True, though it would be handy to have the edge of letting you not have a reroll for awhile  :lol:

UK can’t afford to either let a fighter die or to let Japan hold Burma (so long as possible anyways).

I may need to think about the Soviets for awhile … clearly Moscow isn’t going to hold.

I must have been doing my maths wrong earlier  :lol:

Next time I may up the bid higher on you!  :-P

The Soviets will run (not getting a good enough exchange on standing ground), I need to consider which direction is all.

Vologda is an option, but I don’t think it’s a good idea.

Mostly I meant Soviet air and mobile. Plus those six infantry who were too slow making it home.

Yes … next time I see such a hard rush I will plan ahead for Russia’s escape. Possibly buy more mechs.
