there’s a little help from the dice.  that should help turn this game into a barn burner.

now just imagine another 50+ russian units on the board (of course you would have 20+ more germans as well if not for the ukraine massacre).  :-)

regardless, my goal was accomplished - this went from a one sided game to a game that is going to require creativity and has danger at every turn!  that’s my kinda game.

screw it, i’m pulling all the british back to calcutta -
no sense trying to get cute.

i admit that clearing your fleet was lucky, but i had about a 35-40% shot to do it, and it was my best chance to keep you from winning in the short term.  :-)

japan’s stalled out, so victory is not coming in the pacific.  you got 7 of 8 in europe, but egypt is gonna be a much tougher proposition nowj with that little breakthrough.  fun fun fun

now, if you attack egypt and i wipe you out 2 to 1, we might be about back to where we started.  :lol:
