Yeah, that was a mistake, you were even winning sometimes this game, your strategy has improved a lot, this game could have been yours, but now with 64, 66 and 34 IPCs for the Axis it is difficult for you to win. I can continue if you wish.

In case you withdraw, this defeat would not be recorded in the league until you have completed 13 games or more.

You shall now play others, allthough I am Tier 3, I have many initial defeats when did not know the rules very well, I think you can beat with no issues Tier-2,3 and 4 players. I am beating many of them consistently now and consistently loosing to Tier 1  :-D

Thanks for another good game.
