  • Very kind of you, thank you
    You’ve got me off-balance with J3 DOW but not against USA, and Vichy just killed me


  • 1 of 3 French fighting units comes up big in the crunch time. The other 2 dance with girls in London

    Take us to round 4!

  • Disgusting!
    Didn’t think about your 3 AA being advanced - this will be tricky.


  • Casualty choice for Ukraine please?

    R4 combat.tsvg

    Because of the AAA I may need casualty choices for the other 2 battles too, but one at a time, of course.
    I’ll check back regularly so we can get to J4 soon.

    Have a great day - I have to go to bed soon -


  • Max. defense please. Same for the other battles.
    Sleep well


  • Thanks! Was up too late since I found out I didn’t have to go in to work due to weather.

    Max defense it is then


  • I know you said max defense in advance and I appreciate that, but I think given these unusual dice I should ask you again.

    Do you keep artillery or AAA in Belarus?
    Thanks -

    R4 combat Bel.tsvg


  • If you ask, I hold the AAGun and kill the art.


  • lol smart man
    I’d love to sneak it by you since you gave me open checkbook before, but I don’t think that’s good sportsmanship. So I will roll the defense, and then all my ground units have to move in to Bel.


  • 5 hits in West Ukraine (terribly lucky, I’m almost sorry)

    I will go with what you said before, I think you would want to keep 2 artillery and dare me to go again, rather than keep 1 artillery and 1 AA


  • Thanks for asking. I didnt expect so much hits in R1. I like your move with Russia. Nobody attack like you. I hope I will throw back the red danger.
    Yes please, kill the AAgun


  • Wow, that really makes me feel good, thanks!

    Luck was with me on R4. Let’s see what the return fire in WUK is and whether I retreat.


  • 3/6 back, Germans are NOT giving up


  • Now you have lucky dice and in the beginning I had lucky dice, Vichy, your fighter and your fleet and bombing damage.


  • Zany dice, makes for a fun game but quite stressful and frustrating when it’s against yourself


  • Some of these decisions for us on R4, hard to tell if it makes much difference one way or another. Have to decide whether to keep going in WUK…

    It may be an unintentional, subliminal mind game on my part, but now I think it was maybe a poor decision for me to attack Belarus at all. I’m also not sure I should have retreated from WUK :hushed: . Well, who knows, it depends on what you decide to do and what the dice say on G5 :man:
