Antholin vs Stalingradski, round 3\.

Thank you sir, your moves really keep me on my toes and thinking on different strategies. Which is a large part of this game, just growing with the challenges presented and learning from them. Your USSR is very well played and I keep looking at them in awe, as this is the first time for Global, that I have seen a Russia so formidable early on. Well played.

Hah, no big deal. I was waiting for you FRANZAC moves. Is Anzac in there?

Wow, that battle for Egypt didn’t go nearly as well as I planned. I used the battle calculator ahead of time, and the odds were much in my favor. Hopefully that will not be a mark of things to come. I used up a lot of resources breaking on the wall of Fighter defense barbarity. Good show sir.
