Yes, it was fun. My luck early with the dice made a significant difference I think too. Thanks for the game!

If you want a rematch and to switch sides, just let me know. I can’t start right away but should be able to in a few days.

That is fine too. I actually prefer playing the allies in any case.

Also, while I’ve managed to get into tier E, its a relatively small sample of games I’ve played so far. I wouldn’t be surprised if I drop a ranking after a few more games.
I don’t think I have been more lucky than my opponents overall but I have been more lucky when it mattered more. Even in this game, I think our luck came close to evening out but I was lucky when it mattered more (G1 and then that last battle for Normandy).
