Panther is right, please use the save file below the turn summary, not the corrected one.
@VictoryFirst I was not aware that in classic you could rig things so to allow the attack to retreat into a territory that was captured earlier in the turn. That is interesting.
Regardless, will play on with the file where Germany retreated into Romania.

Ignore the dice stats provided for the US turn and calculate based on the actual dice that got rolled.
Likely going to be a very one-sided game based on these initial results but there is still a window for things to change. If you attack the USSR sub it will submerge if it somehow manages to survive the first round of combat.

I know you typically submerge in naval combat but I am asking here in case you wanted to attempt to deny me the 4 IPC. USSR missed. Will Germany submerge or fight?
In this case, the Germans will fight to the death.

In case you’re concerned with my current moves, my proposed “altered strategy” was effectively ruined by how disastrous the German opener was (I intentionally gave you 70% @ Ukraine with the hopes that you would not attempt to take it). I am more or less flying by the seat of my pants at this point in the hope that the dice turn around somewhere.
I’m sure you were already expecting this, but I am going to ask for a do-over once the dust settles on this one.
