@Adam514 @pacifiersboard

I’ve been checking in on this game periodically and it looks like its been an amazing one. Fun to watch!

[pacifiersboard]

@farmboy

yeah, it was. Finally I had been that inebriate by releasing Middle East (for a moment) that I was blind to the new area of focus rising … still when @Adam514 was allowing to fix even non-combat movement and I should not have removed RAF from Europe. I mean the mistake had already taken place at US turn when I didn’t consider soberly and e.g. a harbor would have helped. Or am I wrong and German victory has been inevitable for a long time in spite of overall convenient dice?

@pacifiersboard I’ll save most of my comments for after the game is done. But I will say that I don’t think German victory has been inevitable. Adam has a good chance of winning this next turn, as I’m sure you can see, but if he doesn’t, the long game definitely favours you.

[Adam514]

@pacifiersboard I had made an edit to put the German stack in Yugoslavia (2nd post), can you use that one to make your Russian move?

[pacifiersboard]

@Adam514

oh, sure - didn’t realise

My blundering last round has been quite frustrating as you can tell. And I cannot see more than how to maybe delay your victory so I should take a break of a week I feel.

[Adam514]

@pacifiersboard As you wish.

[farmboy]

@Adam514 @pacifiersboard I’ll just note that the winner of my game with GD plays the winner here and we are no where close to the finish line. So you guys will have lots of time.
