I’m so used to the slow pace of Ger into Rus, that I overlooked the size of your mobile units.  I had considered placing 2 inf in E Pol.  Big mistake not to pull back to Bry last turn or place another inf in E Pol.

In every round of every Rus battle, Rus rolled below average and the defender rolled better than or equal to the odds.  Ger sub def of 1, hit.  I used minimum units to win in Baltic and under hit every round.  Neutral inf hit 2/3 1st round and 1/1 2nd round.  If I lose this game, it won’t be because of bidding, it will be not blocking Ita into E Pol with more troops.

[Colt45554]

Hopefully Rus learned its lesson  :evil: 💪🏻

missed the post button. Moscow is mine.

[FMErwinRommel]

All day I’ve been messing up in A&A.  How did I overlook the Ita tank again.  And why don’t the dice ever save me.  I never got a Marti for the inf in Bry.  This is irritating since it doesn’t let us see how these alternative strategies work.  I think the USA sub and fig strategy is feasible.

[FMErwinRommel]

I didn’t even put all my builds in Mos.  There is no way that Ger should be able to take Mos in T5, i’m just not with it today.  So what did Rus roll in Bry?

[Colt45554]

my marti shows a 4.

[FMErwinRommel]

This was an unusual game in that Ger didn’t use it’s air in Rus.

[Colt45554]

I don’t consider this match a done deal, yet. I will lose my tanks in the counter-attack and the Brits keep advancing.

[FMErwinRommel]

But Rus won’t get to build with it’s bigger income that Ger gets and Ger has 2 inf armies.  Bri can’t take Egypt this turn and if uses 1 fig to sink the trans, it has only a 50/50 chance of retaking Iraq.  But we’ll slog on to see how the USA strategy works.  But it won’t realistic with Ger’s big income.
