13L-G40, UnknownSoldier (Axis) vs. PGMatt (Allies+12), no tech, Game 2

[Seador]

This game is winding down.  I was really struggling with the US move on both boards.  Liberate Egypt or attack the italian stack before Germany can reenforce…attack China to take a VC or retreat?  Tough calls.

Anyways, the board is yours again.

Crazy long game, but I have known the end was coming for awhile.  I’m pretty happy to call it now, I don’t think I have a lot left to learn in Europe from this game, and Pacific, where I expect you’ll get the win is only a matter of time.

Good game!
