I placed an infantry at a location I shouldn’t be able to. Minor mistake. Also my dice with the Chinese weren’t that great. I rolled 3-4 hits below average.

[Shin-Ji]

I just wanted to say for the record that I called this, way back in the House Rules thread. :)

[Shin-Ji]

Though I was thinking the Spain attack would happen a few rounds later…

Bad luck with the Chinese - sorry about that!  Though I did have you pegged at a less than 10% chance of winning that fight.

It was never about winning. I just wanted to take as many Japanese to the grave as possible. So I am disappointed  :-)

I don’t know what you’re referring to.  What did you foresee, that is now obviously true?

The capture of Spain. But that is easy to predict as is the capture of Sweden. I am surprised Turkey wasn’t invaded by the axis as it is a nice route to the middle east and all that oil (all those npcs).

Oh yea.  It doesn’t take a crystal ball or anything.  I’ve seriously considered taking Turkey a few times, but I haven’t felt it was worth having so many units out of place.  Also, for a while there I thought Italy had a shot at Egypt.  Not so much, as it turns out.  Your Africa/ME strategy has been flawless.

Anyway, interceptors in Russia?

[Guest]

I answered before you asked  :-D

[Shin-Ji]

I saw that!

Rolling for which Bomber was hit (currently it was the one headed for the Airfield).  1 means it was the Airfield one, 2-6 means it was one of the Factory ones.

Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (2)

[Guest]

Yay another dead bomber :lol:

[Shin-Ji]

So, took away the first die of damage to the Factory (for a total of 17 damage, added to the 2 existing points gives 19 total).  Yes, that factors in taking 1 off each die.

Damage to the airfield

Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (1)

+1

Buying nothing?  I can’t decide wether to be relieved or worried.  I think I’m gonna go with worried.  Putting my little one to bed - my buying Strat Bombers was her idea, by the way “Kill them with your machines, Daddy!”  “Which ones, sweetie?”  “Your flying machines!”
