Use this second save.

[cyanight]

I concede, GG.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

Wow, I didn’t think that I could beat the legendary Cyanight.  I think that I will attribute it to good dice rolling since your skill is significantly above mine.  Perhaps a rematch next season, switching sides with the same bid?

[cyanight]

Legendary, lol… I must say I am honored you would think that.

Allies are always very touch and go. I  started off bad with a poor scramble in SZ110 followed by a huge blunder by attacking Italy’s navy.  In hindsight I think I should made some different moves there.

You played a great game and well deserved the victory. Good Luck in your future games :)

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

I am still trying to master Allies myself.  The strategy is much more difficult.  I tend to spend too much or too little in the Pacific to start the game and either fail in Europe or get crushed by Japan.  Finding a way to contain Germany is quite tough.  Once they get Egypt, life is miserable for the Allies.
