@farmboy Can’t believe how bad I played this game. Too many things going on at the moment to even try and get back into this one. The dice didn’t help either. GL in the playoffs. (really though I’m not this bad , not saying I would of won but I definitely can put on a better showing than this) GG I’ll post.

@majikforce gg! The dice really didn’t give you much of a chance, and I can appreciate how frustrating that is.
Apart from the dice, I thought there were two key mistakes made. The first was your attack on the Soviets in China in round 2. You were almost certain to win, but it was almost certainly also going to be too heavy cost to Japanese air. And that gave the US too much room to operate in the pacific. The other was that you moved too much german air east to soon. You may have needed to do so earlier to guarantee your hold on Bryansk, but leaving them gave the allies more room to maneuver and allowed me to secure Normandy sooner.
Can certainly play a rematch down the road.
