Odonis (Axis) vs Boldfresh (Allies +11) G40L No Tech

[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.
