I got 5 hits back… let me know what unit you want left over. I kept my DD, so I would think you’d want to keep your bomber. and also, let me know whether to continue or retreat.

if you end up retreating, then I’d lose my other fig, sadly, but at least I’d get to keep my remaining boats, especially my BBs :)

u can not alter ur casualties
if u choosen dd then dd it is

I didn’t alter anything. I think you misunderstood me. Anyway, plz look at map and continue with the battle as you see fit. If you’re not at home and still unable, then tell me your 5 remaining casualties and I’ll continue OT for you.

Yes you can kill my fig

Ok good game then!

can u give me some tips on my play

my good and weak sides?

yah I think you were definitely counting on luck way too much, I mean basically gambling a lot, and so that all went against you quite a bit, even though some of them did not go as badly as the average was indicating.

as for your strategy, I think you overcommitted with Russia and left the eastern front against the germans really weak. in fact earlier in the game, I really could have taken Moscow if I wanted to. it was that weak. and in the end, all that Russian commitment in Asia didn’t amount to much against Japan.

otherwise, I can see that you are a strong player and if you relied less on luck, you would do much better in my opinion, with more consistent results
