[Antholin]

You've done a great job kicking the snot out of China.

I think I might have saved Egypt for a turn...

I hate China with a very strong passion, and I want to totally obliterate them. But, I realize that it is near impossible due to the Allies intervening and they can crop up anywhere. Reminds me of my black plague histories.   

I think you might be able to save Egypt for a while as well. And for the life of me I cannot fathom why I didn't place my German Fighter & Tac in South Italy instead of SZ95. It truly astounds me how I often look over these, at the time minute details, that come up with profound differences later on. Oh well, eventually that will impact me.

Well, good game so far and I am very much looking forward to the weekend moves. Until then.

[Stalingradski]

I think those small details become fantastic learning opportunities, when you take the long view. I think you are quickly becoming a formidable opponent, and all it takes is seeing situational play repeatedly, if you have the desire to be skilled at this game, which you do.

I say that realizing that I have many, many more lumps to take and lessons to learn...

I'm looking forward to us getting back into the tournament and taking it out on others...   

[Antholin]

Thank you sir, your moves really keep me on my toes and thinking on different strategies. Which is a large part of this game, just growing with the challenges presented and learning from them. Your USSR is very well played and I keep looking at them in awe, as this is the first time for Global, that I have seen a Russia so formidable early on. Well played.
