Back from Celebes

Lose 2 Anzac infantry. If the battle is close next round, lose a bomber next. If I have good UK roles, try to keep the bomber.
welcome back! But given the no show for three monts I am not sure I can continue these two games now because I have taken on other games and I want to focus on those games instead
no problem. We can continue after your other games, or abandon the series if you have lost interest. My apologies for the long gap.
@arthur-bomber-harris we can leave it like this for a while and see what happens

That went better than expected especially after that very poooooor 1st round
I put most of my bid in the European theater and I am getting my ass kicked there worse than a standard no-bid game. Do you think I stand any chance, or should we just call this match and focus on the other one?
I think I should not decide that for you. If you want to surrender or not is up to youā¦
I am of course very lucky. But it is not out of nowhere. I am CONVINCED you should always go for Egypt with italy if you are offered a 25%ish chance. It create so much hassle for the allirs and if you fail on taking it, you have made the North african italy units do something usefull
@oysteilo I knew that attack was possible and likely was a very good option for you. After the first round of getting diced in Africa, I took a risk to get back into the game since I am fighting a superior opponent. I gambled and lost.
I will post.
