I agree, great game. Thought I had the upper hand most of the way through but there have been a couple of points that you nearly had me, especially grabbing India for the 7th VC.

None of them.

max D, nice roll

Yes it was, I assume the casualties until this point are ok.

Now, Do you want anything but Max D here?

Regarding the decision to attack, I feel it was necessary with the amount of air you had in E India.
