Its going to be close, I have 2 rounds to save this or go down it seems.
USSR collects 14+1 = 15
Hmm…you know that I can strike the fleet at Australia, right?
Nope, I didn’t see the naval base there, if you want, I can leave a DD as a blocker, your call.
Go ahead. The game would be over regardless if you didn’t block.
Yes, that fleet is vital to the game continuing…that’s the only reason do it, otherwise you win.
If I end up losing this as it looks in 3 rounds, care for a rematch, I’ll focus on Japan early to still test the Spain concept.
A rematch will have to wait until I’ve got some more free time. I usually go a few months on then a few off for playing by forum. I’m starting up a busy cycle again here.
