G1940 2nd E - Paki(Allies)-vs-Gargantua(Axis) NO tech and NO bid

@Omega1759:

@Gargantua:

All I can say is… EPIC and flawless Italy 3…

Why can’t I ever have it this good on tournament games?

Because your opponent is having the good dice in my game instead?  :-D

If things don’t switch up soon, I’m afraid Paksos will pull the plug!

I hope he realizes he still has a Soviet Union to defend, an India to hold, a China to liberate, and American offensives to roll out on both fronts.

Of course… I’m fairly certain I’ll be able to prevent all of those possibilities, but Paksos isn’t out of dice yet!

:(

How about - if you can the axis winning before turn 10 - you win!

You wanted to -test- and improve your skills with the Allies.  This is your chance! :)

For your words of insolence. I pledge to remove the French from the board by round 6. :)
