Well, it would have been nice.
We’re at 54% you win, 46% I do as Italy approaches the end of Turn 13.
Anzac places and collects 10 IPCs. Italy is up!
Btw, I posted a query on the team game sight, looking for two players to take us on… keep an eye out for anyone interested. I said we’d play either Axis or Allies.
Man, I’m in a groove here, now… you’ve created a monster! I accepted an invitation to play from Sgt Pavlov… waiting for him to respond… Heather’s gonna kill me…
I really feel like I’m understanding the US, which is hugely important. Seeing a game that lasts deeper gives me a glimpse into their potential, if I had managed my fleets better. I think it is a game of patience, and not making mistakes. Not that sitting back will save Russia, but I mean methodically putting yourself into position to take steps forward and hold places. I’m getting less and less interested in the constant transport swap - I think it is a win for Japan in particular to play that style.
I’m really understanding the importance of fighters to the US. I’ll build at least one per round, probably for the rest of my life… I’ve come around to the Bodge way of thinking.

Crap. You could have scrambled. I hope you will let me withdraw the attack. Maybe I shouldn’t do this so late at night…

Steve, yes, I parked the three fighters in Gibraltar to protest both fleets, and blocked Germany with Britain so I could scramble into SZ92 and not need them for SZ91.
I also have a fighter on Britain, which could scramble into the British Channel if you made it tempting… I gave you the scenario a turn ago, based on number of pips/pieces you bring… it looks like you brought the automatic.
Protect, not protest!
Russia purchases 7 Infantry, 2 Artillery… the days of mech and armor may be over… thank the gods I bought so many aircraft early…

Sooner or later one of these close battles is going to burn me… I should win all by odds, but very close.

I figured you would want to lose the sub, knowing that I could opt to keep my destroyer as we discussed. This is of note for the future, because defender has to choose first.
