My tanks need some warming up I guess. If that was the final assault, we’d be toast.
Collect 74 + 20 NO = 94.
wow, it looks like 2 rounds of misses and failing to take S. Ukraine is hurting USSR now, this will be close.
3 more tanks are in range :(
So I gave you a fight in Bryansk I think you can win, but if you fail, it’s probably the game there. England is also takeable at great risk, but then you’re likely to lose your fleet and I can take it back. Italy isn’t exactly weak, but you can potentially take it and get in and take the north. You can at least deny bonuses again. Time is running out for the Allies. It looks like it’s a tossup between one or two more turns depending on what Russia does. Maybe even three if Russia annihilates my stack. My major factory will quickly replace those loses though while Russia cannot keep pace. I’ve been spending less time looking at my moves so I may be missing something crucial again, but I think I’m just about to wrap this up.
Sadly, I was prevented from attacking Canada this game, which was really my one desire.
