well I will look later but I am pretty sure that for round 3 it was added by Garg. Dont have time to peruse the threads now though.
and this bid is in addition to the russian bomber, right? So it would be a bid of a russian bomber +12?
France (Italy can do whatever)

1. Built too many armor and planes
Germany was making 45 or so a turn. The only way they could spend that was to buy more arm and planes which are certainly useful, particularly in Anniversary. Armor gives me added mobility, planes give great flexibilty and allow me to threaten sea zones. I could have built a factory in France which is the only intelligent choice with a KGF but I expected you to bomb me and expected you to deny my Germany east europe NO much quicker in which case the factory would have been a waste. Cant really walk infantry from Germany through poland as UK can crush them.
2. Persia - You had 6 land units and a bomber in range. If I land in India you take it back with good odds and if not russians can clean it up or you can take TrJ and I dont have italian resources to get it back. I hit it risking a plane sure but banking on taking out a few units and then retreating the air to TrJ protecting TrJ and hopefully India. I would do that battle every time. If you had put a single russian inf there I wouldnt have done it but you didnt so I took advantage.
3. Ukr attack 3 arm, 3 ftr, and a bomber vs 3 inf 1 art. Fantastic odds, normal dice I lose 2 armor and then I get the NO and keep the russians back as they cant even threaten Bulg cuz armor cant reach and I can stack Poland instead. Worst case is I lose 3 armor but clear it. Instead you hit 4 for 4. Cant plan strat around that or good luck attacking anything. Dice happens whatever.
4. Nov attack. 7 arm 2 planes vs 7 inf. Again outstanding odds. If that battle goes remotely normal I stay one round take out 3 or 4 inf in exchange for 2 or 3 armor and then retreat into Chinghai and can stack Chinghai safely now that you dont have a huge supply of units able to counter with only limited backup on my part in china. Again I would do that battle everytime. Instead you hit 7 for 11 on 2’s and I way underhit. Also, I missed the Russian bomber buy and didnt think you could take out that transport, that left Egypt safe.
5. EPl attack. After the Nov attack my position looked terrible in Asia. I wasnt going to be able to advance again and Russia was going to start making their big NO and the allies were going to be able to continue to funnel units into Egypt. If I dont attack then Russia can take its NO for the rest of the game. Attacking and then retreating or winning at the cost of a few planes means you cant get your NO again and possibly not for several more turns giving Japanese time to come back. Again another attack that in the same situation I would make every time.
Knowing that you play so passively I probably could have played things a little differently but particularly since I was ahead I felt you needed to be more agressive and in your position I would have been.
Even mildly unlucky dice in those battles was fine with me. I wasnt planning on awesome results. But Those results were beyond bad luck. I massively underhit in everyone and you hit at a ridiculously high rate. I had probalby 99% odds in both the first two battles and 86 in the second and instead I ended up trading 19 arm 5 ftrs and 2 bombers for 11 infantry.
Dice happens but I have zero regrets about my play.
There is no point in continuing.
I resign. Good game.
