After you posted your feelings about playing the Russians poorly, I went back and looked at the game. Now, with hindsight, I realize what you meant. I actually messed up the Italian/German turn pretty bad considering the opportunity you gave me. With your units in Ukraine, I should’ve moved the Italians into Belarus as I did, but placed all of my Italian air units up there in the neighborhood too. Then, on my German turn, I should’ve purchased three tanks for Novograd along with moving my entire air force to Belarus. THAT would’ve put you in a bad, bad position.
Exactly ! You got it.
Then, next turn, you could have move your stack to Bry, and then it’s kinda over. All the juicy russian territories would have fallen in one or 2 rounds (Nukr, Sukr, Ros, Cau, Volo).
Now i bought myself a few more rounds(even it it is as few as 2 rounds) and it gives me a little hope….but not too much ! Your german attack is very, very powerful…About crete, that’s true, you lost time here and your units would be much better in Syr. But it’s still a decent move because whatever happen now, UK will just never again get his NO for control of all his original territories. Not that it was a big concern, but at least, you won’t have to worry about that for a while.

Sheesh. I really shouldn’t be taking my turn now. I just watched my Chicago Bears play a very, very, very, very sloppy and poor game against the Lions. One thing for sure with our offensive line is that every week I am seeing Jay Cutler’s career shortened with the pounding that guy is taking. My mood is pretty dour. :-P

I have the French non-movement. I’ll try to take my German turn tomorrow. I need to go to bed now. Before I do that though, I want to ***note: I really mean to move a sub into z125 so as to take your pesky Russian NO away from you that I forgot last round.
That’s all. Good night partner.
