[boldfresh]

i guess jehol is where i’m gonna catch my big break - 72% attack, right in that sweet spot!  :lol:

[boldfresh]

course i was hoping part of that break would include a bomber or two downed by rambo in chahar.  guess he was not feeling well today.

[boldfresh]

the fact that my infantry defense hit rate has been hovering in the single digits has not helped me much.

[boldfresh]

i’d still be losing but boy it would sure be nice to catch some hits on defense one of these days…  :lol:  i feel a lot like hobo right now.

[boldfresh]

granted i did better than expected on attack of egypt but cmon i need REAL help.  :lol:

[boldfresh]
