    really is amazing how incredibly your hit rate on attacking subs and destroyers has been in key situations.  here i had 2 twos, 2 threes, and a four and hit twice.  average or below average just aint gonna cut it.

    lol shows you how serious i really was about it - tried to slip the move in during a couple minutes and the sunlight on my screen caused me to forget the 3 inf, art in normandy - lol.  would have won but still losing WAY too much.  the OPPOSITE of egypt.  CRUSHED.  lol nice game.

    4 units is huge for a big fight like that. It scores a hit round 1, you take 1 less hit round 2 possibly, so on and so forth, cannon fodder is nice too.

    Yeah you fail to take london that is GG. You had really good odds for it judging by eyeball. Surprised it did not work out.

    i’m not surprised - i’m the king of making great plans and having the completely dashed by crazy dice.  remember when we did a double attack on your mediterranean fleet in xdap?  you actually survived and stopped our play in spain - game over.  i calced that out at less than 1%.  your back breaking attack on egypt in this game was also a less than 1%er.  1%ers in big battles usually mean the game unless you are playing a complete schmuck.
