Cow (allies +13) vs. Bold

ie, you would have lost 3 ftrs, tac with anzac.  this means egypt never falls and the germans eventually do overwhelm russia.  the anzacs blocking 37 are the whole destabilizing factor in this one as i see it.

@Cow:

I mean honestly, you can win pretty much every game just by doing J1 DOW. USA has to invest in the pacific or you get big fast and then he has to invest into the pacific for the rest of the game or lose in the pacific. This means Germany has no pressure. Italy and UK do their thing. That is it. Pretty much works every time barring bad dice like losing france attack or phil attack… things happen that screw you over really hard for any game.

U didn’t win when you did j1 against me.
