So now they decide to start being average…

I didn’t see your post before taking the casualties so just edit to whatever you like. Not going to make a difference now anyway :)

You were planning on doing both Russia and Egypt on Germany’s turn?

[bmnielsen]

I still am! :P

[Adam514]

@bmnielsen:

I still am! :P

Hahaha did it quickly and at best you have 1% on Egypt and 6% on Russia?

[bmnielsen]

Never said it was realistic :)

In reality Russia doesn’t matter now though, I needed to take Egypt before the US fighters could get there, and that’s not going to happen now. But hey, may as well try my 1%

Yeah I figured Egypt was the most important target, my greed almost made me take S Africa with that UK mech.

Alright, I’m obviously going to throw in the towel now, hehe.

Thanks for the game, was a fun one. I had a few rounds there where I just made some really boneheaded decisions, especially with Japan, and you punished me well for them.
