that is just WAY beyond ridiculous.

as usual, i catch a little break and then give it back X 2.

zero hits for 17 punch round 1 in z99.  your response?  three hits with 12 punch.  incredible.

anyway, i clicked through on the battle, i mean to keep a ftr instead of the tac, if you’ll allow it.

geez.

no to mention the follow up in syria where there was another miracle defense.  what in the world.

well, i just went from thinking i had this one easily won to thinking i’m in trouble.

there were supposed to be 5 aircraft sitting on cyprus with syria wiped out and maybe even a damaged acc in z99.  :? :?

bottom line, the axis can actually afford trades when they are that favorable.  sheesh.

ghost, i just realized i mobilized incorrectly - meant to put one of those carriers in the atlantic.  if it would have changed your italy then just leave it as is.

also i’m quite glad you didn’t ask me if i wanted to scramble into z92 - i probably would have had to strongly consider it, knowing i need to get really lucky back after that UK2 sucker punch!

Fighter missed?  Lol awesome.

lol not when i’m rolling the way i am.  ridiculous.
