I will do this turn tomorrow (for better or worse).

I agree this scenario is mind-boggling … I was much more confident 3 or 4 turns ago. Japan seems strong enough to make up the difference for my gains.

I guess if you’re sure time isn’t a factor, I’ll may sleep on it.

I have been catching up from the holiday weekend in my other matches, but none of them require this kind of thought yet.

I’ve also never held Rome like this before (except maybe in a game that was already conclusively won, and this definitely is far from won).

I forgot to post the US. Only attacks were SBR. 3/6 of my bombers got shot down  :|

No UK dice have been rolled yet. I want to add an SBR of Slovakia from SITA (and hopefully not have another aa casualty).

Rolling the SBR here since I figure you probably won’t object since no dice are rolled.

Slovakia aa

Rolls: 1@1; Total Hits: 01@1: (5)

if aa misses, damage roll

Rolls: 1@6; Total Hits: 11@6: (4)
+2

6 damage to Slovakian minor

Sorry I clicked past … got flustered after losing half my American bombers to aa fire.
