ANZAC has the wrong amount of money on this version - not sure how that happened, but you need to add 4 IPC’s

@Zhukov44:

Sorry about all the raggedy edits, as I didn’t practice the UK turn beforehand.  I should probably still surrender as I’m now down on TUV and will probably never get the lead back, but I’ll honor the heroic Chinese victory by staying in the game a little longer.

Thank you, it was in fact starting to get a little annoying but I didn’t want to say anything.

It’s OK, you do still have enough weight to throw around that I still can’t just mail it in. 
I haven’t decided whether to hit Kiangsi with everything I’ve got, or let them go this turn, so not sure if we’ll have yet another showdown in east China next J turn or not

You had a good chance of wiping both units from Iraq, so that was about a 30 IPC swing which largely negated the extreme luck in Kiangsi, in my estimation

Oh, please don’t take that to mean that I’m telling you not to play on - I just meant to acknowledge my own luck and that you got nailed by the curse of the clever.
I was so sure those bombers were going to be cleaning up transports off East Africa that I never sent, or trying another raid on 97 that I didn’t consider that.  But as they so often do, the dice bailed out a mistake

Do you want to intercept from London or Cairo?

It’s been almost 12 hours…. I’ll let you roll interceptors after the fact if you want

If Triple A still does AA fire wrong (just rolls them all together) I will declare that the 2nd AA die is for the Air base and the 1st one is for the Major
