You’re up with US and UK, will Paris hold?

very likely.  I don’t have the map in front of me, but I didn’t see Paris falling right away without some divine intervention.

I’ll try to roll it up later tonight and see.

I looked at Quebec combat, that is frustrating.  www.dskelly.com showed that as winning 86%, the last couple of rounds your luck has just crashed.  You’ve still got US9 and UK9 to retake Paris but the forces aren’t in your favor there.
