@Gamerman01:

Yes, intercept with 2 fighters

Are you getting greedy again? 2 fighters just like those other times!� :wink:

Holy moly! Prophetic words indeed! I don’t know what to tell you . . . really rough couple of turns for your air forces.

Air Battle in Russia
                Germans attacks with 3 units heading to Russia
                Russians launches 2 interceptors out of Russia
                2 fighters owned by the Russians lost in Russia
                Air Battle is over, the remaining bombers go on to their targets

That’s just flipping insane . …  I’m trying to wrap my head around this. 6 fighters down for the price of an infantry.

I’ve been thinking about whether or not I should press there or not. I’m halfway tempted to just for the sole reason that I feel like I’m riding a lucky streak against you. And I’m also scared for that reason . . . when’s this going to even out. A huge fail there could more than make up for the other breaks I’ve caught so far.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The subpar SBR damage probably helps some, but I’d rather do the subpar damage and claim the 2 fighters vs 0-1 fighters and max damage.

I know the feeling, I’ve had some pretty horrible rounds too. I once had 5/7 US bombers shot down in 1 stinking turn when I went after multiple facilities and factories in Europe. You got some early luck last game that I compounded with some bad play in the Pacific and yeah EPol was not a fun one. I knew you could hit me there, but I was ok with it since I thought I’d do you some more damage.
