11L '41 DM(+12) v Gamerman01(x) no tech - Game #2

[gamerman01]

I’m getting freaking PUNKED by your defensive dice against Germany!!  I remember losing a critical battle in Finland last turn too!  Tempted to quit, but shouldn’t yet……  Maybe when I fail to take Poland

Now my gut says to quit but my brain says you might run into another disaster or 3.
Poland not taken, 2 infantry lost to 1
Karelia not taken, inf and art take out inf and art supported by cruiser and fighter
Destroyer sunk in 6
Infantry lost in Czech
Infantry lost in Balkans, and Balkans accidentally taken

What a disastrous turn - could have been worse, but not much worse

This is absolutely crazy!  I think the dice gods are basically saying this game will end before the end of the season.
Craziness!

Craziness!

Thinking hard about giving up, especially because it’s in my best interests (I guess) to give up before end of season.  However, for me it’s not all about winning, it’s about having fun.  And I think this game has some fun left in it.  I’m sorry if you’re hoping I give up, but I would think (if you even care) you would prefer a win in 2012 over 2011 anyway…

Now if the Red October would have succeeded and if you sunk my fleet with minimal losses, then probably…  But heck, I still have 5 Jap bombers to wreak havoc with!  Maybe after you shoot down 3 of them to AA…  :-P

Hope you don’t think me a poor sport…  I don’t think I can win, but will continue because I’m having a good time.  If you call for a resignation, I’ll give it to you.  But I’m working on J6 now…
