Another very unsuccessful dice turn for UK. You just hit me EVERYWHERE, especially when I air strike.
In return, perceived my defense rolls sucked during the entire game.

I know, not your fault and nothing you can do about it. The last two turns just felt horrible.

Mhh, annoying mistake in 110. The 2 Frenchmen and 2 AA are of course on a US TT each. However, it shows that one AA is on a UK TT.

The problem is: I cannot fix this, because of a funny “error”. When I want to select the TT with the lonely AA the list is so long that it exceeds the height of my notebook display. As a consequence the OK button is below the fold and not clickable to me.

Can you fix it? Otherwise I can fix it next turn when UK is acting again.

@-Pete:

I’d rather feel like you were frustrated going up against good play than bad dice  :|

Frankly, I guess I am going up against both. You play has significantly improved since our last game. You are certainly underrated because of your 0:10 start. I am convinced that with a clean slate next season you will end up Tier 1 for sure and I would not be surprised if Tier E.

I’d rather take some hits. Feels like your Japanese are almost immune to hit. My hit ratio @2 feels like below 20%. I am getting used to it and I already calculate 505 Axis defense hit ration in:D
