Congratulations farmboy — utter wipeout.

Really great counter to my Japanese Strategy. I thought I had come up with the counter to the Yunnan Stack and you proved it horribly inept. In all my tests it never dawned on me to declare war as UK on Turn 2. That was brilliant. While I had a momentary surge in monies it kept the Chinese and British from being separated which had been my goal.

With my play in the Pacific being behind I had to be a bit more brave with the dice and when the 72% battle didn’t go as planned I hoped the 85% battle would turn things around. Of course, with the utter failure of that battle game over.

I am thinking with the Yunnan Stack the Bid is going to have to drop considerably.

BTW - I loved your opening for the Allies on the Europe side of the board. That will become my go opening. As they say steal from the best. :)

Congratulations on a perfectly played game!!!

Okay - never mind. Since it is Low Luck it is rolling either a 1 or a 2 to determine a 5 or 6 result.
