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

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.

After a good round 1, I’m surprised you went back for seconds… I didn’t open the file but I count 8 hits. I think I have the infantry left for all 8.

Told you that was going to go better than expected for you LOL!

That is correct.

Sorry, I thought I was waiting on you - I forgot it was Japan’s turn…  :oops:
