LA and London had just been taken this turn. We allow all 5 players to use a dual-impulse phase like from WAW, and Germany and Japan used theirs at the same time and just barely managed to take them. I was playing the US and Russia. We haven’t, as of yet, successfully held Russia, none of us. It just seems to be cursed ground. I have seen some of the unluckiest die rolls for the Russian player defending against Germany. I’ve seen the Caucasus fall without the defenders land a single hit. Same with Archangel. We think our board may be cursed. The next game we’ve agreed that Russia is going to be a co-op player, with ALL of us working for a Russia strategy, using what has kinda worked for each of us in the past. Any suggestions?
