15L bmnielsen (Axis) vs. Gamerman01 (Allies +16)

[bmnielsen]

Tough one for the Allies, poor dice all around.

[gamerman01]

I’ll just have to make the best of it

[gamerman01]

But 3 fighters for a sub?  That’s terrible.  I overlooked that you could take the first hit to a battleship.  I’d better take Normandy this turn I guess, so at least it doesn’t immediately auto-repair and to deny you a fleet build.  Jeez.

Need scramble orders for sz33. I’ll roll it on the forum if you scramble.

Yes, scramble, and don’t roll like you did on G3

Lose cruisers first

Maybe my luck’s coming back

Need casualty choice for 33, and submerge decision for 92 please, thanks

Fun game - brings back memories of the games I had 20 years ago where we lost units faster than we could produce them.  America has almost nothing left here, nor does Britain

[gamerman01]

Or Australia  :lol:
Yeah, this is an old style game

[gamerman01]

I’ve also killed almost all of the Russians that I possibly could have  :lol:  :lol:

1641 TUV and dropping… This will be a new record low for me or any opponent I’ve had, since I started keeping track about a year ago
