No scrambles.

@nikola1975 take your time and good luck.

Scramble option for N Belarus, odds are in your favor but I almost skipped as you’ve declined similar in the past. However it could affect moves quite a bit so I feel the need to confirm.

@Stucifer That is what Pierce did to me the first game. I did not react well at all, and lost quickly. In general though, SeaLion is way more powerful than I realized.
The Russians can grow and maintain 50+ for awhile, but without the Brits (after successful Sealion), the Middle East falls and Italy is a monster. The Germans have ~ 60-70 depending upon splits with the Italians, so they can overspend the Russians. The Russians cannot prevent the NOs for Leningrad, S. Caucasus, and Middle East. With the removal of the UK, it is really a touchy problem for the Allies because very quickly the Axis get equivalent economies, which is usually the kiss of death for the Allies.

I had to pull every stop to prevent SeaLion in this second game with Pierce and not sure how it will play out. (9 inf buy for London + UK1 DOW on Japan) The DOW is reasonable only because the Japanese DOW J1 on the Russians. They have too many land forces tied up north to make a real dent in the south, but US is out of the game for awhile.
