Thought for sure you was going to attack Germany in a last ditch effort hope.

I guess you guys still believe. Germany income is going to get pretty crazy soon, just a matter of time before he pushes back and secures the VC win.

Anyway GG. Guess I will have to wait till the 31st before a ruling takes place. AFK till then.

[boldfresh]

here is the edited map.  dutch forgot to offload the US aa gun to w germany.

[dutchmand]

OK, don’t post on our board until then…. or ever.

cow is a very short sighted player - which is why he will never rise above the level of “middling”.  if he gets really lucky he does great, if he doesn’t he dies easily.  how difficult is that.

unfortunately we were forced to use back to back low luck rerolls.  now you have one and we do not.

on the LL reroll of greater southern german, it is a one round battle in which we got the required 6 hits and you got 2, shooting down 2 ftrs.

we will await mussolini’s response, but that was sure a bad time to have our worst rolls of the game.  just like in the cow game, at the crucial moment our dice went wildly bad.  but this time, there was at least this one time remedy - we are now once again at the mercy of the dice.

[boldfresh]

at least we did have 2 LL rerolls to use at the most crucial moment.  but geez what a wicked bad round of dice.
