interesting how this game works sometimes. you know how sometimes there are guys (or gals) you play and you always seem to get pretty decent dice, and they don’t. and then there are some people who just own you with their dice. perhaps i am slightly delusioned, but it sure seems that way. i suspect it also has something to do with confidence, which affects how cautiously or aggressively you play. but there have been guys i have played that are waaaaaaaaaaay better than me, and i kill 'em every time with dice. and then there are 3 or 4 guys that it’s just a waste of time to play – i get drilled every time, and it seems like the dice just haunt me.
i thought i had a pretty good start in this one… i am guessing the straffing attempt by italy on I1 was not such a great idea, and i am paying dearly for it. but after that first turn, the dice are turning, and the last couple of turns i am getting nothing. of course, some of it has to do with your play,… but i just think it seems to me to be an interesting phenomena…
anyway…
the italians continue their lame-ness … boy, turn 1 seems soooooo long ago. the worm has turned. your dice aren’t too much better (except in sz16!), but mine are sinking fast. “throttled” is the term that comes to mind… :lol:
use this… i didn’t split the retreating ftrs from pol between ger and fra on the previous map as per the non-combat moves posted.
certainly fair… nobody got jobbed.
and it would appear at this point - with the lead i have - that discretion is the better part of valor. as it is, i can stand a battle of attrition longer than you can. i think… :wink:

yeah, that’s a good roll for you. i was hoping for average, so it’s pretty close. i was only joking about the “pathetic” … i, of course, was hoping for some really hot dice, but at least you hit average, so not too much to complain about. now let me examine my options.
i’m about to hit the hay for the night. you can name casualties and roll your defenders if you want – just don’t roll too good. :wink:
or i’ll pick it up tomorrow some time…
later… 8-)

man oh man OBG, you got the kick A$$ RAF. if only i could get them once in a while. mine usually go out with a whimper.
as do mine, as you can see. a 57% chance, and he loses 1 unit. i will admit, in this game you were due. but due for average dice, not that 5% result. the italians have been awful this game… first the egypt disaster, then this. oh well, at least the italian turns won’t take long. :roll:
