[Witt]

Started very well for me, but finished badly. Would have liked the DD in the Channel. I always land in Gib. Not this time!

[gamerman01]

Indeed - crazy dice….

Do not always assume a hit to the battleship first.  I could have lost my sub first there, then you took 2 hits and didn’t have a sub or a destroyer, and I could have had a 2 hit battleship against your 2 fighters.

I probably would have taken a hit to the battleship and not counted on my submarine hitting, but BE CAREFUL with casualty choices please!!!  I pick 'em smarter than a lot of people!  Part of my secret!  :-)

[gamerman01]

Don’t feel remorse about it - I just want you to be very careful in the future, please!

[gamerman01]

Very solid buy with USA

[gamerman01]

My destroyer in 96 almost never hits, so I’m happy about that

If you would have hit back immediately after I chose your sub in 97, I would have waited and let you choose retroactively… but since you didn’t, I still had a sub, destroyer, cruiser, so you would want your destroyer remaining…

None of the 4 battles were a sure thing, so it was a pretty exciting Italian turn

Took me a while to see what you meant. Excuse my presumption.

You did the attacks you had to do and it paid off. Well done for taking the chance.

At work at the moment.

[gamerman01]

Yes, you’re excused

Actually I don’t think I had to make ANY of those attacks  :-)
Could have just attacked 96 with a sub and bomber and transported my African units back to Europe

But it was a lot more exciting this way
