L22 Pejon_88 (X) vs. Gamerman01 (A+15), BM4, game #2

@gamerman01 I’m back :)

How are the other games going?

Haha, you’ll probably do great in the play-offs.

@gamerman01 Yup, every UK unit less for a potential counter-attack is what I need to see.

@gamerman01 Agree regarding ME.

Well spoken! And yes, your R4 was really unfavorable, letting me maybe get a stronghold in Ukraine. Will look at it now.

@gamerman01 Yeah it was great! Going from minus Celsius to Swedish summer weather :)

It’s far for you to go to Europe, I understand that. Have you traveled elsewhere?

@gamerman01 Indeed! I’m not good enough to anticipate if it was the right move.

@gamerman01 Are you sure? Would’ve been nice to keep a BB etc. but fighting for Egypt is a primary goal for Italy right now, I think. What’s your thoughts?
