Cpt Walker (Axis) v. Mallery (Allies) 42.2

@captain:

I had to take India… I was tired of the small attacks coming from there.

I was too aggressive in the Burma attack (when you then countered killing my 2inf/5art….I doubt I’m going to take Germany.)

I also only took your inf.  I figured you may still want your AA for now and your Bombers.

I had to do the math on it…should have abused Italy a little better, but I was running out of options.  Once India is gone, you can’t really stop Japan unless Germany falls.  So it comes down to whether you want the Axis again or not.  It would have taken a pretty stack just to get close to Russia though!  Hail Vodka!
