16L G40BM Mr. Green (Allies) vs Koala (Axis)

Scramble sz112?
OOL in Germany? Will the brave American pilots be able to take out the aa guns or are their real target important infantry positions?  :wink:
Seems like the Russian fleet gets to be useful once again, this time with the odds in my favor.  :evil:

Welll that’s the game I suppose. Haden’t I won a early 30% crapshoot it wouldn’t have lasted this long. I suppose it is fitting that my 81% gamble does me in.  :roll:

This time the luck was certainly on my side around berlin! :-)

But I can not quite see how the game is over at this point.

In europe I need two additional victory points and I don’t see germany take moscow anytime soon.

And in the pacific, the fight for australia will be a tough one with the american naval- and anzac land-reinforcements.

But I don’t know if I judge the situation right. We’ll preceed as you wish  :-)

Regards!
