Shitt, that’s a game changer maybe.

Is that the only way to beat the bombers?  Blind luck?

I will say with the higher bid and the ability of the UK to hold Egypt has allowed the US to basically let its self be total fodder…. they really have nothing on the board… compared to a more traditional game
