attack on Kiangsu failed. So I will concede here. Thanks so much for the game. It was quite the education on playing A&A Global and really enjoyable. I’d love to do it again in the future.

[farmboy]

Also, interested in any thoughts you had on the game.

Early on I didn’t expect such a quick take down of UK pacific and thought I should have been able to postpone it by a turn or 2 had I played better.

I made an error with Russia in turn 1 by moving stacks of inf to Karelia and Bessarabia. I didn’t read the map well and didn’t think you were in a position to bring as much airpower into it as you could. But I thought that although a mistake, this might have worked out for me. You pulled your airforce East and I could build transports by UK safely, allowing me to land in Normandy a turn sooner.

I wish I had done more earlier to contain Italy’s income. I thought that really made the difference in Western Europe.

At the end I thought I could take Hong Kong or Shanghai back, delaying your pacific victory, and hoping that the economic advantage would turn it around for me. Obviously I couldn’t take either, and I’m not sure that I could have held them long enough even if I did. I needed at least two more turns before the US could retake Hawaii.

Anyway, thanks again.

[Cow]

Yeah I am very aggressive with Japan, if India presents itself early I always take it.
