Looks like the dawning of the 3rd Reich!  The Germans are nearly perfect!  Time to round up some more disposable warm bodies……

R2 with 33, buy 5 INF, 2 ART, 2 ARM

Combat moves -
Kar - 2 INF, ART (Fin) 5 INF (Arc) ARM (Rus)
Z5 - Red October
Bel - 2 INF, ART (Rus)
Ukr - 2 INF, ART (Cau)

We do not have enough rifles.  If the man running in front of you falls, you will grab his rifle…
You will be alright, because we are sending in heavy artillery right behind you.  Watch the artillery shells and the “invincible” Germans fall before you!
For the Motherland!

(Remember - I haven’t played the Allies in a year.  Russia has always been my favorite power to play.  I ordered an A&A T, and of course I picked the Russian one.  I just can’t wear it in public, because of the hammer and sickle…)

Fortunately, the Wermacht is completely stuck in the mud of the Motherland.
The Bear roars!

[gamerman01]

Actually, the Bear was only clearing his throat.  He must have the same head cold I have.

Man, you are leading a charmed life!  3 infantry traded for 3 infantry and I had overwhelming odds on all 3 land battles!  But I am happy I will not lose any British fighter planes to the cruiser.

I like the russian aa advance. I often do that myself but sometimes you pay the price from SBR’s. Looks like I need to start buying bmb’s

[gamerman01]

@JWW:

Thanks.  I did note your bomber was in position to hit either one and return to a safe landing spot, but thought you would have more important things to do with it this turn anyway.  Maybe.  The one time Dutch left his factory open and I bombed it, I hit it for 1 damage.  Even without AA, SBR can be risky, you know?  :-)

I encourage you to keep the comments coming during this game.  I just don’t want either of us to be excessively whining about dice (like I might have crossed the line in the league game?) or insulting or trashtalking.  Thanks again for honoring my earlier request to stop trash talk.

I am excited about this game because it looks like another exciting game.  And, as you know, I’m pretty enthused about running the Allies again.  Will review your turn and I think I will be moving here tonight…

Are the Germans really trained that well, or are the Russians just terribly underequipped and poorly led?  Or both?  Let’s see how the limeys do…  without air or naval support…

[gamerman01]

Elite German division eliminated with no Allied casualties.  Must have been the Russians inadequacy…

Woo - looks like I have tough Brits…
But can they handle the U-boats??
