Two notes:

1.) I edited the UK Tank from Egypt -> Syria (instead of going to Libya). That was a miss-click on my end that I didn’t notice until partway through the American turn.

2.) To quote something George Lucas said about the Star Wars Prequels: “I may have gone a bit far in a few places.”

@The_Good_Captain said in TGC (Germans) vs Doman (Allies), Original Europe:

G6.tsvg the reason I left one inf behind was the 50% chance you remove one of my tanks with that Russian tank in the Caucasus. I sacked a one attacker to ensure the survival of a three attacker.

All good I get it.

On to the next game. Need to try the same playbook (for the most part) with the Ukraine bid before throwing in the towel on this version.

I skipped intercept in Japan due to odds. I think coming up to the Carolines was the right call overall, but you’re definitely in a tight spot. KJF is still such a strong strategy.

Even though you have great odds to kill my stack on Wake, it’s costly, and keeps the DEI in UK Pacific hands for yet another turn. Andif you ignore it, it’s like a dagger in the back.
