Scramble to 109 to save the Irish?
Good Game so far!
And I thought it was going to be a rout!
That’s the worst dice I’ve ever had as Axis for round 1
That’s a juicy scramble, I’d have a hell of a time saying no LOL. Â Love it when Germany destroys their fleet on their own turn :D
Of course, the Germans would probably be happy with seeing the british lose their air force.
Choices choices… :P
That’s right
97 was a juicy scramble too and I got punished
I’m just so tired of that scampy little mech thinking it can take Eire with impunity.
Well here comes the punishment :evil:
Wow I looked at the dice, definely some bad rolls.
Fortunately your conservative focus on Paris, and overwhelming odds in Yugo stopped those battles from being a disaster. 110 you did great, and 111 is really the only spot you got edged bad.
And yeah, if you’d have scrambled in 97, it would have balanced out you’d be having a field day.
I guess the question is… are the brits feeling lucky?
I call that Mech surviving, or seeing mutual annihilation of landing forces. :P Look out Gamer, a bunch of 5’s and 6’s are coming your way! :S
I noticed your Luftwaffe are staying clear of that French Cruiser. I tried to save that pilot’s life in Rome. :)
:-)
Enjoying all comments from everyone
Right about avoiding the cruiser, cyanight, that’s all up to the Italians. Looking forward to a bonus, even if I only get it once or twice
Wait a second -
I didn’t get a scramble decision yet…
Itching to roll more bad dice
Japan dice were poor too, Garg
i’m what you call “guaranteed bad dice” - remember our XDAP game where we failed a 99% shot at sinking the axis fleet in the med? game over.
No Scramble in SZ 109

The French are kicking my ass in every way imaginable
But I acknowledge better dice now - I’ll take it, even if I did lose another sub and arty :cry:
You think you had it bad?
See this G5 comment from Seth in my last game…
That Frenchie is FINALLY dead and he went out taking another guy with him. The 2 original French dudes in Normandy killed 3 infantry, 3mech, and an aa gun whilst taking 2 territories and defending in 2 other battles. Now that that mess is sorted out, Yugo is next on my list.
Elite French troops in Normandy and Yugoslavia held on to fight for FIVE rounds.
It was an epic dicing. Seems to me you’ve turned it around before the cancer took hold!
