2014 Championship – (4) Ghostglider(+21) v (2) Gamerman01(Axis)

@Boldfresh:

just attack everywhere possible… how hard is that

I have a lot more respect for my opponent than that

Very funny

Ghost wages some serious economic warfare, man
My Germans and Italians are pretty poor, and his Russians are rich

A whole round today!  That’s awesome.  Thanks, man

Is it for the game overall?  I don’t doubt it - it’s been volatile both ways

Russians still having trouble trading territories, huh….  Well, it was a heroic stand in Bryansk at least

Figured it was extremely unlikely the rest of the battles would make any difference to intercept decision, so went ahead and did them while waiting.  Chinese hit 5/7.  Punishing

5/8 I guess
Still ridiculous.  I got a little break last turn with 0/2, but before that, ping ping ping

Time to audit your convoy roll statement while I’m waiting.  I’m not sure how close to average they’ve really been……
I know I still took significantly above average AA hits

But overall in a game this many rounds, the dice are almost always going to be pretty fair

Hehe, I’m glad you considered the possibility of losing 4 fighters  :evil:
