This should help ease your pain:
I’m taking one less infantry off France, so you have one there.  I’m pretty sure you didn’t take off enough casualties after round 1 - you killed all my AA and infantry, so shouldn’t have rolled a “2” for round 2, and it did hit, so you should take one less hit.

Man, I like winning in 106…

I agonized about scrambling to 110, but I didn’t want to suffer from a bad roll.  Looks like maybe after seeing the dice fall that was the right thing to do… I’ll just tell myself they would have all missed.

Hmmmm… Should look interesting after UK1… Again.

Why did you attack poor Japan?

[gamerman01]

Keeps Mongolia out of the game
It’s my way of thumbing my nose at Larry Harris for his stupid Mongolia rules.  It helps the Axis more than the Allies, and now I have to throw away a Russian infantry on R1 to undo his stupid rule.

[gamerman01]

That was the little surprise I had up my sleeve that I hinted at earlier  :-o

Hmm, I always thought it was the opposite – 6 extra inf helps the USSR.  But who am I to say…  :-)

Nope.  One or two can’t get away anyway.
The ability of the Japs to cross over from north to central front and back, at will, is a HUGE advantage.  Now I have another choke point, and that’s worth more than a couple of infantry that won’t see any action for many rounds.

[gamerman01]

That is, the ability of the Japanese to freely cross over from North Russia to North China and back.

I suspected it would be that way as soon as I processed the Mongolia rules in my mind for the first time.  Couple games with you proved it.

If it helps the Allies more than the Axis, why are you so eager to attack Amu on J1?
:-)
I think it’s a good idea for me to take that option away from you.
