assumed no scramble in 56

Germany’s troops seem to have been picked off a bit at a time. I can’t see a path forward from here. Japan is doing ok but isn’t going to get victory any time soon.

Going to post this one.

Hey Dawg, sorry, I completely missed your message from two weeks ago. I am hyper busy, but this should be over with, tomorrow. Sorry for the delay - let’s start to rumble this weekend!
