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

Well you owe me a lot more than half an infantry, don’t you  :wink:

Wasn’t feeling good Sunday night or yesterday.  Felt good Monday, worked all day.  Might slip it in during work today - depends on how things are going

What is an Axis payment moral

And as I’ve always said, you can’t just compare the results to average.  The fact that you avoided bad dice is huge.  But I am not complaining.  Just responding to your half an infantry comment  :-D

Losing 2 infantry in Hunnan and 1 in Yunnan is definitely above average for me.  I will probably be trying to hit both, which could end up benefiting you if one or both fails.  But if they both work, then the double hit in Hunnan could be big. I’d better move before you over-analyze G1 and J1 any more  :-)

Took a minute to register that the Italians are down to one aircraft.  I’m not used to that.  Figured you wouldn’t scramble, so I cheated one plane away.  Dice were my friend - big time.

So I don’t need a 4th fighter in London…… moved it back to Scotland

Very dramatic Allied response…. I almost forgot I did lose a sub in 96… good thing
Big time decisions to make in round 2…
