Agree. You could have won this game very clearly, but in my view at this point was difficult (I am not saying it was not possible) even with a win (not by large difference of course) in this combat.

I liked your allies a lot here (you reminded me that you have a very good allies) and I think with a win the first time you fought vs Japan in Java, I would have lost for sure. The outcome from that -87 was very bad for you however, because with efficient moves from Phi to Java and back to save my transports and kill yours I can still resist long in Pacific (until round 14/15 I believe) and that forces you to invest all US in Pacific too many turns. As a consecuence, germany is free from Atlantic pressure and is producing more than double than russians for the russian front each turn, so holding Egypt (easy for germans as you loose your air force in Irak, even with a win) puts allies in a very compromised position re europe VCs in 3/4 turns due to difficulties to help russia for its allies. I may be wrong, but it is how I see things.

Good pair of games Karl, congrats. My dice were definatelly better in both. Happy to offer you revenge in 2019 league soon.
