[MrRoboto]

wow, it’s looking grim for me. Some very strong moves you made there.

[MrRoboto]

gonna attack your baltic sea transports with 3 fighters from usa. scramble?

[MrRoboto]

you know what? On second thought, I will concede this game.

I cannot reinforce the European east coast, since you will kill transports at Gibraltar. I could, of course, get Norway, but my chances of capturing and holding Novgorod are super slim. Egypt is doomed if I don’t have some serious crazy luck. And somehow I was not able to contain Japan enough for India to play a significant role.
