@Me1945:

Coming.

SONOFA….  :x :x

allies steal 3 more with the z97 sub on top of all the other dice.  well, the dice bit us hard in the A$$ there dutch, sorry you have a partner with a LONG dark history of terrible dice.  :lol:

@DutchmanD:

Ridiculous bad dice.  4 hits out of 4 in Iraq…  :x

even worse, was expecting to lose 0-1 ftrs in gib and lost THREE.  :x

incredible british defense numbers.  9 of 20 dice were ones.  i don’t know how it always happens to me.  :lol:

there is one noncombat alteration i need to make i believe, will post very shortly.

originally wasn’t planning to do this, but after that devastation, i am going to.

well if your plan was to put some juicy targets out there and hope the dice kicked me in the nuts, it worked…  :-P

@alexgreat:

wow, 8 complaining posts in a row. You done yet?  :wink:

What does it matter to you, you won already, anyway, according to Bold.

ha, not even dice that good can save you… so what does that say?  :wink:

typical for me - it’s called the curse of being clever.  come up with a plan that should cut deep but the dice heavily reverse the fortunes.  Atlanta axis knows what i’m talking about…  :-P

but yeah, i’m over my frustration.  fortunately we can afford
a fair amount of misfortune given our position.  let’s see what
the russians do.
