I rearranged my fts, so I had one in Germany. If I had used the ones I had better, I could have done this. I have a fussy Raf on my knee. It is “cheating”, but I would have done properly, if I was mot rushing . Excuse my impropriety!

I should have sent the Berlin one to Normandy, not SD France. Then would have been ok. I am sure you have no complaints!

You are losing.

Annoying you can still buy 6 units . I cannot break through, as I can only make 6 plus a few Mech in Berlin.
I think I need to attack with Japan, if I cannot win with them . Is annoyingly frustrating, as Japan is holding very well. Do not want to open the floodgates giving you unnecessary income and units. I lack the killer instinct: knowing when one side is close to the victory and relinquishing the other Axis half.

I think it was to stop the Axis winning only on one board. That makes sense in OOB rules.
Not sure the Sllies need more help with this Balanced one.
