I was hoping/planning on squeezing out a win in russia with 2-3 units left. As we say in the aviation business “better lucky than good”. Nobody can win without the dice…

@Colonel_Sanders @CaptainNapalm

Apologies for that. It was not my intention to play “chicken” with the Russian capital by creating a game ending event on turn 3. Really silly oversight on my part.

I definitely offer a rematch if you guys want it. Otherwise, thanks for the game!

I think this was/is a popular house rule. I don’t know any of the core series where this is part of the rule set. If you do find this in a manual though, do let me know. I really like all the little differences between the games.

I’m up for a rematch
