Another massive fail.

[Soulblighter]

Well there is this old saying: Fortune favours the bold

I am just guessing at this point it is referring to another bold.

with gandalf there could be some hope.  perhaps he could start by lowering the axis defense hit rate by 80%.

[boldfresh]

trading uk bombers at a 2 for 1 rate with italian mechs is not quite what i had in mind for a baby step toward starting to think about starting to maybe hang around a little bit longer.

We can always dress Gamerman up as Gandalf if it makes you feel any better :P.

[boldfresh]

oh by the way the brits are on one usa acc in 91.

[boldfresh]

Wondering if jeffm is gonna make a turn post b4 this one is over  :-)

[Gargantua]

Bar91 and Wittman have hung on until the bitter end.

We have almost 3000 TUV over them, but there’s no quit!

One more turn maybe…

[boldfresh]

Fyi my time to move is running out today.  When axis is this far ahead it seems the time allowed to move should be drastically decreased….  :-P

[boldfresh]

If atlanta axis wants to be sporting they can put a British bomber on Spain and remove the super mech in n italy… Although I would be torn I would not be totally against it.

[boldfresh]

I have a long curse with air strikes and it just refuses to quit.
