Yeah tough rolls on Belo- ouch!
I’ve calculated a 99% chance I get Moscow next turn (includes landing Brit planes there). I don’t think there is anything you can do about it, unless I missed something. You should be able to get it back the next turn though. However, I’ll have $100 bucks cash on hand AND Russia won’t be able to build anything for a round- ouch!
I guess that Belo battle makes up for the Sudan battle. This game always balances out like that it seems. First you think you are on the short end of the stick with Lady Luck then the next thing you know it, she’s all over you. Funny how that works in AA.
I think you just made this a game again for the Axis, considering the Belo blowout and the losses in the Pacific. Allies are still in it though- just a setback I would say.
Interesting game eh???
Ahhh well I guess I could have put a unit in Smolensk (my bad), but then that would have really just delayed the inevitable for a turn. I shouldn’t have attacked you last turn; i went on the offensive too early. Live and learn.
I know what you’re saying about how the dice go around and come around. It averages out in the end but there is a lot of variability from turn to turn.
Wait a second. I see a possibility. All is not lost. I will continue with it if that’s ok
Go for it. Like I said. Allies are still in it. In fact, I still think they have the advantage. Belo is a setback, that’s all. Makes it a game now though.

Yeah, position on the EFront is huge. EPoland is the key IMHO. Whoever owns it and can lock it down has the advantage. That’s b/c now it splits the Russian forces and they usually have to vacate the north for the rich south. Do you use a battle calculator??? I do- got the app on my phone. I ask b/c it seems like you didn’t crunch the numbers on the EFront before you positioned yourself in Belo.
No I usually just go with my gut unless it looks close. Again, live and learn
