@bmnielsen:

Lol I think I was still asleep when I made my moves this morning, they were terrible in both of my games :)

I concede, thanks for an entertaining game. I’ll post to the results topic when I’m on my computer.

if you want to adjust your US/UK noncoms and continue the game i’m certainly up for doing so (figured you didn’t see that the italian bombers could reach z79).  i would have to defend egypt of course, but I think it is pretty much impossible to stop europe victory in 2 or 3 more moves.

either way, thanks for the game. you are a very good player and very enjoyable to play.

@bmnielsen:

Thanks for the offer, but I agree that the outlook is pretty hopeless anyway.

I’ve got a couple of other games going already, but I’d love a rematch later in the season!

agreed - good luck until then!
