If the odds are in my favor - which I think they are - I will probably go all in on Iraq with Germany.

You dont have to give me your OOL now, but I assume you will go for max defense. It is possible to take the battle round by round if you wish, but it will take more time. The main question is whether the bombers are to be sacrificed right away or kept alive until later(in case you win).

@Amon-Sul:

i forgot that u can attack yunnan with italy

Yeah, I figured you missed that  :wink:

Okay then, I hope I can take my turn soon. This battle can really make a big difference.

I have put the game on pause before the big battle. Would hate to lose the internet connection during the Iraq battle. I am in the train now. It wont take long before the connection is stable again.
