@axis-dominion I think combining with the Japan attack on Siberia is key. Once all of Siberia is mopped up, that’s a 14-16 IPC swing per round that Japan doesn’t even have to dedicate units to defend.

@pacifiersboard sounds good. I will try to start later today or tomorrow.

@zlefin I don’t think there is anything that limits it but I also don’t think the effect would be that dramatic either. @gamerman01 can probably speak more to it. The difference also is limited in that my OOB score is siginficantly lower than my BM score (I’ve just played a lot more BM). I’m guessing I would lose somewhere between 50 and a 100 in a loss.

And no problem if it is definitely over.
