I had no business winning Sz81. Originally I just wanted to strafe it enough that the Brits couldn’t come after the Italian navy before retreating to back up the Italians in Alexandria. When it came down to the fighter vs bb(d) I camethisclose to pulling out. But the allure of killing all those transports kept me in it and am I glad I did.

Losing the fighter would’ve given Gamer a good shot at Alexandria. I need at least the fighter to fly in. Even so, he’s probably going to hurt me since I only have one ground unit there.

Like I said, originally I just wanted to do enough damage that the Italian navy had a good chance at standing you off. But when it came down to it I saw I had a chance to do even more damage than I’d planned on and took it.

I do feel your pain, but I can’t apologize for the crazy dice. I’ve been on the other end a time or two and I’ll be on the other side of it again.
