yep, that was epic.  my dice are incredible oh so often.  :lol:

well, new life for you in a game you were on track to be terribly smothered in.  :wink:

i think i took all mech for you - just clicked through.  feel free to change your casualties however you wish.  :lol:

if you can’t win now, then we know something’s up.  :-o

traded 53 units for 25.  and you came out with an extra 6 mech,
5 art, and 9 armor.  should be interesting.

for the record, i think it was a smart move what you did.  however you could never have hoped in your wildest dreams for an outcome that sweet!  :wink:

had it been a tournament game or if i was actually in the runnings for a playoff, i would not have made the attack.  but i’m playing mostly to have fun and try new things and making that attack just plain runs the risk of a major dicing.  on the other hand, the time i ran it in local, i was the one that ended up with about 15 units.  very dicey battle, the type i would normally avoid since the dice typically HATE me.  :lol:

ok if you are so sure of it, let’s start over from R4.

that was a RIDICULOUS dicing anyway.  i mean completely stupid dicing.

or i’m happy to just keep playing from where we are.  still not going to be easy for you.  just play and we’ll see.  :roll:
