12L - '41 - Bold (allies +3) vs. Botider, -tech, +NO

[boldfresh]

the dice are hating on me something FIERCE and at the same time i’m making mistakes (mistakes are no doubt related to the dice crushing me).  that’s how it so often goes for me.  i think the first chink in the armor came with JWW defended in back to back battles at 0.1% and 6% for a combined two battles of upper 0.06% odds in BIG BATTLES.  my head is still spinning, yet it is a game i should still win, but i think it put me on tilt and now i’m missing big things like leaving the UK open to 1 infantry.  :mrgreen:

i fear you may be right. you had a pretty healthy lead until that faux pas… but at least the germans are pretty healthy and can make a fight of it. i don’t know about the japs - they’ve got their hands full right now.
