That is BS!  I can’t even counter-attack.
Top 6% of results for you there.  Don’t blame you for taking a shot and going round by round, but that should not have worked out well for you.

[LuckyLindy]

Yeah, I was just planning to just take one roll at it and see if I couldn’t get a hit with some aggressive Chinese - couldn’t even dream it to go that well.

[gamerman01]

Well in less than 2 games, you have really kicked the snot out of my Japs in several different battles

[gamerman01]

So stupid!  It’s like when JWW attacked a fighter in Manchuria with a single infantry and won.  And didn’t lose the infantry.
Oh well.  Nothing I could do about it, all I can do is forget it and move on.  But not before remembering a HIGHLY unlikely loss of a fighter in Manchuria.  Ridiculous.

[gamerman01]

@Gamerman01:

But not before remembering a HIGHLY unlikely loss of a fighter in Manchuria.

A reference to this game, not the JWW game.  I could cite more examples, but just trust me when I say my Japs have often been SNAKE-BIT in early rounds of various games.
