YUN should roll for 4 infantry

[Jercules]

They did, in the 2nd to last post. 2 hits to my 2 hits, and then their 2 had no hits. Did I screw up again?

[Cow]

I am surprised to see strait infantry buys from russia

[Cow]

also the airbase and minor on the same round, isn’t that broadcasting black sea fleet a bit much? strait usa bomber buys counter that really hard really fast.

[seth4god]

Hmmm, I’d love to face a G1/J1 attack. I’ve been doing a G1 Barbarossa and a J1 DOW as well and I’m not really sure what it’d be like to be on the other side of it. I’ve got too many games going right now though.  :|

[wheatbeer]

Sorry Jercules, I must’ve been tired, you did it right.  :oops:

Cow,

The airbase and minor went to HUN not ROM in this second match (the facilities are most likely intended to aid G2 and G3 SBR on Moscow).  I.e. he can mobilize new strats in range of Moscow ready to go for the next turn.

Based on our last match, I concluded that the USSR cannot get enough units in place to productively counterattack Germany’s main army as played by Jercules.  This is more apparent on G2 when he will likely strafe YUGO and all the mechs/tanks in France retreat out the back to Romania.  No matter what Russia does, it will need outside help to survive.
