Good luck in the losers bracket. maybe try to not build so many art, trade territories with infantries and planes and only position a lot of units in front of a lot of your enemies units if you are absoutely certain we won’t be able to kill them effectively. Espacially don’t put planes where they can be killed.
I exchange I’ll try to remember to look out for sneaky subsurviving strategies that may cost me a lot of transports if I don’t think about my order of loss.
