I let the computer choose your losses in India.  You may want to change them up.

One plane left in Southern Italy.  So close…  Germany was really getting stretched thin.

In the future as Allies against folks, please do a bid.  Even the lower players on Triple A many times are better than the average person in a gaming group.  Average bids range from 14-20.  If Germany is played correctly, they are almost impossible to stop.  That’s why you see the better players switch to BM.  I’m learning it now.

45 is ludicrously high, lol.

Great job Soviet.  There were a couple of times I thought I was in big trouble!!

What do you normally bid?

I would take that also
