Oh I am wondering if I am doomed in this game already.
Certainly anything can happen with the dice, but the odds are looking a bit long.
@gamerman01 Thanks! Appreciate the sportsmanship.

That’s some more exciting rolling, right there. Victories and losses for both.
I admire the restraint in the Med. The Italians can’t get away, after all. It’s hard to have patience!
Indeed, they’re whipping out the history books to study the guns of Ticonderoga, and how can we slide these ships up onto the shores of Albania. Maybe splitting them up into 7 or 8 sea zones is the way to go 😂

I’m going to call it now, but if you return and want to finish it, I’m willing to do that especially because it will not be hard to re-orient to the game since it’s early.
Hope all is well.
