Wow, got really lucky there with the destroyer. I thought that was a suicide mission.

End 7.tsvg

I don’t know who screwed the pooch on the defense of Russia so badly in the last 2 turns,

But this game is NOWHERE near finished.

Allied income is still 40+ over the Axis, and for the Axis to win, Egypt must be controlled.  It’s evident, that the allied play is a little bit  less experienced.  But if they figure a few things out, like how to prevent the fall of egypt this turn and for the rest of this game (which is quite doable) - this will drag out into an exciting conclusion. And I believe the momentum could return their way.

From a technical standpoint, momentum is behind them in economics already.

Thus, if they use their heads, this can be salvaged, and survived.  Stalingrad can be liberated Effectively, And getting Air Support to Russia, is doable.

That said, it’s unconventional, and is likely to piss everybody pff, but if the russian’s just start moving their stack to the south, the more time they buy - even with the loss of their capital 2 turns from now, the more problems they cause for germany in the long run, which = time for the allies to win.

You’ve got quite a game ahead of you.

This isn’t over by any means.

That is of course… If the allies fight back effectively.

If they pay no attention. you are correct, this will be over VERY shortly.

Fair comments Shin-Ji,

But I disagree. :)

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

A real R8.tsvg

Little Boot, even with some Bad Luck, that’s what a turn of Russian Resistance needs to looks like.

Take a look at those moves, and think about them, as this tournament is all about learning… it’s a good oppurtunity to do just that :)

You’re almost there, and once you figure out that it’s a good idea to move, or have spend concious thought on every single one of your pieces, you’ll be 10x the player ;)

I believe in you!

But I also belive Shin-Ji is going to scoop your capital in 2 turns! Yikes! :S

I won’t offer anymore comments. :(

I don’t want to sway the game anymore!

Crap, in my focusing on em moves so much, I completely forgot about the units in the far east. Ah well.

I, also, am not convinced this is in the bag. I’m looking forward to this turn.

Also I’d prefer not to see outside influence directly in an official tournament game. I don’t think that qualifies as fair play.

Agreed. :P

I apologize if I’ve interefered…
