Rubi, did you overlook that your bombers were exposed at Greece? And how about 112? Did you see that attack coming and still left the fleet there?

Sorry man. The luck has been really one sided at least in Europe. You still might have a shot at a pacific victory though.

Yep. I guess the Carolines massacre went above the odds for Japan?

But frankly, I believe Japan is too far away from a VC victory. USA has too much time to spend ridiculous amounts of IPCs into the Pacific to prevent victory, while Germany is still going to collapse even with minimal US investment from here :-/

So Rubi, maybe this game even helps you for the upcoming playoff final which you will most likely play :)

Rubi beat the odds slightly in the Caroline islands I think but not by much. I don’t think anything in the pacific stands out as particularly lucky for either side.  In Europe though I had both  that good first round against Germany and since then I’ve just been getting lots of the hits I needed out of the small battles as in the bomber battle that Rubi mentioned above.
