Once the mid-game hits, most of the action at the periphery has resolved and our overall end-game strategies are probably locked in. At this stage I get frustrated sitting back watching my opponent make unblockable moves, and just quietly building up until I have a massive preponderance somewhere is the most boring section of the game for me.

Forgot to say, the Russian turn may be skipped unless AH buys ships.

@The_Good_Captain
Not sure why you converted the SZ6 Mine, since they cannot be captured.
“While the naval base is under the control of either its original controller or another power on the same side (see “Sea Zones”, page 11), any enemy sea unit that moves into or through such a sea zone may strike a mine.” [Renegade Edition]

Interesting, I didn’t know if you would make a play for Greece or not, so I declined to scoop up Albania & Serbia as UK to give the defense there its best shot and moved into Ankara earlier than I wanted to try and discourage a play there (in Greece).

Please remove 9 US Infantry and 2 UK Infantry.

@The_Good_Captain
Russian turn may be skipped through unless AH buys Navy.

@The_Good_Captain
Are the units in France correct? I see a damaged French tank which should not be there unless you used Edit Mode to damage it before the dice were rolled (which you should do, to make sure there are no issues when assigning damage to Tanks on defense). However I don’t see any use of Edit Mode in the log.

@Eqqman
Never mind it started pre-damaged.
