So start a new Game Thread and France should dial you in .
I will do it. The Thread
Understood re: venting. I spent two straight hours (with the help of a fair amount of vodka) making Steve miserable last time he was here… the luck was killing me, but worse, I left Egypt open to Germany on G4… ugh. So early to make such a mistake. In A&A, I usually find that my best learned lessons tend to be fatal.
And, I vowed to never harangue him like that again… until next time! :evil:
On to Moscow -

Well, at least Belarus is giving your combined forces a bloody good kicking. :-P I’m proud of them.
Germany collects 51 + 15 NO + 31 = 97 IPCs.
That damned Belarussian unit deserves a monument.
And I shall build it, out of scrapped Wehrmacht Panzers, Luftwaffe aircraft and the bodies of those pesky SS bastards.
Well, I’m trying a different method here. We shall see if it works out in the end. But, I like to experiment with odd and what some may call, unsound theories. Hee, hee.

Retaking Soviet Far East.
Move some more, and try to make life a bitch for the Axis.
Ooh, I just looked and the end of next turn will give you 8 victory cities for Europe. So, this might end much sooner that I thought. Good game.

Japan collects 64 + 5 NO = 69 IPCs.
I don’t see me holding 8 cities in Europe through the end of the next turn…
As usual, the balancing act of playing the USA befuddles me and leaves me with more question than answer. And away we go.
