Why not, let’s go full scramble, max D

Oof, 112 went hard in my favor :(.

No worries. I don’t see a way forward for the Axis. Well played!

Good luck in the finals!

Good game! The dice were definitely not your friend this time around :(. That early med was wild.

Savegame

I regret to inform you that you made a huge mistake.

You chose casualties for me in the Ukraine, but I would have chosen to save an AA gun.

You can’t retreat from an AA gun, so your hit and run failed - your army would win and capture the Ukraine.

You may re-do your noncombat since the board you played at the end of the combat phase was wrong.
If you were unaware or completely forgot about this rule and the great danger of attacking the Ukraine, let me know and perhaps we can reach some kind of agreement.
