@Sovietishcat
Well you have done really well with Russia , I like how large your air force is! Quite flexible! And now next German turn I might need to pull out if Ukraine … we shall see! And the big one was the turn I went all in on. Using aircraft fir the Moscow attack only to have you fly in those British aircraft … yea I was like fuck it gotta switch now… -
@bretters Yes I was so sure you were going to strafe Moscow with your planes even with the fighter; but I guess the $$ lost would have not been worth it…
-
@Sovietishcat no yea the round i’m talking about… it was already gonna be a close battle (in moscow) so that when you landed the british planes there i knew i would have lost- hence I didn’t attack and instead pulled back and away.
