[gamerman01]

Changed my casualty choice from 97 from a tactical to a destroyer, flying the tactical to Syria

(Triple A made me choose the casualty before seeing the naval defending dice, so I just made a choice knowing I could change it after seeing the rest of the defending dice)

[gamerman01]

@alexgreat:

Oh boy, momentous battles (imho) in Yunnan and 111. Went well for me so far, I fervently hope it does not turn totally against me UK1.

You jinxed yourself…
What an amazing UK1

[lexgreat]

I certainly would have preferred UK rolling very well like Axis and Axis rolling well like UK.

[lexgreat]

Battle in sz 97, all my available units. My sub hits, no DD there, pls chose your casualty.

[gamerman01]

Lose the sub

[lexgreat]

Two more hits, pls allocate.
Do you want to give an OOL for the next round, or wait for your amount of hits in return fire first?

[gamerman01]

It can only disadvantage me to give OOL in advance

Lose cruiser, fighter
