XDAP-01 DbD (AXIS) vs. BiA

So I guess it was a tan wind, and then some rain that killed them.

[quote author=AmorphousCube link=topic=27318.msg969068#msg969068 date=1338836110]
Taranto Killed one half, and the FRENCH NAVY killed the other half. (Remember that page about how low the odds were and rumors of rule #7 being invoked? That was why.)

Don’t forget the 2 German fighters they took down with them!

I’m getting an error posting my US summary. I’ll post an attachment for the file, and do the rest of the allies turns (who will have summaries)

I hope that doesn’t cause any problems. (The dice emails were still sent, in case your worried about that)

Man, this game could go either way!

It’s going to be a long one.

Glad the fracking Italians finally caught a break!

I think the Italian army did it’s best to get revenge against the British!

It is humbling to think that even after the french incident, it could easily go either way still.

WOW Well, Fcuk me sideways!

Forgot that factories have their OWN anti-air defenses… Which means we have a new contestant on…

Top 10 Axis and Allies moves you wish you could have back!

Today’s contestant: A strategic bombing run on an Egyptian factory with not one but BOTH of Germany’s bombers.

Well John, not only does it put his main airforce firepower out of possition but it also jepordises his ability to blockade the British fleet.
Noble intentions though he’s trying to help Italy, lets see how it turns out:

OUCH! one bomber down, he’s going to regret that move. How did the other bomber fair?

OOOhh. Just 1 IPC worth of damage there on that factory. Which means the British score a major hit on a bomber and all for only 1 IPC. I bet his face is a little red now!
That’s right John, I would hate to have to read the PMs after this one.

Hahaha, dumb sucker probabaly forgot about the build-in AA guns new to the 1940 Edition.

Let’s see how it did on the big board:

Oooh comming in at number 3! Just behind, “I lost Tokyo to an American Transport off Alaska” and still Number 1: “Got can-openered through Denmark to loose Berlin.”

Dumb move, but just not dumb enough for top spot.

See you next time on:

Top 10 Axis and Allies moves you wish you could have back!

that was pretty funny…. :-D
