Welp. Think I’ve looked at it every which way I can. Don’t see a way to pull this out that doesn’t go 20+ turns. Good game!

Needed that to go at least somewhat in my favor. Ah well. That most likely does it, just want to see how Japan goes.

Well that could have gone better.
I killed off the French fighter, but up to you if you’d prefer to have it instead of a UK fighter.

Yeah, nice to get that one . You made the right call, Frenchie did his job.
