Sovietschat (A) vs Ichabod (X) - Game3

I’m going to roll the Moscow battle next turn. My hand is forced since you did a good job of getting Russia all of that extra NO money. I can’t afford to wait till like round 12ish since the US can pretty much go Atlantic now. I made a few mistakes early game with Italy when it had a chance to be a problem for the UK.

In a Moscow scenario where both sides get fair dice, Germany will have to take air hits to keep 1 tank for the capital capture. Just winning in a fair dice situation doesn’t mean Germany can make it to Cairo. I’ve won post-Moscow games as the Allies and lost a few (most concede the game not realizing they could win).

If you get something out of the ordinary like 6/15 dice roll 1s for AAA (or better), then you’ll have a good chance of actually defending and then I’ll concede the game of course. Average dice I think is 2.5 or 2-3 plane hits.

Good job! Well played; especially with Russia this game.

86% odds aren’t very good for Germany when it’s going to have to take plane hits anyways just to keep 1 ground unit for the capture.

The first round rolls really swung it in favor of Russia.
