Thank you for your patience for this move!
I assumed casualties for round 1 of the Sea of Japan attack, but I need to ask you for 2 more casualties - see file posted
Thanks, and it shouldn’t take me too long to finish through Russia 10 after that

Bah, likely right.
This game will just always stand as a reminder to me–KGF should always mean Japan KRF. Japanese boots in America, as tempting as it always is, are almost always more useful in NRussia or China.
Yeah like I said, in far fewer words, you are up. And if you do take this one we will be 1-1 against each other w/two allied wins. I guess I can take some solace away from this by the fact that my allied win against you came on T8 or 9 and you seem to need 18 -19 turns to take me down? :-P
I think I might have been a bit conservative with Germany. Should have bought a IC for JPN sooner and purchased more DD’s for JPN in pacific. Perhaps I was overly aggressive (spread too thin) w/JPN when the Russo/brit stack closed in on BUL/POL and I felt the need to rush towards MOS. Perhaps the loss of so many JPN inf early affected things too?
And the ITA navy purchases never seem to help….
I don’t think all is lost however…The game doesn’t end when R holds the big NO. I may have a trick up my sleeve, perhaps I can get in a position where the dice gods can help?

Very nice defense in France…. America might have a shot at it now?

Well, congratulations to you, too. Can’t you give a guy credit when he plays well? Don’t make me recount all the times you got very lucky in the first game, including the disastrous G1 attack on Z2. :roll:
