16L G40 nerquen (Axis) vs. Gamerman01 (Allies) Balanced mode (-4 allied NOs)

Poor dice for me in Yunnan and Shan both means I can’t even attack them both.  Ouch.  You’re getting good dice in good places so far, although overall dice are pretty fair so I’m not really complaining.  But UK is hurting bad already…. I gotta be glad I got 5 planes in Sze though, that’s a lot better than like 1 or 2

I’m counting on USA and USSR……

Eh, I could probably attack them both if I use 2 infantry on India to go to Shan State…. Not sure what I’ll end up deciding there when the time comes, but man, only 1 hit in Yunnan and Shan combined, that sucks

You can disallow the edit of the marine from Gibraltar to Morocco, but the only combat dice in Europe with UK was way over in Iraq…  I just didn’t bother to calc everything out through the UK turn when doing USA noncom…

Boy has the UK been pathetic, but that could all change….

These dice are stacking up on me… Yunnan and Shan State lack of defense on J2 and now a rather poor showing on the counterattack, complete with a 11% double hit to take down a fighter… after taking 2/3 hits from destroyers on US2… tough sledding, man.  Don’t let up, though, you know!

Thanks, but both battles were risky and Shan went decent, it’s just the combination with no defense on J2 that made it tough  :-)
Alright, let’s see what Australia can do!

@Gamerman01:

Don’t let up, though, you know!

To be clear, I meant this as an encouragement to not feel sorry for me - to keep playing your best!  :-)
