my first roll sucked, so I got hammered…  :-P

GG I’ll post.

[666]

yeah, the first turn on those big battles is so important! good game

[Karl7]

I need to rethink my Allies game against good players.

The “pull back, build up, then squeeze” strategy doesn’t work against players like you who play the long game, especially with Japan.
