@Gamerman01:

So I’m still taking it in the teeth on Russian/German fronts……  great…   :-)

I need everything I can get.   :-). Billy and Zhukov have been kicking my skull in on that same front.   :|

Makes it hard!  Sometimes I call it “the only front that matters”, although I realize that’s an overgeneralization….  Still… often it is.

seems to be true in all the games I’ve played!

I had to be careful with my wording because it seems I might be able to break through on that front and yet still lose…  Only time will tell us for sure what will happen in this game!  I will have to review my first 3 rounds to see how Japan got in such hot water so fast in 1941.  All I remember now is the debacle at Z50 on J1.

yeah you did lose a cruiser in Z50 and 2 fighters I think.  That’s not a good J1 but not terrible.  I just had one against TDJ where I lost 3 fighters but at least I killed everything, as did you.  The real murder is when you lose a bunch and fail to clear Z35, Z53, or Z56!

Been there.  Sent 2 fighters to 35, and 2 fighters to 56.  Lost 3 fighters, clearing 56, and destroying nothing in 35.  The “destroyer of death” came back to bite me in round 2 or 3, downing yet another plane.  Can’t remember which game this was, or the result.  But the only game I lost this year was against JWW in league play……  Failed to destroy anything in Z2, but forget a lot of the other results…  Anyway, yeah I’ve had my share of bad luck in 35 and 56 before.  I still think they’re good attacks - I always do them.

[LuckyLindy]

TDJ is charmed in our game.  My J2 was bad as well, he hit 5/8 on defensive twos (really 5/9 but there was one round when everyone missed but then his infantry hit the next round so really 5/8) and downed another fighter with his Brit destroyer.  Pretty bad UNlucky streak I’m taking right now.  Maybe you better take a little more time before making your next move here  :wink:

[gamerman01]

Hehe, I guess I’d better make a point to go tonight, then.
