[Talleyrand19]

Screw these dice, your infantry hitting all ones and mine all sixes?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Actually that was exactly as expected from the Battle Calculator.  I had so many planes in that battle and was losing 1’s while you were losing 2’s.

[Talleyrand19]

I can still be bitter towards the dice

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Yeah me too… I seem to have lost so many German planes early in the game due to bad dice.

[Talleyrand19]

That being said, I’m gonna give up here, you’ll out-money me forever…good game…I hardly play as Allies oob with my friends and made some big mistakes, but it’s all a learning experience to get better down the road

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Good game.  Japan was going to make a run for victory, grabbing Hawaii this round and attempt an India invasion the following round.  They got too far out of control with money.  You have to aggressively retake islands to cut down on their money supply or else they will inevitably win.  It is so tough of a balance between the Atlantic and the Pacific.  I usually am too focused on kill-Japan-first and lose it in Europe.  I still rank in the bottom quartile of league players.  Hopefully I will improve.

It was fun and wish you the best of luck on your following games.
