G4018L Farmboy Allies vs Karl7 Axis +4

I think I can concede here. Oh man that is painful. I could have avoided that with more careful play and I planned on getting Berlin the following turn. I had no guarantees on that, but I thought my odds were pretty good.

Well played. I will post.

I’ll double check with the USSR first, but I’m pretty sure that is close to impossible.

My panic subsided. I should try for it at least.

But it is definitely a long shot.

assumed no intercept for the bombing because it probably wouldn’t hit the bombers and because you probably want to conserve the fighters. Still my odds for Russia are pretty low.

And obviously if you do want to intercept we can do that and correct after.

I’m assuming its not victory until we get to the next Japan turn right?

I think that is a distinct possibility at this point.
