[boldfresh]

that is just WAY beyond ridiculous.

[boldfresh]

as usual, i catch a little break and then give it back X 2.

[boldfresh]

zero hits for 17 punch round 1 in z99.  your response?  three hits with 12 punch.  incredible.

anyway, i clicked through on the battle, i mean to keep a ftr instead of the tac, if you’ll allow it.

geez.

[boldfresh]

no to mention the follow up in syria where there was another miracle defense.  what in the world.

well, i just went from thinking i had this one easily won to thinking i’m in trouble.

[boldfresh]

there were supposed to be 5 aircraft sitting on cyprus with syria wiped out and maybe even a damaged acc in z99.  :? :?

[boldfresh]

bottom line, the axis can actually afford trades when they are that favorable.  sheesh.
