G18L - variance (allies+24) vs Tizkit

Yeah go for it if you want to do a video.

I had considered you doing that to wipe out anything built off of FIC but overlooked the land.

Still a costly IPC trade for you though… will be interesting to see how that plays out.

Gotta think for bit on the next turn… will hopefully get Italy done later today.

I’d say that could have gone better for me….

What’s interesting is after all that battle score was -5.  I was hoping for something a little more decisive. :)

Oh, also I think you short changed yourself on 3 Russian artillery so I edited those in.
