[boldfresh]

@Rasmustb:

Is this thing like a 50 50?

[Rasmustb]

Not at all but it’s potential game winning move… Snatching Hawaii and securing a pacific win  :-P

[boldfresh]

i mean what are the chances of success of these hawaii battles?

[boldfresh]

i downloaded the map - i have the picture.  hobo loses a low luck game==== what?  you must be a true force to be reckoned with Ras.

[boldfresh]

hobo could have blocked with his acc - guess you caught him nappin.

[boldfresh]

@Boldfresh:

hobo could have blocked with his acc - guess you caught him nappin.

or better yet landed his airforce in hawaii.

[boldfresh]

this was trending quickly toward an axis win anyway.  there is zero chance of losing this battle in low luck whether he scrambles or not.  game over - nice move.

[hobo]

no scramble

was it 6 cities for pacific?  I must have missed a city somewhere because I was thinking anzac also had to fall.

[boldfresh]

yeah 6 cities in pacific, 8 on the europe map
