For the record, I’d want 4 inf as casualties, not 3 inf 1 aa.  Hopefully it won’t matter.

The allies surrender- well done - GG was fun! I have posted results.

[Zhukov44]

Thanks for the game Sovietishcat.  I like your experiments with USA bombers.  The Russian tanks on the other hand….don’t seem to work…at least against this G1 purchase and G1 moves.  I could see it working great if Germany switches to Sea Lion on G2…but with your bombers on WUSA, very few experienced players will switch from Barbarossa to Sea Lion since a G3 assault on London will be dicey and the Russian tank buy is a threat.

[Sovietishcat]

I try to convince Ger to do a sealion after a weak purchase from Uk 1 but I didn’t play well with Russia this game, I should not have move my Ruski stack on Baltic state, I was out of position!

But japan has so many bonuses in BM3 ouch, it hurt me a lot  :-P
