! I will take those dirty Turks, if I can. See if I can make them Masters of the Med.
