I took off 3 ANZAC infantry as your casualties in Iraq.  You can swap them for something else if you would have wanted a different OOL.

[variance]

I think at this point your only hope is to suicide your American and British planes into Egypt and hope to clear it (3% chance), then have the Russian tank capture it.  Otherwise it’s game.
