[variance]

I took off 3 ANZAC infantry as your casualties in Iraq.  You can swap them for something else if you would have wanted a different OOL.

[variance]

I think at this point your only hope is to suicide your American and British planes into Egypt and hope to clear it (3% chance), then have the Russian tank capture it.  Otherwise it’s game.

[variance]

ANZAC fighter could help too.  If you do that, my OOL will be:

For the USA suicide run:
bomber
infantry
artillery
mechs
tanks
AA

For the UK suicide run:
bomber
infantry
artillery
mechs
tanks
AA

for the ANZAC suicide run:
AA
bomber
infantry
artillery
mechs
tanks

Good Luck!

[Shin-Ji]

And that’s game!  Congratulations - you’ve gotten me back on the horse as it were.  Now, except for my issues with counting to 6/7, I think I’m ready to really play.  Shaken the cobwebs out as it were. :)

Good game, man, good game.  Thanks!

Interested in a rematch?  Same bid, switch sides?

[variance]

Sure.  Switch sides and rack 'em up.  For $9 I will take a sub in z98 and an infantry in Alexandria.

[Shin-Ji]

Works for me.  I’ll set it up tomorrow - these last few days have been pretty busy, and I need to study up on my strategies.

Does anyone do anything besides the Japan and Germany unite to crush Russia thing anymore?  It seems quite popular.

[variance]

On second thought give me a destroyer in z91 and give the extra $1 to UK India.

If you attack z91, sink the cruiser before the destroyer.

[Shin-Ji]

Ok, sure!
