Playoff BM Giallo(x) vs Sovietishcat(+9)

Skipped the scramble out of Scotland due to odds

@Gorshak @mikawagunichi was checking the threads and saw it happen, I added the notifications bell so I download the saves and look at them every few posts :D

I was curious if you had checked out the strategy discussion or watched the videos, thanks for the notice!

Yeah Russia is quite powerful, back to back turns in the low 70s on income with as much production facilities as they have really makes them scary. The US in the Med might cut Italy’s adventurism short rather quickly too. But Japan is going to need a lot of attention by the US soon. I like how aggresssive you’ve been with Japan in going for the killing blow.

I’ll have to look at round 2 again, I definitely want to make a couple new videos with some refinements as I got a tripod and am getting a new phone with a much better camera.
