I would take you up on your offer, but I’m not sure it’s allowed by league rules and I don’t want to disqualify myself from the game.  Even after all the terrible luck, it seems like I could still have a chance in this one.

[General_D.Fox]

Ah nuts. And here I was starting to like the sound of this “Guns for Butter” trade.  :-D 8-) hehehe

Well, I guess you can stop complaining about the dice now.  :roll:

[LuckyLindy]

not quite yet.  losing 8 fighters in the first 3 rounds was insane.

That’s just in the nick of time to catch so decent dice.  saving your bombers for last didn’t hurt you since they rolled a 6, 5 but with the dice you rolled on the last roll, they could have all missed and that woulda been real nice.

if only I could have rolled the perfect 4-hit second round, it woulda been a giant victory.  but maybe my tanks will put up a spirited defense!!  here’s hoping.

If you roll CAU aa guns you have to fight the CAU battle first no?
