Well, no intercept was your best defense!

I thought you were going to land an ANZAC fighter in NW Persia, kind of like you did earlier in the game… I would have saved Persia for a turn, at least.

Savegame

I need OOL for the Shan State battle. Your AA killed 2 fighters, and my shore bombard got three hits. Specifically, should I kill your bombers, or save them for later. My original odds were 98% success rate, but it may be less now that your AA did well.

Well, you rolled extremely well, so I was hurt far more by the Shan battle than you. You also did well in Russia. Very good Russian move.
