Good move in Iraq.

You win.

I;ll post.

[wheatbeer]

Thanks for playing again Karl. If you would like a revenge match sometime later this season, I’d take the Allies against you at +16.

Maybe the voodoo is just between my Axis and your Allies.

Yeah, it was fun.  I think I would have had a better chance if I had not moved up with the USSR and then latte kept them in smolensk

[wheatbeer]

Aside for SZ20 perhaps, you played the Pacific better than the majority of my opponents. Japan probably could rebound a little bit after shooing away your subs … but the DEI were still lost.

Just out of curiosity was SZ20 an intentional bait to kill Japanese planes? Or at least keep them on the Pacific map?

[Karl7]

Hmm, I think by then I knew the game was lost.  If I had the USSR another 2 or 3 turns, I think I may have been able to pull this off, or make it close. (Instead of Egypt, I thought you may do a blitz of the UK)

So, I think my move in 20 was desperation.    I also probably underestimated your willingness to lose your planes.  :lol:
