@madwaldi Japan is up!
Sorry - forgot to copy the turn history to paste here.
I gambled and lost on taking N Rhodesia with just 1 ground unit supported by LF. I didn’t have any infantry to take hits. So now UK can blitz the light brigade into GEAfrica, and transport the Indian army in as well. But it will be a death trap for them, as I recruited the Zulus and Boers to supplement my Hun-gry Hippos and artillery.
@Witt UK lost 244 PU in Skag and TUV declined from 1077 to 801. Sorry, bad manners for gloating, but I was tired of being bombarded, without being able to bombard in return.
And this is a game changer, as Germany and Commies were going nowhere, and CP was headed for a slow death due to tech deficit. This gives Germany a breather, until the hordes of Americans arrive. Although, they are now also heading across the Pacific to harass the Commies.

@colt45554 And you got it from a single die, and you got max victory bonds

it was 1 token plus 1 from last round so 2 dice but the summary obscures that. I felt like i was due for good bonds cuz they have been lackluster before that

plays one round as British
inherits insatiable cheek and arrogance
:joy:
@colt45554 granted, your bond income was below average lately
You have all my sympathies Colt. Must be awful getting the tech you didn’t want. I am so glad that my Austria have never managed to get a tech and so spared me your pain! :-)
@private-panic trust me, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side
@colt45554 Trust me Colt - in my world it certainly always is! ;-)
