@nerquen:

Italy is becoming a monster, more income than either Russia or UK… and they bite your Russian bear a lot (9 IPC stolen from Russia)

Out of control
9 if I take back the Caucasus, if you count 2 taken away by NO
You’d better stay on your toes

[gamerman01]

If Axis aren’t feeling great after round 5, they’re probably in big trouble  :-D

[gamerman01]

Very interesting buy….
Lot of weasels would have built a complex in Iraq and put 3 fast ground units in Egypt I think

I considered that but did not want to give UK complex in Iraq… eventually I expect your Russians retreating this way…

Germans had a flawless turn :) … the empty Stalingrad looked tempting also, but decided to keep my armor. Hope you like my bomber spam over Europe… now let see what have your Russians to say. …also I hope there are no additional marines hidden somewhere (I found the one in London), was quite tricky to set up the defense of home…

please use the 2nd post, bombers that attacked archangel land in Smolensk, I believe you were not planning yet as the first post is not downloaded either.

hmm Europe actually does not look that bad now… the previous turn it started looking desperate, you had 5 TT’s in the reach of N Europe… I barely managed to protect it, now when you started harassing Italians, pressure on Germany is significantly lower and I can pressure Moscow again

[gamerman01]

Yeah, and the dice suck
I might have been counting on those 2 USA fighters, but then sent them East  :-P
I was counting on a bomber buy and everything.  We’ll see what you can do.  Don’t count on me running away with the Russians though.  Maybe all the luck turns around in one big battle.  Or maybe I just keep losing planes to 4% battles  :roll:

I was glad to see the US fighters flying back… I am curious what you will come up with the Ruskies now

@Gamerman01:

hehe, that is brave, I will see what my options in G7 will be… but looking on my supply lines and your Russian economy… not sure I can count on any better odds in the future…

[gamerman01]

Nice move - you snuck up on me and I got caught defending Ukraine and then neglected the Russians on US turn.  Will come down to dice?  I haven’t looked yet…

well, if you move all into Moscow I will have around 60% I believe, which is  pretty much a coin toss…

[gamerman01]

51%.  I’m going to buy 2 AA guns

@Gamerman01:

nasty :( , and people are complaining about AAs being overpriced, you keep using them pretty strongly against me (starting with 2 planes shot down in Java)

[gamerman01]

That’s right  :-)
I was actually the one who talked Larry down from 6.  He was just going to leave them the same as before, when he made the big rule change.
