just noticed i couldve tried to hit your tt and des with rus sub. darn

Ive never heard of that game. I will roll for the sub vs destroyer on forum dice before my us turn

I can roll for it before US unless the results would affect your japan

+59 this round for the Axis.  So many Allied units were thrown away with not much to gain for it.  Colt has been playing too many games against ShadowHawk and adopted his strategy of forcing a large number of battles each round.  That tactic usually doesn’t payoff as the initial TUV advantage rapidly disappears.

Fortunately the Allies are playing much stronger on the European side of the map.  Germany should be in Belarus and Novgorod on G4.  With proper Axis play the Russia cannot stop the advance until the army is on the outskirts of Moscow, forcing a decision of launching a costly final assault on the capitol on diverting the thrust south to the oil fields.

first die is mine, second is yours.
