moved the us destroyer. Forgot it and considering barely anything worthy of note happened…

[Shin-Ji]

I doff my cap to the better player!  I’m going to concede at this point.  Without the ability to drive off the USAers, it’s beyond hopeless for the Axis now.

Congratulations, and best of luck in the playoffs!

Thanks! Mind me asking why you didn’t go after Russia? At some point you already had 70%+ odds on Moscow. Yet you chose to go after Egypt as well as keeping the pressure on Russia.

[Shin-Ji]

Well, that was clearly a bad move on my part.  But my thinking at the time was this - 70% can be a disaster for a major battle, and my odds weren’t going to get any better at the rate things were going.  So I thought if I could slide through Africa and take away those bonuses Russia was getting (and also cut down on UK income) then I’d be set.

Problem was, it took far too long and far too many resources to do that.
