Global 43 trial set up

this makes me wonder again how much the axis advantage in victory conditions affects the games overall balance; that the axis can win with less than a full victory, whereas the allies basically need what amounts to a total military victory.

Guten Abend der Herr,

The battle for Japan was closer than hoped for, and yet it’s a shame that it wasn’t quite enough for the Allies. That would have been an extremely interesting situation that would have been well worth playing out. An extremely impressive result for your first game, without sounding arrogant or anything like that! In our small, illustrious circle of players who play EXP, everyone has their own unique style, and you too have your own very creative moves, as demonstrated in our multiplayer game against Beelee and Trout!
The first game was a lot of fun, and I’m more than ready for a rematch. Let me know if and when you’re ready for a second round .

Best regards,

Panzer
