Sorry about the extra tech die rolls. I reloaded a couple of times. We could have edited if I’d have hit second time around.

I was feeling the result wasn’t in much doubt - except that USSR force heading to Berlin, but when that didn’t get in I thought it was done.

I think you lost this game by not buying enough artillery in Moscow. More art and you could have kept me out of Bryansk for a turn at least on the Moscow drive.

I’d be interested in another game as allies. I feel like I’d play it somewhat differently second time around.

@variance:

want a pair of balance mod games?

Never played balance mod before. Don’t see the need for a lot of the changes in it, although some are good. Mainly SBR.
