@majikforce:

More lone inf killing planes.  Love it! :|

Yeah, my foot soldiers hit very well against planes in this game.

Uhh, some slaughter was going on according the Marti dice:D

Jason,

thanks a lot for the kind words, very interesting game. I can imagine it as at least satisfying to have Japan down and I can admit that it does not feel well.

However, I believe the outcome was inevitable regardless whether you had continued to siege Tokyo or grab all Japanese territory.

The decisive elements took place in the first 6 turns. Germans had a bumpy start but still managed to capture Moscow in turn 6 already without making any concessions. From there it was inevitable that the Germans soon will knock with overwhelming force at the doors of Egypt. As secure as it was in GoT Season 1 EP 1 that the white walkers will sooner or later come to the wall with overwhelming force:-)

So this game was a race against the Clock with the Germans having an early start. If everything goes 1-3 turns slower such games can go into a different direction and the Germans cannot hold against all Allies without Japan.

All of success for your remaining games and I am happy to start a rematch when the time allows it.

Best regards,
Tobias
