Don’t really see the path forward from here. Some bad dice but I think the losing move was letting you grab Gibraltar I1. Could have been prevented but I’m a bit rusty.
Will think if I have forgotten anything a bit before posting.

I guess a 80% win chance is not enough for this game…
Good game, too major battles, two major losses = game over…
Happy for a rematch if you are?
I’ll post the loss.
This was an excellent game. I lost a good number of small battles that I should have won too but I definitely had good fortune on the big ones that counted the most. Thanks for the game.
Switch sides?

1 Transport off S. Africa
1 ART in Alex
1 ARM Egypt
1 Mech in India
1 IPC to Russia
