OK, good game.

I think the turning point was when you sent so many resources to conquer Africa and the Mid-East after you broke through Egypt.  Would have been interesting to see how it would have turned out if you had only sent a minimal force and kept everyone else in the Med / Europe.  Just my thoughts.  I was certainly running scared when I had to abandon Egypt though.

I think I need a little bit of a break to be honest (plus I still have a game against JWW to finish), but I would still be game for that rematch if you are.  Maybe in a couple of weeks?
