Thought we super strong, super confident (cocky) Americans would spoil the Yellow themed party. Russia on back foot though.
Enjoying it. Thank you. Have a fun evening. I open tomorrow, so will be busy most of the day.

I was lucky not to lose anything off Japan, but got no hits from 9 rolls in Kazak on R1. Then one hit on R2 and R3. Interesting!
Blimey - J’s in a mess! - darn that s/w glitch on sz51 - I should not have posted until I had sorted it!
Game seems finely balanced but you’ll have something up your sleeve witt!
I’ll do G now.

Did an EDIT to relocate the G transport back to the Med - hope that is OK?
-63 is toouch in this game.
If you had failed to sink me: wS a chance, I think you could not come back. Surviving with 5/10 was a good result for you. I can’t ever challenge for Europe again.
Yes - did the odds beforehand and were better than 75% so gave it a go. The trick was putting the Med fleet in the right previous go.
But then you got 52 with US vs J in sz62. Did you calc the odds on that one?
G now poised on Moscow and US on Tokyo!
I don’t know how go do the odds and am not sure I trisr the figure anyway. (Must be an italian conspiracy theory thing.)
I suppose I forgot the Carriers only have one hit (two in 1940)'and miscalculated. I don’t often do that. Have gifted you a big opportunity now. Incan’t hope to get the 6 IPCS again for France and UK can’t do much on 18 a turn.
Is over, I am sure. Needed that Russian Attack in Kazak to work, but lost 9 units to kill 2, was it? Can’t see map, as have returned from work (for bed).
Use AACalc on the forum to work out the odds on critical plays. Just did it for yoursz62 attack and you had a 90% probability - should have worked that out before wasting all those ipcs trying to rebuild the J navy.
If you’d rather start a new game let me know.
Remember how happy I would be to win my first game!

Morning. I thought you deserved to capture Moscow, so come and get it!
We can start another after the weekend. If you still want to play me that is…
Something tells me that you are suckering me into some trap witt!
Will do J later.
Hope I’ll be playing you face to face on Sunday at BoB.
You’re funny. You see ambushes behind ever bend.
I just don’t like giving up. I realise that fleet loss was a gift. Bit annoyed at myself. Thought it was more 50/50, but understand you had to make it even at worse odds. Needed another Carrier. Would have done better to have backed off and come back when the impetus from the West (Pacific) built up.
