I took a 50/50 and sunk usa. I choose for best defense.

[Jeff28]

You win. I surrender.

Another cow dice miracle!

[Cow]

Well… looks like liberating london is not going to happen. :) Delayed me from pushing Russia back though.

[Cow]

wait you are still in a good spot?!?!

Russia is still banking. I can’t kick Russia away from east poland yet. So you will get those two bonuses next round. and 3 this round. Then you get iraq bonus for good.

I understand defending the top part of Russia might be hard. when my fleet goes to sz 112 and prepares to mega dump guys.

[Cow]

I do see how the allies might struggle to stop the europe win in the upcoming rounds, not having uk is kind of a big deal.

[Jeff28]

I am tired of losing every major battle and all of your air coming away unscathed.

[Cow]

Fair enough. >,< I can see how that is demoralizing.

[Cow]

The 2 german subs defending against your naval, pretty much negated your bid. I was hyper aggressive this game, so lots of it hinges on dice.

I accept.

[Cow]

I will play an econ strategy next time, if we play again, so things are less crazy.
