I appreciate how sneaky you are in setting this up. Your units often look like they are spread out and isolated, but then can all reach the same place. That is, for example, a lot of British units that can reach the Caucasus.

@farmboy I forgot to send 2 inf into Holland so there are only air attacking. I’d like to role in game dice for the inf if that is okay. I’ll do so now.

I’ll retreat the air I have now so I can access the in game dice and then use that for the next round if needed. If you haven’t seen the dice yet I rolled for a tac and fig and missed and your inf missed as well. So still need to roll for two inf and then the next round.

@farmboy so my inf missed and it is round two. I will roll one dice for the tac, then one dice for the fig, than one dice for 2 inf, and then one dice for your inf.

@farmboy A tac hit and your inf missed so I will edit after. Obviously, you can say no to this as it was my error. In which case, I would just retreat the air and leave it at that.

see the comments below re an edit I made. As I noted before, I forgot to send 2 inf along with my air into holland and so used in game dice to fix that.

@gamerman01 thanks! I figured it would be okay but don’t want to assume.

Remember how you smoked me a year ago with axis? I’ve been trying to play axis much more carefully than I often do (keeping to one game and slowing it down a bit). And I think I still lucked out here that the first Bryansk battle went as well as it did.
