Realized I forgot to move air that was on West Germany, sorry

Ftr/Tac to Bryansk from W Ger, and 1 tac to NW Persia that attacked Cauc

As I thought - like an experienced, smart player you took appropriate chances at the appropriate time.  Amazing that it worked out for me - obviously more than offset the poor results at Morocco

You caught me by surprise, and like it so often does, the “curse of the clever” as I call it, strikes again.

I didn’t say that as clearly as I thought.
I meant that you are an experienced and smart player, not that you are “like” one.
