At the end I did a NCM and placement edit. I decided to move an infantry from Karelia to Caucasus and then place 6 infantry in Karelia and 3 in Russia.

OK, sure
I will go with your map which has the infantry remaining in Baltic States even though you typed twice that it was going to East Poland :-)Compelling game - Russia coming soon

Yea, 1 infantry stays there in BST…. Those NON COMS were tough to write up… took like an hour with everybody harassing me. I knew I had screwed somehting up.

We have both been getting such bad results on offense… wow -
Sheesh. Improbable is right! This has been the most defense dominant game I have ever played. Each round I keep thinking that it’s time for the dice to swng back to the attacker, but it doesn’t happen. Weird how it’s been consistant the whole way through. I felt like it would be a short game after G1, then R1 was terrible. Then after the Japs lost 4 guys on Phil killing 1, for the first time ever for me, I felt like resigning. Then what happens? The worst UK1 I have seen, probably ever. Crazy, crazy game.

I completely agree - it is amazing how games sometimes take on personality. It defies what statisticians would say
If it was only happening to one or the other of us, it would be over by now.
Whoever stops attacking first will win :wink: -
