What killed the German transport in Sz 98? All your fighters/bombers were occupied during the combat phase. Admittedly, rather many were attacking Trans-Jordan, but you did roll for them…

[MrRoboto]

Yeah well I planned to attack that transport with one of the planes…
I thought you would be okay with the edit, since I would have been. But you can edit the transport back, if you want.

Nah it’s allright, it just looks a bit strange, sending all your planes on Trans-Jordan and then editting the transport out. But the chance of 6 planes all missing 1 infantry is rather small :)

[Balladeer]

Congrats, not taking Moscow is end of game, 1/3rd of that happening, but not trying would make it too hard on me. Considered retreating after round 2, but so few units left that you could kill that from Russia.

I’ll post the result.

[MrRoboto]

Yeah I agree with your assessment.

I also think that you had to try it, since next round moscow would have been heavily fortified.
Nonetheless a great game of you, you had me at the brink of loss.

[Balladeer]

Yea the increase of units for Moscow is too much, no choice but going now.

I’m actually quite happy with this game, we played like 3 months ago and those were easy wins for you. During the game the Asian theatre was a big worry for me, but the Japanese did better than I thought they would after losing the islands they still kept you a little busy, which is seemingly enough to give Ger/Ita time to go deep into Russia… Interesting game, learned some interesting things. Thanks for playing!

[MrRoboto]

Yeah I gave Egypt away too easily in this game. When that happens, I need to go for europe faster, with USA
