Oh I am wondering if I am doomed in this game already.
Certainly anything can happen with the dice, but the odds are looking a bit long.

That’s the game my friend! First time I lost ITA to the Russians! Lousy start, middle and finish. Your american fleet was just enough to keep JPN occupied and EVERY time I buy ITA navy I lose as the axis. Not sure if the extra IPC’s would have held off the russians but it wouldn’t have hurt.
I’ll log your W and update the year to date standings mon - tue.
GG, I expect you to kick some serious arse next year. Don’t let me down! :-D
Good game.
Yeah, I think I finally got playing the Allies down.  I like throwing a lot at Germany, but keeping Japan somewhat honest seems to be big too.
I also like an aggressive Russia when possible.  I had simialer scenerios in my game with you, Gamer, and Zuck with Russia getting in position to threaten and take Blk.
It’s funny I’ve had trouble with buying Ita fleet too. I always miss the troops in Eu.
Yeah, I’m ending this year on a good note.  :-D
I got back into the game this year, tried some things and I think I have a good feel now.  I’m expecting a good run next year as well.  :-D
