Boy that’s a great roll for the Axis in 6

@Gamerman01:

Boy that’s a great roll for the Axis in 6

i did not even notice. i just assumed 5 subs would have raided all 8ipc.

i wonder what hank will purchase with that extra 4ipc. maybe he will just keep it as a memento of strength

@Boldfresh:

the dice are smiling quite heavily upon hank right now - must be good clean living.

I think it is all of the positivity that comes off of this thread…

I’m thinking of buying 1 mech. infantry for Tokyo that will ultimately take over the US complex in Korea…

@Boldfresh:

…favorable trades you are getting on all air attacks and our poor results of all air attacks…

what do you consider air attacks?

aaguns?
escort and interceptor?
combat in territories when the attacker only has air units?
combat in seazones when the attacker only has air units?
all of the above?

after work i will do a quick analysis of air attacks

i believe you have gotten better luck especially in air attacks, will be interesting to find out.

Bold’s perception of luck has always been warped  :-)
