L20 #1 trulpen (X) vs JDOW (A+12) BM3

[JDOW]

Btw, what do you mean by “unfortunate”? Did you forget about the option of a US airstrike?

Btw, what do you mean by “unfortunate”? Did you forget about the option of a US airstrike?

I think I was sloppy and thought the consequences would be more severe.

Did you sacrifice another chicken or so? Another magical 1/13 defense in both games combined. 1/18 if you add Italy from game 1.
Although both games are mostly dominated by blunders, it seems to me that the overall dice in both games combined, especially in those countless small skirmishes, clearly prefer the Axis.
Would you agree or am I biased. I know I had my moments against Germany a few times but in the big picture, it seems one-sided.

1/16 with Italy combined.

At least the Reds gained confidence, too and the Japanese seems to be scared of the Russian will to reclaim the Siberian woods.
