You keep making negative expected TUV attacks! I’m pretty confused by the last one on Persia. Hoping for an unexpected win to gain some momentum?

Your major problem was your Barbarossa faltered. I think it may have been because you spent too much money on fleet and not enough on mechs. Also, you made a two pronged attack including Bessarabia but you need a single thrust to be strong enough to stop counter attacks.

Those things allowed me flexibility to play USSR for more income.
