map to follow shortly
a good start for japan, though i’m weakest in the north in the region of your russian stack, so that might be interesting

that is a better start than i had a right to expect but it’s now in your court for two of the next big rounds. Your Russia 1 was very effective. Very interested to see which way you go with UK/US. This is where your experience will tell.

Here’s the map

so is egypt empty?
the tank has gone to persia on map, but move not listed
not a problem. just checking. assume map is right

sorry, now i’m confused
the ncm orders and the map show the z9 transport now in z2
is that right?
