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?

Ok sorry to interrupt  :-)

Interesting game you guys have going, good luck to you both.

[General_D.Fox]

There you go LL. The dice turned back in your favour and you scored three 1s. Your whining and griping must have caused the dice to get embarrassed at all this favourtism they have shown me.  :roll:

@Boldfresh:

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

Not a problem for this round TDJ, but Bold’s got a point here.  If there were several battles with AA guns firing and they were all rolled at the start of the Combat phase rather than separately for each battle, it would be an unfair advantage to know how many planes you got shot down before resolving the battles one by one.  Here there were only two battles, one of which was the battle with AA fire and the other which was against only one infantry and involving no AA.

But in general, I believe the AA is fired and the battle for that territory immediately follows.

Thanks Bold, I’m trying to get back into this one!  I think that last German and Soviet round helped but there is still a long way to climb.

Cheers
