[Ichabod]

You’ve played Japan really well this game…I think the game definitely leans Axis. I wish though that after about 10 dice rolled against the German bombers…I’d have gotten a few by now. Such is a dice game.

I think you should have taken the Italian bomber as a hit in E. Poland or sent both tanks instead. I think my Russian stack at Bessarabia is going to escape.

The odds were even better this chance to crush that stack. If you got to crush it on G8, than I think the game would have completely tilted your way. Than Moscow would fall for sure on round 11. Still could.

Don’t worry about the edit - I know the line is different for everyone so I ask, don’t tell, especially there - I posted the end of Italy’s turn and left it up to you for a reason.

BTW, I do walk through my options and then go in to the real game - I still f up and miss moves or I try to wrap up and get distracted for a bit, come back and… oops.

[weddingsinger]

I’m off to work - filming a wedding.  No more moves til tomorrow.

Well, it was just now my turn to f’ it up! I did not even retake Moscow back, LOL!

Let alone Bryansk, and obviously I screwed up in the first place in not realizing the tank blitz to Moscow. I could have easily defended everything.

Was about to start stacking fleets on money islands. I think I finally had enough stuff to defend my transports.

I surrender this game. I think I could have recovered and still had a chance in this game if I did the obvious and recover Moscow back…plus get work my stack from Bessarabia back.
