Yeah - but dont forget 3/9 for AA.

This is where the statistics get interesting, because each different outcome is essentially a 2% or whatever chance window; Some just have higher spectral values :)

I was definitely satisfied with the result.

It’s a bit late now but Germany is alot weaker than you think.  You need to press your russian advantage.  Sure you can’t attack until next turn; but I would push/lean into Germany everywhere possible as hard as possible; they’ve spent too much time building complexes and boats.  The red beast must destroy them!

I’ll give a more detailed response tomorrow once I look at the turn more.

Just posting to keep my game threads together
