[LuckyLindy]

absolutely hideous.  that really really really stinks.  I trade 25 for 6 AND don’t take FRA to get the 11 it was worth, AND you save 13 IPC you should have lost, AND you don’t have to take back FRA…  well, that’s most likely the game right there.

also, I bought one too many units so the transport will be in reserve.

FRA holds with 2 artillery, tank

Noncombat Moves
2 destroyers, 2 ac from Z7 to Z13
2 fighters from FRA to Z13
4 infantry, artillery, AA gun from IND to PER
infantry from TRJ to EGY
6 infantry, artillery, tank from TRJ to PER
transport from Z45 to Z25
destroyer from Z45 to Z56
Mobilize
5 infantry, artillery in GBR
fighter, ac in Z7

transport is in reserve

Income
32 + 5 NO = 37

well that was about a 60-80 IPC swing.  :|  i was hoping AUS would be helpful, but just like against Zhukov, the victory is followed by an even greater, probably fatal, defeat.

unfortunately, no amount of strategy can overcome dice that bad.  :|
