L2014 Wittmann(Axis) vs Variable(Allied+6)

[Witt]

Morning. Hope you are well.
I cannot play until tomorrow again.
If you meant you think I will get both Egypt and another capital, thank you for your confidence, but I do not believe I can capture Moscow(and after the suicidal Italian attack, the Japs are not definite winners in Egpyt). I thought UK was an easier bet.
I lack the killer instinct.
Keep well.

[variance]

I think you could get Moscow and Egypt but we’ll see.
