yet another horrible round for the Axis, again losing more than they took… the chances of that happening in 3 straight rounds for Japan are pretty much tiny to say the least. you killed 5 infantry and a fighter while losing 3 infantry (I say three because the fact that Japan missed 4 straight times with the bomber allowing you to hold SUI results in a gained infantry for China).
Just nuts. Sometimes there’s just no justice in dice.

I hope these dice start evening out and now. Now would be not one single moment too soon.

Trade in all your AAs? :-D Sure, why not?! $12 to Germany, $6 to Italy, $6 to Japan. Works for me! :-P
I would take you up on your offer, but I’m not sure it’s allowed by league rules and I don’t want to disqualify myself from the game. Even after all the terrible luck, it seems like I could still have a chance in this one.
Ah nuts. And here I was starting to like the sound of this “Guns for Butter” trade. :-D 8-) hehehe
