[JamesAleman]

I know I should play Russia conservative, but this is too much fun. ATTACK!!  :evil:
USSR turn 9:

Production: 20
4 infantry =12
1 mech =4
1 artillery =4
12+4=16+4=20

Combat Moves:
I had a 70 Percent chance of winning in Cau, but why rely on dice and risk letting Japan get bigger, when I can have more fun with maneuvers that keep things interesting.

[JamesAleman]

That plan was executed without flaw…got lucky there.
Sukr: Germany lost art; USSR no loss
Ros: Italy lost inf; USSR no loss
Volo: Germany no loss; USSR retreats to Sam, no loss (that is how you rescue 3 out of 4 units)

Noncombat Moves:
To Rus: 9art,17inf-Bry; 2ftr-Sukr
To Sam: 5inf,3aagun-Rus; 4inf-Volo(retreat); 2arm-Ura
To Novo: inf-Ura (blocker)
To Vol: tac-z100;12 inf-Kaz -leaving aagun to block  8-) I’m going to have to patent that move, free aaguns can have value.

I’ll save a few aaguns for when Japan hits Russia…they may take it after Germany softens it up.  :-D

Placement:
Rus: 4inf,mech,art

Collection: 17

Still trying to figure out who time favors in this game, I’ll have to address your income soon if I want to win this. Unless, I can pull something off that shifts things drastically.

Also, France could have hit the dd in z94 permitting Rome to fall, but Germany has a dd that could have blocked….just be careful-France waits for its glory.

That was my Itention if you did it this way. I didn’t bother to mention it because I thought it was rather obvious.

Wow, when you hit, its 3 every time isn’t it :) I am beginning to think you over bought subs…seems like you only need 1  :-D

UK collects: 28

Anzac matters now, I’ll do them after Italy, before Germany, or I can do them before USSR and you can do Germany if CPR is not attacked by Germany. France will also wait to see what develops: DeGaulle insists. I keep telling him, he doesn’t matter, but God forbid Churchill hears about it.

I’m hoping to lease it to Japan, much as Hong Kong was later returned to China in 1999. I’ll be back if I win this game  :-D
