I think I’m just cooked in this one. I keep getting terrible dice in all the battles that are actually important to me

I will be travelling for next week, maybe not able to do any turn.

@pacifiersboard Thanks for letting me know. No worries and have a good trip.
I will probably have my next turn done either in the next hour or this evening.

@pacifiersboard do you mind if I adjust the UK buy in India and replace the transport with 2 inf. I miscounted your air range in 45
-
@pacifiersboard and I would then move the destroyer back a space

@pacifiersboard UK6.tsvg reposted with the edit.

@pacifiersboard not at a computer but if you let know the situation I can try to respond.
-
I attacked Moscow with a single tank that hit. Reasonable choice can be aa gun, inf or bomber (US or UK); odds for possible German assault are hardly affected and slightly over 60% with heavy TUV loss in case I should attack. So for the actual situation it depends a bit on your expectation for me to attack or delay: do I want to prepare the former or just trade a tank for a bomber? :-)
-
no other Italian combat moves, bought 2inf, 1 fighter to strengthen Rome
-
@pacifiersboard I thought that might be it. I’ll improve your odds slightly and lose one inf.

Looking forward to seeing what happens on Germany’s turn.

@pacifiersboard and note I edited an anzac move and put a fig from the US carrier on Queenland. Did it after the turn though so it doesn’t show up in the summary.

@pacifiersboard not yet
-
@farmboy almost certainly if you go a second round but it will depend on the dice too.
-
-
@pacifiersboard yep, lose the bombers.

@pacifiersboard phew!
