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

Hitler was busy with private matters over the weekend till today, so he told his troops to hold until he has more time.

Sorry for the delay, I guess G2 is coming tomorrow.

Oh boy, that Hitler is stronger than ever, Germans still on fire. UK fleet entirely whiffed in 97, that sea zone creates crazy dice this game!

I agree that this entirely turned the dice back to after Ger1.
Especially as UK took off 3 aircraft to force the Germans to air strike 97, now in hindsight for nothing.

Lets see what happens on the other site of the map this turn.

Looking at J2 now, hope I can post tonight, however wife is quite impatient at the moment :-/

Events are mirroring this turn. Perfect Germans followed be slightly below Japan.

You took off 4 planes at my airstrike at sze, however Yunnan went very well for me, there was also potential for failure.

looking at NCM now.
