@Avner I do need to know to establish a best move for the Germans

-9.5 ist schon eine seltene Nummer. Immerhin “nur” in Burma und nicht in London/Moskau

Ich schaue am Abend oder morgen rein.

If you have a free time window at around your US lunch time, I could ask for the OOL round by round.

@Gorshak

I do not see a path back to victory and am conceding. Congratulations on a game well played.
