15L Playoff Rd2: [4] JDOW (Axis) vs. [8] Gamerman01 (Allies +25)

Good grief
And right on the heels of rather disappointing Russia dice
Tough sledding
You lost one man?  Brother

About a week until I’m past the stress of this deadline….  Then I should start having some days at home and can play more regular… it’s this way every Feb/March for me

I got the British turn I needed again.  Might just mean my misery is prolonged

Which is really fantastic for the Axis of course!!

Yeah, I need that trend to change on one of your turns  :-D

More great German luck.  I get one more hit.  Well, I guess I’ll have to think about something else, like my great UK turns.  At least you didn’t airstrike my fleet for a third straight time with 0 or 1 plane down  :roll:  :x
