L15 - Ghostglider vs. Boldfresh (+15)

bad first round but ended up average…  ghost, truly, i think it’s time you bought a lottery ticket - i’ll chip in and ride that luck.  :-)

@Ghostglider:

Average results and I am Lucky…?

After round 1 I said u were lucky.  Battle as a whole was average.  But you’ve been riding a pretty nice dice wave that I’m a little jealous of I admit.  Probably getting bad luck in other games just not the ones I’m watching.

I usually avoid any talk of dice till game is over cuz they can always change…. but so far this one’s been fairly tipped in axis direction due to the incredible round 1 and 2 defenses against uk attacks.  Lot to play though.

i will rerun in local through the kwangsi battle, then switch back to marti for yun and the convoys.  caught a much needed break in kwangsi

at first i thought your move to send three tanks to ukr was not a good one.  but in the end, you killed 5 inf, art for the cost of only 2 tanks, gained 2 ipc, denied me 2 ipc, and get to produce there.  so a good decision after all!
