@AndrewAAGamer
Ooops, I completely missed the need to block the route for the German fast movers to take Moscow. A fatal mistake and not one I can recover from, I conceed. I think you were very well placed to win anyway.

Thanks you for the game and opportunity to learn from the experience. Very well played.

I genuinely wish you all the best for your future playoff games.

[AndrewAAGamer]

Thank you for the game! I would agree, especially with your overall strategy to put tremendous pressure on Europe, that this error makes winning the game for the Allies virtually impossible.

You made me think very hard with your strategy. You did a great job of putting massive pressure on Europe - so much that I doubt Germany would ever have been able to take Moscow without the error.
