@Gamerman01:

Man, that was brutal

pretty clean german turn gamer - wheat’s not gonna go away quietly!   :-o

I was speaking of the 4/5 German hits on Russia’s turn.  But the fickle dice will turn my way again.  Bring on the SBR, Wheat!  No intercepting if you send all 5 bombers.  I’ll check back tonight in case you need other decisions (like sending less than 5)
