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.
