@surfer just wanted to check to confirm if the turn is done

to be clear I’m asking just because you posted the combat move but not the final turn. I’ll probably do Germany now as I dont think there is any ncm France can do that would change the move, but if htere was an ncm you forgot, I imagine you could add it on Russia.

actually just realized its the French combat move. not ncm. I’ll wait for you to confirm or finish the turn.

if you go all in on defending N Italy, and can manage to wipe out my units in France and S France without using units that need to be in N Italy this is what I get as a combat:

@farmboy you do have a couple of other choices here too, but just thtought that was interesting. And I’m pretty sure its the largest combat I would have ever had if it happens.
