Seth - good game to you too. As you see - I tend to play, it seems, too timid as the Axis in order to knock out the Allies - but, in this case I guess it worked.

Let’s go with game 3 - I’ll bid 11.

Ping…

Being sneaky, are we? :)

I think I have been Axis twice if I recall.

No Tech is fine. And yes, one unit per territory is also reasonable. Yes - I had a very fortunate I1 to be sure…and that snowballed…
