Thank you! But I don’t make any progress. Japan is still in the upper 30ties, Germany is really strong and my Russians are to weak.  :|

And by the way: Good defense in Archangel. Thats a killer  :-o

Right, usually you choose the losses as you were the defending player.
Sometimes there’s no other way than rolling your dice and asking your opponent for the losses. But in our case it won’t make a big difference.

Game is over, I have to concede.
Well played! I had no chance with my UK approach in India.

How about a new game? You want to switch sides this time or shall I try the Allies a third time? and how about a bid? I think the truth is somewhere between 6 and 9 IPCs. Just tell me what you think…

Sounds good.

I would suggest a bid of 9 IPCs?!?
If you agree, I’m looking foreward to your Allied approach  :-D

I forgot to mention the russian bomber bid in Moscow.
I saw this working pretty good in a game. So that could be an other option.

Whatever you choose will be fine for me  8-)
