2014 League Playoff - Ghostglider (4) vs. Boldfresh (5)

[boldfresh]

my blindness for american bombers is embarrassing  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[boldfresh]

you do know that attacking three bombers with 2 bombers is only a 78% battle.  and on the heels of getting smoked in china.  so annoying.

[boldfresh]

oh i did kill a bomber in nov.  at least that’s a teeny tiny consolation.  :-P :-P

[boldfresh]

well those bombers were the entire story of the game.  two major devastating hits.  oh well - just wish i had the time to be meticulous.

[boldfresh]

so let’s see.  your 6 bombers took out the beginnings of a megafleet in the med, including 4 transports and stalling the axis offensive to egypt/middle east, making the neutral crush worthless.  then, they take out 3 german bombers.  it’s just too much  :roll: :roll:  you capitalized on every error and the dice cooperated each time.  incredible.
