[bmnielsen]

Well, the dice were kind to you there, for what it’s worth…

[boldfresh]

not kind enough.  i had 7% chance of holding moscow and wiping out your entire bomber stack!  that’s what i needed to happen.

[boldfresh]

AA has been my bane all game long.  against dark skies you can’t miss nearly all aa shots.

[boldfresh]

not that AA was the whole story, far from it as i’ve played a fairly mediocre game given my lack of time but still, it’s a pretty strong headwind.

OOL in volgo?

lol watch me roll 50% ones the rest of the game, now that it’s too late.

[bmnielsen]

Yeah, I was on the fence om whether to risk it or not, but the 41 ipc in the coffers was too much to pass up. I would’ve withdrawn before the bomber stack took a hit if it went much worse anyway.

Take the armor and one of the bombers.

yeah that was the idea.  unfortunately didn’t catch the break i needed.

two more hits in round 2 - losses?

[boldfresh]

guess since you lost a bomber round 1 you would lose the other here.  i will proceed.

[bmnielsen]

Yeah was just about to write that
