Now I’m starting to feel guilty

Let’s see now…

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 😂 you should, moderators aren’t supposed to be bribing the dicebot! 😜

[gamerman01]

Any surviving ships are going to be murdered, and I have 2 fighters that’re going to die here too

I have to stay to get the transports

Those dice were so good
I lose 2 subs and 1 destroyer

Round 2, there’s a lot of the kitchen sink left.

I might actually pull off saving a carrier that might take out one extra destroyer :p

Battleship gives a good-bye kiss

Japan loses a fighter I guess, I can’t figure out what’s better, not much difference

SO

Japan gets super lucky, clearing with maximum survivors and a couple to possibly plink one destroyer. Maybe.

China gonna do what USA has so far been unable to
TUVs look wild, but with its lowly 97, China is UNSTOPPABLE

Me 'n the dice put a thumb in one of the 10 holes in the dike. Partly made up for the big blunder

USA with 3 tokens and 72! Back to you!

[gamerman01]

And you will notice…

The Japs control Shan State!!

😆

[gamerman01]

Hey, could have been worse, I didn’t get shipyards or heavy bombers or something there with that one token

[Stucifer]

Game is feeling very lost for me, but I shall persevere! No tech dice buys as USA.

I am not sure if this format is correct but we will try.

Aw, I didn’t see that you moved

I’ve been re-creating the 2014 championship game and learning a lot about how to return to OOB
But it was only a 21 bid

[Stucifer]

Certainly seems like a good way to learn. Who were the competitors? I didn’t start playing global until a little over a year ago, only had Anniversary and that was plenty for me and my one friend I could convince to play ;)
