costly for both sides…as now i will lose two russian carriers!

it’s extremely rare to see a russian carrier, let alone two of them! and yet their existence was ever so fleeting…like a Loch Ness Monster sighting :)

[axis-dominion]

your german fleets are so annoying, i hope you don’t dare to rebuild it!

Well I knew there was the possibility of a Russian carrier buy. Hence I had more planes on carriers then I would otherwise have had. I figured however that you wouldn’t bother as the odds would be you losing precious American air. Seems I was wrong. Tho I got scared. I should have saved 4 carriers, forcing the Americans to stay a turn longer, but the above average American dice scared me.
