taken w/out loss
well,… it’s early, and you will have a much better chance to recover than i did in game 1, but simply from the standpoint of luck, it has swung nearly entirely to the other extreme from our last game. you are getting jobbed in a major way…
noncombat moves coming up…

clearly not thinking straight… hit in sz115 taken to bb, sub lives(!)…

see map…
i accidentally deleted my .txt file that had the rest of the move typed out, but i had the map already plotted. if you see anything that looks fishy, let me know and i will retrace steps back to previous map.deployment

Stalin, infuriated by Hitler’s treachery, summons the General Staff to the Kremlin.
Comrade Generals, the filthy Hun have declared war, destroyed the Baltic Fleet and are even now at the outskirts of Leningrad. What do you have to say for yourselves? I thought as much.
Shots ring out…Stalin’s aid rushes into the room to find the Generalissimo standing over the dead bodies of the Soviet General Staff.
Comrade General Secretary, shall I take out the trash?
No, leave them and bring me Foreign Minister Molotov.Stalin orders an immediate counter attack against the invading Hun.

Comrade General Secretary, shall I take out the trash?
No, leave them and bring me Foreign Minister Molotov.that’s hysterical… :lol:
what was i to do? this is like, my 3rd game playing axis, and i have never seen anyone build a russian navy, so i really had no idea how to react. the dice were awfully kind, so it seemed to work out. but we’ll see in the long run. it’s still a looooooooong ways to moscow.
nice counter-attack… i thought i had you toward the end, but you finished with a flourish… nicely done. and it took guts… that was about 50-50 battle, and if goes sour, russia is dead.
now let’s see what the yellow horde has in store…
