I edited some Germans from Bry to moscow, because I misplaced them. I was convinced this would not have changed your Russian move. If so, you can of cours edit back. Another pointless edit but I still do not want to blunder till the final blow comes:)

okay, lets end the Axis misery at this point. I actually never believed in a chance to win, but I just wanted at least once to see how such a game goes which is supposed to be lost after G1.
The DOW4 with Japan made them weak and I underestimated the sz6 attack so Germans had too much of a burden to carry.

Congratz to the win! Well played! I think you could have killed me faster but you played it very safely. I still hoped somehow to get at least a chance for big battle but you avoided it wisely.

Would you give me a rematch? Preferably same sides and same bid?

Cheers,
Tobias

You got hit by the dice hard early, which can kill the Axis.  But, you did put up a good fight.

Rematch for sure, but let me check with Bold.  He’s been waiting to kill me for some time and I’ve been putting him off.  If he’s busy I’ll come back and hit you up.

GG

[JDOW]

Bold told me that he is busy and that he would hand me over the privilege of playing you first.
Please confirm if you would be happy to do the rematch with same sides and bids.

[Karl7]

got you message.  No problem.  Just set up again and PM me when ready.
