@variance:

yeah I’m going to call this one quits.  you win.

Thanks. You had some really good ideas. Your use of Japanese bombers was quite clever, but you rushed Russia. You would have had Russia in a couple more turns without losing any air and with that German Air you could have protected Europe, while you could prepare to grab SA and then perhaps ultimately Egypt.

Anyways rematch me as axis and you as allies. Same conditions?

[variance]

I’m going to pass.  I keep losing games.  thanks though.

[Guest]

NP. It might help if you take a couple of weeks of and simply watch games of tier 1 players.

[variance]

I’m not really that into it.
