Thank you!

I was surprised to see that you think such early events (Belgium battle and not triggering the Russian Revolution) ultimately decided the game.

You certainly put up a tough defense in the Ottoman Empire, and I made a big mistake in delaying that British attack on Mesopotamia (I forgot that tanks essentially increase your power by 6).

Before I remembered the advantage tanks gave to the British, I was so sure that I was going to lose. You had so many fighters in the Middle East and it looked like I could never break through. Even that good dice in Belgium didn’t completely assuage my concerns until that successful attack in Mesopotamia.

That Belgian dice was painful.

I really thought this game would last until to August.

Good game. Maybe we can play The Good Captain’s D-Day mod?
