If I’m doing my math right, that gives me a score of 47 on that fight.  I’m probably still doomed, but I’m hoping the worm will turn.

Finally could move to Belarus now that Germany has fewer planes.  That usually means victory for the Allies, but we shall see how things proceed.

[Shin-Ji]

Yea, I’m gonna concede at this point.  There’s just no path to victory now, even assuming dice heavily in my favor.

Nicely done!

Apparently whoever has been playing the Allies has won every time in our matchups so far.  Want to continue our series?

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

I am getting my butt kicked by JDOW playing allies.  Japan is struggling and I can’t contain China while holding onto the Money Islands.  I need to come up with a new idea of winning for the Axis.

Sure, lets start a new game.  I will be gone for a week starting on Friday so we might only get through a few turns before taking a break.

[Shin-Ji]

Full scramble all.  Let’s see how this shakes out.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

4 hits off of Scotland.  Save the BB or the fighter?

[Shin-Ji]

Save the fighter.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

thought so…
4 hits in SZ110.  Lose all of the ships or save the BB?
