Good game Aequitas.

It was a lot of fun.  I agree early on I was trying to find a foothold and keep from dropping too much either way.  I still have no luck with holding Russia, or even maintaining a presence after they fall as some do.  By 11, yeah I think I had a stable position with a stable reinforcement to Europe from America that would have cost a lot to break up.  Europe is definitely the harder side of the board for me it seems.  I usually end up losing Egypt even if I clear out Asia…

Thank you very much for the game.

Sincerely,
Snigg
