I think we can stop here. There is no way I can turn this around. Well played. Interesting how one single action could change the tide of the game.

You want to play another one on this map?

I’ll play the axis again. I need to figure out a plan how to play the allies on this map, and maybe I can get inspired from your allied play first.
