My luck streak comes to an end, you blasted me for 3 off South France,
Russians raid on my parade. I guess they have a lot of incentive. -
If I can kill all Russian units in my sphere of influence, then I can play straight from my dream Gray team to my nightmare yellow team!

I hope you weren’t disappointed by the radar tech, it’s not sexy and fun while you’re playing on offense but it is very effective against enemies who have aircraft!
What good is a long range jet if you’re rolling 1s and 2s with radar? Better to have infantry staying at home!
-
The half-hearted return fire in Caucasus is sad to see. Can’t catch a break on killing German planes, they’re too fast to track!🚀🚀
-
And suddenly… I hadn’t thought of this until now… 5 IPC’s for AAA is definitely not over-priced!

Sorry for you, but man it was fun to see all dice rolled on a 4, and smoked a British stack in a very key location
You need to get heavy bombers on your 5 green ones that I can’t shoot down!

Ironically the radar tech is helping more against the Japanese for now, other than maybe stopping some facility bombing.

Thanks for the game! I am resigning. What a wild ride! There’s no way for me to hold both Egypt and London from the German onslaught at this point, and you only need one of them for a victory in Europe condition. Good game sir!
And…of course in local I got heavy bombers with USA when I was clicking around for some moves. 😂😭😭
-
Thank you! I thought you’d make me work a bit more, that you’d want to continue pounding on my inept Japanese play some more.
More comments later, just on a lunch hour right now
Thanks for the fantastic game, I will be proposing 4 IPC tech tokens to players in the future.
-
I can tell you right now, though, even though I shouldn’t have 3 going at a time with my life right now,
I’d like a rematch
-
LOL on USA tech, we were clearly playing in an alternative universe
-
Rematch would be fun, I am going to be out of town for about half of the next 2 weeks so I’ll check back with you around October 1!
