15L Playoff Rd2: [4] JDOW (Axis) vs. [8] Gamerman01 (Allies +25)

[gamerman01]

Briefly reviewing turn after posting UK, I made 2 USA edits in the Pacific that were not related to UK dice

[gamerman01]

Assumed no intercept at Rome
If you want to intercept, go ahead and roll it - take a fighter off Greece if you hit me

Ha, rich Italy again:D After the crazy overkill now another underkill in 97. The dice even out, the overall results don’t^^ However I guess Allied convoy damage in the Pacific was over average so far.

[gamerman01]

I want the automatic convoy damage from before
I sailed a submarine away because they don’t do much good anyway!!

[gamerman01]

<sigh>once again, the best remedy for me is to play on

MAYBE the Germans will take a bunch of hits again</sigh>

[gamerman01]

Well, I’ll just have to do a little extra bombing then  :evil:

[gamerman01]

Even Germany would collect income from Yugoslavia with that roll

[JDOW]

@Gamerman01:

Well, I’ll just have to do a little extra bombing then  :evil:

Axis finally gave the AA in the facilities some extra training. The terror Allies bombers bring to undefended facilities run by civilians will stop soon  :|

I strongly considered sending only 2.  95% wasn’t high enough.  It would be nice to have more units there for future landings of planes possibly
