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.

Good game! It’s rare that I enjoy the endgame, but this one was quite interesting after London fell and we were fighting over it as well as Egypt, Gibraltar, Russia and the Middle East. Of course, the fact that you got diced vs London was a factor in making the endgame interesting  :lol:.

You are a very good player, and your bomber strategy is only a part of your skill. You don’t need it to win in my opinion.

[bmnielsen]

Thanks. Yeah, I don’t think the bomber strat is a game-breaker, but I like it since it allows for more variation in the European axis game, with London and the middle-east always in play. Plus it’s nowhere near optimized yet, this game especially has given me a few ideas.
