looks like you’re gonna get this one now.  the hideous round in the pacific last round is just gonna be too much to take.  japan should be on the mat right now, but they are still too strong relative to USA for me to turn the tide.  :|

[boldfresh]

really this whole thing goes back to your initial big attack on spain.  that lone battle won you the game, as you might expect when you come out with 10-12 additional aircraft over expected.  :lol:

heck, i have a 20 percent chance to defend egypt here!  not bad, now i just need a few ones on the AA roll.   :lol:

[boldfresh]

you probably don’t realize this, but if you had gotten just 3 less hits on your attack roll (WELL within the likelihood of the roll) you would have had less than a 50% chance to take egypt.  now you better hope you get a good first round roll.
