You had some rough dice in several battles this game.

Of course I have no problem playing on till Cairo is captured…I think abandoning my earlier efforts for Cairo in favor of Moscow paid off. Losing my planes in Africa was partly (but not fully) balanced out by Russia losing it’s air in Cairo the same turn round.

Japan just collected 58 IPCs…I kind of think the evil Axis forces can’t be stopped now.

Sure.
