@OwenToo:

sneaky, sneaky sub!

The Italian sub will stay on the surface and fight!

Italian sub won.

Rage quit.

[Ichabod]

Wasn’t just that battle that pissed me off. UK losing 2 planes and 1 destroyer in SZ 110 was irritating too. Normally the attacker would have lost just 1 unit 90%~ of the time.

Well, you got me 2 in a row!

I feel your pain. Things may not even out in this game, but eventually rolls will go your way. I have had, in the 2 league games I have lost, terrible terrible rolls of AA against my bombing raids, to the point that it pretty much wiped out my bomber fleet and any hope of victory.

[Ichabod]

I already conceded the game in my post after Russia. I do not want to play this one out. I posted in the discussion thread for game results.
