Well done, can’t get another VC.

I’ll post

[wheatbeer]

Thanks Karl … this was quite the brawl.

Germany had more inertia than I thought several turns back … but still the Russian/American advance freaked me out! I thought Stalingrad or Moscow might be another big battle.

[Karl7]

yeah a tough one.

Not sure what I would have done differently there… maybe not spread out w/Russia or maybe should have taken a stand and tried to whittle you down in Moscow…

[wheatbeer]

Even with the benefit of hindsight, it’s hard to say.

Throughout the last half of this game, I was paranoid you’d switch gears and try to capture Tokyo (maybe swing back some Atlantic transports). I never gamed it out to see how hard that would be though.

oh wow, I forgot about that rule!

ha, that would’ve been hard.  too easy to see coming, but maybe it would’ve been possible.

[wheatbeer]

If you want to switch sides and play a game 4, just let me know  :-)

No rush though, we really burned through this one (by online standards).

[Karl7]

ok, I will get it going soon, prob tomorrow.
