crash and burn  :cry:

Well my friend, I can see the writing on the wall. I failed in an attempt at taking UK, followed by positioning the Japanese way out of position and losing the mainland, and the icing on the cake, failed at taking Normandy again. I probably did that one round too early. Well played and good victory!

I will post the victory for you. If I remember correctly, we are swapping sides with the same bid? If so, I will take a sub in 98 and an infantry in New Guinea.

If not swapping sides, then I will take the Axis for round 2 as well!  8-)

Well thank you for the compliment sir, but I clearly got outfoxed!
