G40.2 Fortress (Axis) vs. Eqqman (Allies) no bid, no tech

His people aren’t going to like that… If he keeps that up, he’s gonna find himself stuck on a tiny island when this is all over…

CKS, not FDR - in case there was any confusion. FDR is leaving feet first regardless of outcome, I would imagine.  :lol:

It’s weird that I didn’t get any of those die rolls. I’m not worried because it’s just a friendly game. Maybe it was run in local mode instead of PBEM? If it was a league game, you’d want to make sure that got rerun. But zero worries here  :-)

Do “load saved game” and then “start pbem” which is right below “start local”. That should take care of the problem.  :-)

I think, like you, I like to see how the dice come out. I would imagine infantry, but I’m not looking at the map or the combat, so I guess we’ll see.

If I know anything about my luck in large scale battles, I’m guessing that I’m going to cause less than the 11 casualties expected in the first round of combat (plus whatever planes get shot down). I might catch dice every now and then when I don’t deserve them, but pretty straightforward battles never end up being that way – if it’s in the 70-80% range, I’m going to take a bath on it, I almost guarantee…

Knock out 2AA’s and the rest infantry, please.
