Ok. That was ridiculous in the opposite way. This was a 96% battle, but now I’m asking for OOL.

I had you on max defend for 1st round.

@BombsAway OBTW, I skipped the Russians. After this is resolved, you can move the 4 Russian inf before the US move.

@BombsAway Wow. I want to post those 2 rounds on the worst dice forum.

The Germans “won”: but I was expecting a 70+ TUV win, got +30…sure boo hoo, but now I have a problem in the North that I was expecting to have plenty of guys to dominate.

And then there is the Japanese fiasco. 99% winner +57: Reality -78!! And I had to turn tail and didn’t even wipe out your fleet.

Expected gain +127
Actual result -48
Net change -175 !!

I’m still in a good position, but it’s not a walk over anymore.
