If China attacks Kweichow, I want to see how many hits before deciding to lose the AA Gun.

Interesting strategy. I can’t see how Moscow will hold; I’ll probably get it G6 in spite of shooting for a G7 take down. However, you have held Yunnan for at least one turn and may hold it for more. It may be that you have something though, it just needs development. I’m still not sure what the 3 Russian bombers are for.

Sorry about the edit for Korea. I intended to make that attack but forgot to put it in.

@Giallo:

you had bad luck with aa but this might cost me the game

Well it wasn’t the best dice for you but when China didn’t attack I presumed that USSR wouldn’t. Not sure I understand.

So your plan involved losing Moscow early but holding Calcutta? Interesting idea but I think you need to hold Moscow until at least G8 to have a decent chance.
