That was just dice, but I figured why not go for it.

I should go “more Cow bell!” as Japan and quit playing that side so conservatively.  Japan has 6 VC, I don’t see a way to retake any of them.

If you like, we can switch sides and start another game.

Have to play them to get experience.  I found Japan and UK are the two countries hardest to play well and take the longest to learn.  On the other hand, I’m still bad at playing Russia too.  I’ll check tomorrow and look for a new game thread.
