@ArtofWar1947 yeah Ger got awful dice that first round.
I guess if I had the five on Avg instead it could be worth risking an air strike to keep Norway but with the AA gun and those dice defending on 3s…tough call.
naval battles are notorious for zany results… i expect that. it’s the little bitty ones that drive me nuts. makes me wonder how often during the actual war that something really unexpected happened, and ike went, “what the… ? how did that happen?” like in Great Escape:
hilts: “hold on to your shorts, bartlett. you’re 20 feet short.”
bartlett: “what? how’d that…”
hilts: “you’re 20 feet short!”
he rolled 12 6’s in a row with his tunneling tech! it happens…

i’ve got good news for you, you did not collect your 5 NO for italy on I1. i will add it to your account and flag the NO on the board.
