Germany's Turn!


I lost out attacking Ukraine last game I played as well. I sent an extra tank this time - didn't help much. I think it's a sign that I'm not meant to attack Ukraine on R1 - maybe just stack the heck out of West Russia.

[Alsch91]

Hm tough dice in Ukraine.
Always smarts when they bite like that.
Wasn't going to do this initially, but I think I'm going to switch gears in light of my fortune in Ukraine.
