Sorry for the double US combats, if you are checking dice emails. Both turned out the same so no need for an edit.
Chinese haven’t hit once yet.
@gamerman01 the dice are slowly trickling in. I got my destroyer and fighter dice first and then your sub a few minutes later and am still waiting for the rest.

We already had the kamikaze funeral for the New Zealander. Now we have to find another suicide mission for him to prevent disgrace.
Little rough going, could have been worse

What are you going to do about these French?
That’s the 3rd German ship they sunk without a loss, and there’s another destroyer down in 92.
I dare you to attack them!
If you don’t, you know they’ll do 3 damage to Norway! :hushed:
@gamerman01 now I have to figure out whether you are trying to convince me to trade German units for French navy or if this is just reverse psychology.
That’s part of my magic
But enough of that -
A good day to you, sir!

I either took the bait or saw through your trick. :)
My doomed block took out 2 Germans, nice.
The French gambit totally depended on the dice. We both have to be happy again
@gamerman01 yeah that was tough. If you had one more hit your counter would have 50/50 odds with my defense. I don’t think you are going to go for it given the game, but that is still symbolically a risk I want to avoid.
I was going to hit and run even with those 2 Germans. Buckle your seatbelt - I’ll review the scenario again, of course in the event I have poor luck, but I like the round 1 numbers
You rolled 9/24 hits on 1’s on the attack of Bryansk. I’m glad they were inconsequential! But maybe I should be scared…
Naaa… all dice rolls are independent
No, I only counted infantry.
STILL, it was 9/43 which is a scorching 20.9% rate
