@ArtofWar1947 :blush:

I am not sure which of your moves you considered bone-headed! I think I played the US turn 5 about 6 times trying different attacks and placements before I found one I liked. Perks of the forum format! I feel my strongest position is the Soviets, the dice gods favored me in that one battle. Not sure how the battle for Africa will progress at this point, gonna be a fraught campaign for the Brits!

Ah, the Japanese sub. Yeah that makes sense. It still paid for half of itself depriving me of the NO for one round, at least.

On reconsidering CM, thanks, that’s generous. I stuck with the original plan. In hindsight I think I discounted either the fighter or the tactical and would have brought in one more infantry, but the dice would not have favored me either way. Got fantastic dice in Northern Belarus, of course… :laughing:
