@Zhukov44:

Don’t forget to mark the damage.

Right, sorry.  I see you marked it on your map.

Well, my second high risk, high reward fight of this game.  Still looks to me like i’m losing ground turn by turn so a gamble is the best I can hope for.

USA 4

well, bit better for me round two, but not enough.

I’ll conceed the win to you now.  I am about to go on vacation for two weeks and I have had enough trouble playing this summer as it is.

Good luck the rest of the way, when I saw your move this morning I thought AH HA!  he finally made a mistake that might get me back in the game, but the dice didn’t fall my way today.

Matt.

it’s the way it happens, the best player definetly won!

very nice combination of moves… taking Japan here should have done it for good, and I guess it may have been an allied victory then. Did not follow the game entirely, but if you were loosing, a 66% was just your best shot.

Zhukov commented on the air build, I think it keeps Japan honest or risks losing its navel advantage on USA 2 to a 4 fighter 4 bomber strike on zone 62. This is the first time I can remember having bombers left for an actual attack on japan

Matt, you’re one heck of an improved player.  Nice game.
