[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

Yeah, well they were both sweet deals for you - you’d better appreciate those planes

I do!

[gamerman01]

Need some time, quiet, and energy to move Russia…. still frenzying to beat annual deadline

[JDOW]

Ok, thanks for the update!

[gamerman01]

Let’s see if I can get to it this weekend (tonight, tomorrow or Sunday) - one or two more hectic weeks to go with work…

[gamerman01]

Dang!  It would have been HUGE if you’d lost 2 planes over 98
And now I lose an 80%er at Belarus…… ouch

Good grief
And right on the heels of rather disappointing Russia dice
Tough sledding
You lost one man?  Brother

[JDOW]

Yeah, the chinese/british resistance was - fortunately for my axis - very weak. No breaks so far for the Allies in this turn again.

[gamerman01]

About a week until I’m past the stress of this deadline….  Then I should start having some days at home and can play more regular… it’s this way every Feb/March for me

[JDOW]

Alright!

True, the attackers dice are outstanding in almost every turn.
