@FlyingBadger said in L24 OOB Gamerman01 (Axis) vs FlyingBadger (Allies+51) #1:

It’s fine, the convoy disruption on the Italians went okay anyway. Just happy I understand that rule better. I think that’s the third one I’ve learned from playing you in this game, as well trying to learn from your play.

Great! Thanks for telling me. I’m glad you’ve liked it

I’ll actually ask for a casualty choice here given the makeup of the forces, especially because you’re online…

9 hits is average, what do you choose?

About average in 92, but extreme luck for Allies in Iraq!

Unbelievable. I barely took Iraq and Persia, all mech and tons of tanks lost, literally.

There is a lot of responsibility on the Russians now!

But I think the back is still broken…

30 second post move review revealed naked bomber on West Germany is not good

Was it the South France carrier trick that did it?
Disappointing way to lose a big navy

I had to decide whether to build the 3rd carrier just to catch one plane, but I didn’t like 95% odds. I can be glad 92 didn’t blow up on me the way Persia and Iraq did.
Remember UK1? It seems the UK has my number this game
