walkin to yakut was missed on my last iteration of the combat move - had it planned all along - you can deny if you feel it necessary.

Now you say the game was on the line when i attacked your fleets in 92 and 54.  but back then your mouthpiece JDOW was insisting i was less than 5% to win.  JDOW has been your mvp - just constantly speaking senseless negativity into my ear.  Pays to have worshipers i guess.  Cow had some too remember?

but still, i was 80% to succeed in my plan and all you could say was i got lucky.  not very cool.

anyway, it was perturbing when you mentioned that me underhitting on the AA this round just equalized the last round….  cmon - where’s the acknowledgment of the elephant in the room - the loss of 5 german aircraft over normandy?  it’s lost on you guys apparently.  :|

those things are simply untrue.  based entirely on your anxiety of being in a close game.

obviously not as close now as it was when the “lucky battles” i got were occurring.  but of course that is because of the even luckier battles that went your way.  so spare me the martyrdom speaches.

let’s just play out the game in peace - now that you are ahead you should be able to handle that.
