[gamerman01]

Very kind of you, thank you
You’ve got me off-balance with J3 DOW but not against USA, and Vichy just killed me

[gamerman01]

1 of 3 French fighting units comes up big in the crunch time. The other 2 dance with girls in London

Take us to round 4!

Disgusting!
Didn’t think about your 3 AA being advanced - this will be tricky.

[gamerman01]

Casualty choice for Ukraine please?

R4 combat.tsvg

Because of the AAA I may need casualty choices for the other 2 battles too, but one at a time, of course.
I’ll check back regularly so we can get to J4 soon.

Have a great day - I have to go to bed soon -

[elche]

Max. defense please. Same for the other battles.
Sleep well

[gamerman01]

Thanks! Was up too late since I found out I didn’t have to go in to work due to weather.

Max defense it is then

[gamerman01]

I know you said max defense in advance and I appreciate that, but I think given these unusual dice I should ask you again.

Do you keep artillery or AAA in Belarus?
Thanks -

R4 combat Bel.tsvg

[elche]

If you ask, I hold the AAGun and kill the art.

[gamerman01]

lol smart man
I’d love to sneak it by you since you gave me open checkbook before, but I don’t think that’s good sportsmanship. So I will roll the defense, and then all my ground units have to move in to Bel.

[gamerman01]

5 hits in West Ukraine (terribly lucky, I’m almost sorry)

I will go with what you said before, I think you would want to keep 2 artillery and dare me to go again, rather than keep 1 artillery and 1 AA

[elche]

Thanks for asking. I didnt expect so much hits in R1. I like your move with Russia. Nobody attack like you. I hope I will throw back the red danger.
Yes please, kill the AAgun

[gamerman01]

Wow, that really makes me feel good, thanks!

Luck was with me on R4. Let’s see what the return fire in WUK is and whether I retreat.

[gamerman01]

3/6 back, Germans are NOT giving up

[elche]

Now you have lucky dice and in the beginning I had lucky dice, Vichy, your fighter and your fleet and bombing damage.

[gamerman01]

Zany dice, makes for a fun game but quite stressful and frustrating when it’s against yourself

[gamerman01]

Some of these decisions for us on R4, hard to tell if it makes much difference one way or another. Have to decide whether to keep going in WUK…

[gamerman01]

R4.tsvg

[gamerman01]

It may be an unintentional, subliminal mind game on my part, but now I think it was maybe a poor decision for me to attack Belarus at all. I’m also not sure I should have retreated from WUK :hushed: . Well, who knows, it depends on what you decide to do and what the dice say on G5 :man:
