@nikola1975 yes, the russian attack was surprisingly close, but even if I captured it I don’t think it would have helped. I need to change my allied and axis strategies going forward. Abandoning Moscow and Stalingrad isn’t a viable plan…and to think, I was actually feeling good about this game with the naval victories in the MED & Pacific.

yes, I will play another. I’ll start the bidding at 21 for the axis…

@ArtofWar1947 Was getting a novel error trying to unload a transport onto Crete, so had to edit that.

@Jacob16

Yeah, tough situation with a poor dice on round 1 of attacks. First round is often very pivotal in these large battles.
