Looks like you got the average . Hmm maybe you win in four rounds

I’ll give it my best shot…even if I don’t make it to Cairo, I had a lot of fun this game.

Japan had some good dice earlier in China in this game and other areas which slowed you down. I was disappointed about Japan’s attack on Philippines in Round 8?..would have been nice for me to hold it long enough to make the US buy transports or require Anzac to get it back. I think at that moment the allies didn’t have many loaded transports around.

You and Arthur Bomber Harris are the two best I’ve played against. That first live game against you opened my eyes to a completely different Allies playing strategy.

Ichabod

The battle calc was 99%, yep you were right. I thought you were going to send up a few more fighters.

In either event, there was a chance that battle could have really swung in your favor. Both of our second rolls were not very good; especially mine because I mostly only lost my 1s and a small handful of artillery. But, at that moment, Russia could have rolled strong again which would have swung it where Germany may have won with just a few tanks or take plane hits.
