three more aa misses… 0-for-forever.  :-P
well played… this is a stomping.

it ain’t the dice so much (aa fire is lucky to hit most times anyway)… i can’t figure out whether i’m really playing that badly, or you’re just that much better than me. i haven’t had a butt-whipping like this in a while. there’ve been a couple of “what-was-i-thinking” moments, but for the most part it’s been a lightning fast assault against europe. i thought the italian straffe attempt on turn 1 was risky, but i’m beginning to think it wouldn’t have mattered. japan is becoming its usual monster self, but germany is going to be dead in about 3 turns… the assault on france was a great move. i really didn’t see that coming. you got some good dice, but they weren’t just absurd… it was a good aggressive move that wiped out half the luftwaffe… i couldn’t really afford that.

of course, if the dice had been kinder i don’t think the delimma would be as grave right now, but i’d have had to have spectacular dice to be winning this game, and that just usually doesn’t happen very much - to anyone, not just me.

let me see what the gerries can do…

dice-wise, overall, i’m ahead by about +5 to average, but most of your bad dice came on G1 and J1… you’re slightly above average since then. where it’s costing me is 0-for-15 on aa fire. that’s not terribly unexpected, but it hurts nonetheless.
