Let me check that last move. I am not happy that my two Fts were only given one move left. I thought they came from the UK, so had two left.
Obviously, didnot want a Carrier out on our own!
I also forgot to pull off 2 AA and 2’Inf.
Wait if you can, Mark. Thanks.

[Witt]

Do your go, Cred. It was my mistake; I sent 4 fts not 2. the Carrier stay where it is.

[Elrood]

Allies snatched a telegram from Tenno “Elrood” Hirohito to Adolf “Credulous” Hitler, using their infamous Enigma decrypter

"Konnichiwa! How are you old chap? Hope all is fine with dog and family in your little mountain castle in the alps! Good Good. Here all is well, except our troops and fleet are getting massacred by combined allied forces. If allies don’t kill our men, they do that themselves… you know… lost honor and whatnot - haha.
So I don’t know how much longer we can hold them off, so that might be my last letter to you… my wive even got our old ceremonial dagger out and cleans it every day… scares me a lot! IfyouknowwhatImean!

So if you have the time… go kill some yanks and take control over Europe… I would really appreciate it.
Domo Arigatou!
Your friend, Hirohito"

[Private-Panic]

Haha! Very funny Elrood! :-D

[Elrood]

Ha! some payback for Normandy we received in Volgograd!!  :evil:

[Private-Panic]

Well - that was not only incredibly unlucky but also a bloody stupid thing to do!

[Elrood]

It has to be called “bold” at least… If you would have had succeeded then Allies would be celebrating for the next three turns.  :wink:

[Private-Panic]

Yes - it was knowingly “bold” and I calculated the chance of three G hits @ .333 x .333 x .333 = 3.7%. Thought that was safe enough!

Still stupid to use 2 inf instead of an inf + art. But it would not have made any difference with those dice rolls.
