:-) wow, the evil dice (fate) have switched sides.  Italian AA and Iraq And I was hoping that you wouldn’t notice the Ita bomber hiding out in It Som or that you couldn’t reach it.  The Ita army in Africa, facing certain annihilation, will make a suicide charge.  Ita still can’t get the N.O. for no allied ships in Med.  Ita income is too low to make it a threat.

What’s with the crazy Bri moves to the Carib?  If you had just taken Bra with 1 inf, you could have carried away all of Bra’s troops.

Fra moves couldn’t change anything for Ger turn, so I moved without Fra orders.  If you want to move Fra, edit it in Rus’ moves.  Ger army E Pol was strong enough to move to W Ukr or Bela and withstand Rus attack.  Ita move to Bela allowed Ger blitz to Novo, where the Rus inflicted heavy casualties, but the destruction of the Rus air was worth the cost.  USA fleet should have waited a turn to move to Gib with warship support.  Perhaps you didn’t think W Ger bombers could reach there.  I didn’t until just last year, when I found a flight path that allowed landing in Fra.
