just lost a game to karl because i carelessly overlooked gibraltar.  attacked it with the
italians but he hit and i didn’t take the territory.  then on the german turn, i moved
too fast and totally forgot about needing to WALK in to gibraltar with a single german
infantry.

so then karl basically walked into rome with the USA.

them are the breaks!  gibraltar and the proper handling of that area is a huge part of
this game, bottom line.

@Jeff28:

Slammed with 2 big projects at work. Will probably be afk until this weekend.

Thanks,
–Jeff

take your time i am in no rush.

ok let’s see how the big battle rolls out…

and that, my dear boy, is why you should never quit before a big battle is rolled.   actually both gibraltar AND z91 went terribly for the axis so you should easily win it from here.  curse of the clever strikes me again…  :lol:

if that battle hadn’t skewed so badly for the allies, i would have had an
impenetrable fleet in z91.

hold on need to edit the landing spot of the japanese, 3 ftrs are to land in gib.

that’s why the dice have to be rolled.  8-)

oh and i made a mistake anyway, i thought you had 1 ftr and 2 tacs in french west africa - i missed the little white 7 by the american ftr.  :lol:

you will have this one in the end jeff, don’t worry.

if the calculator is right, i was supposed to come out of that
battle with about 24 units and i came out with 12.  soooo typical
for me… :lol:

@Boldfresh:

that’s why the dice have to be rolled.   8-)

ps the edited noncom is here.

hold on, gotta edit that.  again!  geez
