Round: 6

Purchase Units - Americans
            Americans buy 1 artillery, 2 bombers, 3 fighters, 1 infantry, 1 submarine and 1 transport; Remaining resources: 0 PUs;

Combat Move - Americans
            2 infantry moved from Samoa to 51 Sea Zone
            2 infantry and 1 transport moved from 51 Sea Zone to 63 Sea Zone
            2 infantry moved from 63 Sea Zone to New Zealand

            2 fighters moved from 92 Sea Zone to 96 Sea Zone
            2 bombers moved from United Kingdom to Baltic States
            1 bomber moved from United Kingdom to Germany

Well, again - you had a lot of risky battles, and the rest of them went quite ok for you. And you could have retreated.

I’m assuming that you intercept in Germany (1 ftr vs 1 bmb).

Dang, now you got super lucky - your Italian elite-DD killed both of my fighters and lives to tell the tale. Calculator says there’s a three percent chance of that. Not only that I lost two fighters, also retaking Egypt just got a whole lot more difficult (if not impossible).

almost forgot to move your Rostov guy. But since he didn’t kill anyone, I just supposed that he went MIA and showed up again in Ukraine some point later (you should consider having those guys executed for cowardice).

Things are actually still a lot tighter in the east than I thought… My build may have been a bit optimistic. I’d say this is one of the most interesting games we ever had.

sure, I’m ok with the edits (even though it irks me that you make my landing in Normandy more difficult; I’ll have to see if its still worth it)
