Hey Mike,

Hope you having a good weekend. Sorry for the delay but I was playing an actual boardgame yesterday A lord of the Rings thing.

For me to make any decent long term challenge for you I would like to suggest that you speak to me about your strategy and comment on mine. These are all “practice” until I actually learn it. Otherwise I might not get to the point of actually enjoying the game.

In this game I am trying to just brute force a Barbarossa-type operation but have no clue after this.

Oh and I HIGHLY recommend that you start playing the G40 EXPANSION UHD Boxes. In fact, I would suggest that we not wait and start one now! I plan to get good and go to the Denmark Tournament this coming fall.

Given your skill and experience I am positive that you will enjoy this far more complex game. There are many new units and much historical realism and those new units DRAMATICALLY increase the depth of strategy and play.
