Good to know. Must’ve been crazy to manage all that equipment, depending on how many units were there. Nice story about how you chose your branch.
Anyways, you can go now on your turn (and in case you missed it, I’ll ask it again). Was the attack on Greece by Britain a good idea? Thank you!

The whole story about selecting my branch and all that is in my other book. It’s not as raw or gripping as my first book, the account from Sapper school but it’s got some interesting stories about training up to be an officer. Anyway, heres the link if you’re interested:
https://www.amazon.com/Cadet-Experience-Ryan-Andrew-Voznick/dp/B08DVD64QQ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=24U92ZQ0TB7S9&keywords=cadet!+ryan+voznick&qid=1696301052&sprefix=cadet+ryan+voznick%2Caps%2C130&sr=8-1As regards Greece, I’m still developing my opinion on Greece in this position (who should take it and when after Constantinople falls). I’m not sure. No matter what though, it appears to be a “no man’s land”.
-
Cool! I’ll check out the book sometime.
Yeah, Greece is a tough one.
I will say I didn’t anticipate you moving the entire Bulgaria stack, but it makes sense considering that I wouldn’t have been able to move in force into that territory.

London and Paris have fallen and there is no chance of being able to recapture Paris (or London for that matter).
By the letter of the rules, this game is over. Good game and well done. This game was very, very close. There were times where I was pretty sure I was finished. I only kept it going based off the potential I saw in the Italy part of the board and things just (barely) worked out for the CP in my assessment.
Good Game my friend!
-
Really (that I almost beat me)? Awesome! Yeah it definitely felt close for a while.
Good game.

Oops, that I almost beat you, not me.
I’ve actually beaten myself many, many times.

Shortest? Being the CP, the shortest has probably been around 10-12 turns.

Impressive. It wasn’t against me, was it?
