What do you lose?

art & bmb

[gamerman01]

Very expeditious, thank you
And I’m glad you’re losing the bomber - that was the main thing I needed to achieve here.

[seth4god]

I wish I could keep it, but I’m wary of luck backlash.

[gamerman01]

You must have me worried a bit, because these dice rolls are feeling stressful.

I called it.  Even after a poor first round, I got my rout in the Egyptian area that pretty much made up for the crap I’ve been going through.  Most of it.  Slippery slope.

[gamerman01]

You called it.  Luck backlash is right.  That’s gonna leave a mark.

[gamerman01]

That was for the National Objective!?  Woot!

Theres some ftrs back for gamer

[seth4god]

Dang, yeah I’ll say. Down about 30 more than I should be from that battle. Bleh weak sauce Italians.

[seth4god]

Those were some pretty pathetic fighters, ha. Well, at least the German did some damage against the Brits first. I’ll pretend the German was also the one who got the single fighter hit each round.

[gamerman01]

@seththenewb:

Those were some pretty pathetic fighters, ha. Well, at least the German did some damage against the Brits first. I’ll pretend the German was also the one who got the single fighter hit each round.

It no doubt was the German fighter.  You are right about the Italians.  They’re all tough in the beginning, but when it matters they fail you, hard.

[gamerman01]

What else is incredible, is that the new UK bomber from South Africa was only there to take pictures.  It contributed nothing

[seth4god]

I could get used to allied non entity bombers.  :-D

First the US one against Japan and then the Brit one against Italy/Germany.

Well, at least you don’t have a Brit fleet in the Indian ocean and you didn’t catch any vulnerabilities I might’ve have missed with the Japanese. ie, I didn’t lose half my Japanese fleet as I was half expecting you to somehow defeat it in detail because I missed a 1-2 punch or something obvious. That cruiser/transport was the most at risk and I was hoping that a) you wouldn’t attack it and go after the other defenseless transports or b) the cruiser had enough firepower on it’s lonesome to at least take something with it or survive.

[gamerman01]

You left out the 2 American bombers that only took out 1 destroyer the previous turn  :-P
