Russia, I must compliment you on your shooting that round.  Your guys are definitely well rested and ready to fight. :wink:

I can really see your experience coming out in our game.  You switched your purchases to the European theater at exactly the right time.  If you had waited even one more round to place in the Atlantic with the USA, I think Italy and Germany would have had enough of a leg up that it would have almost been a foregone conclusion that Russia would fall.  As it stands, even without placing units in the Pacific, you will still be thwarting me for a few rounds at a minimum.  Man, you are good.

Actually, i think i panicked a bit too much in the early game. I didn’t have to spend that much in the pacific, and i should have threaten to come at Gibraltar 1 round sooner. After all, winning in the pacific is not so easy. You would sure have a better position than now, but i would have diverted your spending in europe 1 round sooner, and that would be a big relief for the russian.
So, you are right to say that i switched my purchase at the right time, but i would add : at the right time to save the game (or maybe just delay the fall of Moscou). But that’s still too late for someone (like me  :-D)who likes to be in control of his game…
It’s gonna be 100% europe spending for a while now.
In the pacific, my fleet has the kind of proportion that i like to go all in against the Japanese fleet (lots of fodders).

Russian turn tomorrow.

Well, I have no idea if this is the “right” move or not.  It sure doesn’t feel like it knowing what I am going to do, but, at least it buys me another round against your fleet even if I am just “treading water”.

Those 6 dudes in Kwe have been fantastic.
