That makes sense.
I just think this way because the first two times I played this game I found the Axis at a huge disadvantage with almost no plausible way to win.
Your play is making me rethink that.

Edited Kiel’s mines back to Germany.
Also, I had a good idea and EDITED all my German tanks have taken “1 hit” each. That way, if someone attacks a territory with defending tanks, they’re already just “1 hit” units until the start of the next turn.
