Jeff28 vs Shin Ji take 2

@BobbaRossa
even without a sacrifice, it changes the pressure dynamic, because the allies have to spread enough to prevent a one board win, as opposed to being able to full tilt crush one side and let the other grow then turn around with an income advantage to kill the other.

@Panzerstahl-Helm Thank you! It was a good game indeed and seeing how you caused me different challenges throughout has given me some new ideas how to try and counter them more effectively/look out for them in the future. I used the opening move of taking the German planes to eliminate the French Med Fleet in G1 to my friends local OOB G40 game and created a very different game for our group. Still a lot to learn with the new unit interactions - especially with the Germans!

I’ve got midterms this week but would be good to start another after they are done. Does next week work to start a new game?
