Giallo (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis) BM3

Intercept in London?

OOL if you do intercept?

Must have been some sort of misclick there. Obviously all the fighters were supposed to be intercepting.

Looks like Italy can get Egypt this turn. Not sure how you’ll stop that.

Still, I think this strategy of yours has gone much better than I would have anticipated. 12 rounds it’s gone even after losing Moscow G6. I think after my G2 buy you could have adjusted a bit to ensure Moscow held until G7 but even without doing that the economy was close the whole game. If that coin flip attack in Iraq had gone differently, well I was thinking I’d recover but I’m not so sure now.

Surely that’s it.

I think USSR helping China is probably optimal. I guess the degree of help is a debatable point.
