I’m sorry, but looking back on my US purchases, I overspent, and did not place my carrier. So, instead of 2 Fighters, I could only afford 1, along with the Carrier & the remaining 4 will be spent on a Mech. Sorry about that, and here is the updated map at USA turn end.
UK London turn 7 buys: 1 Inf, 1 Artillery, 1 Mech, 2 Tanks & 1 Destroyer=31 IPC’s.
UK Calcutta repairs 6 on IC.
Attacking Sudan with 1 Inf, 1 Mech, 2 Fighters & 1 Tac.

Well, that was my last gamble for a VC, as I should have had my Russkies stay put in their respective cities. I cannot gain any more VC’s by rounds end, thus leaving you with 8 VC’s on the European map and victory. At this juncture, I concede and declare you the winner. Congratulations on a game well played and I have learned much from this experience. Thank you for such an entertaining game and I look forward to our next.
Ok Jeff! I’d like to do some debriefing soon as well - a few notes.
That sounds good Rod. Lets debrief soon.
