Internet provider had problems all afternoon and evening and I’m just now back.  I see you have more fantastic luck, although it’s a huge hit by the Russians.  I hate convoy rolls, as you know, because it used to be automatic and set

Well, I already know my ANZAC/France move because I have to pretty much every turn just to do America, so here it comes

From round 1, I think these are some of the luckiest Germans I have ever seen
At least the convoy damage took
Russia tonight!

[gamerman01]

4/18 after 1/10 - awesome
And your little AA stat is heading back towards normal too with 3 huge misses
What a blessed I10/G11

[JDOW]

Allies AA vs Axis: 6/22. 1/13 vs Germans and 5/9 vs Japan.
Axis AA vs Allies: 1/9
The German turn was great, no question.
From Japan 1/10 I could not buy anything. You had a flawless US turn following so I would have been happy to get more hits by ground units and get my planes back in return :)

[JDOW]

Axis AA vs Allies 1:10 I guess, the Russians dodged one shot early, too.

[gamerman01]

That must be why I’m not tracking AA - I’m glad I don’t have to, if you have it!  Good!

This is the first time you’ve pointed out any of my luck, I think!  For good reason - I could go on and on about WHIFFING in Z97 on G2 and your nearly perfect G1

Well as you know, take it as a compliment, I’m having a hard time so I’m sensitive to every disappointing die roll…. and there’s been lots of disappointment!  But yeah, 4 Jap planes off the map to AA in Burma helps.  The longer a game goes on, the more the luck normalizes… normally…  :lol:

[gamerman01]

So that booming hit from Leningrad was your only AA hit?  Wow.  That one hurt, too

[gamerman01]

Well rolling 5 aces out of 17 in the Ukraine was real nice for you too.  Exactly the number of hits you needed for a one round kill

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

This is the first time you’ve pointed out any of my luck, I think!

I didn’t intend to point out your luck but to just respond to “And your little AA stat is heading back towards normal too with 3 huge misses” ;)

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

Well rolling 5 aces out of 17 in the Ukraine was real nice for you too.  Exactly the number of hits you needed for a one round kill

That’s the bonus you get when you state even before the game how much your Axis headquarters hates the Russians.
It’s not about winning, it’s about hitting and hurting your beloved Russians  :-P

[gamerman01]

OK, well I am here to make good on my prediction to move tonight

Yes, I’m wondering anew whether my Russians will survive the game
