Fourth consecutive USA turn that a bomber was shot down by AA. That doesn’t work for me.
Move the other destroyer from 2 to 7 also
Some computer problems… won’t have access to it before next week, so you won’t have news for me before…

All right, that’s enough. Seems like the right time to resign.
Very well played - it will be interesting to see how many consecutive tournaments you can win!
Thx. The beginning of the game was really tough in the Pacific. As you said, the battle of Ukraine of R2 was a very big problem, and I guess a good part of the game has been played there. I have no idea if making this attack was good or not, since after all you had the possibility to retreat which kind of make up the lower odds ; but I believe you made a big mistake by rolling a second turn there ; of course, you were not supposed to be diced like that, and that’s really unlucky ; but after the first turn you had no more odds of winning, and in average you had nothing really nice to win…
After that, I guess you needed to invest towards Europa with the US, which enabled Japan to overcome them in the Pacific, and when you switched from Pacific to Europa, I was quite confident with the game. Defense in Europa was tough too, but I believe that without mistake on my part, you did not have real odds to overcome the axis in this area (since I had Caucasus, which was locking Russia outside of this fight).
Good game overall ; I think that as usual in a game with a good level on both sides, minor details made the difference.

Well said - thank you
Maybe we will meet again - in the World Cup tournament

It was a gamble. Against the best player on the site I wanted to take a shot when I could. If I get lucky it is a big advantage to me. It backfired, and the only way I could get back into the game again is if you let me, and you didn’t. Again, very well played
