Did not see any point in sacrificing an Italian inf and a fighter (or two) for a likely outcome of 1 hit. Three hits, which would have helped seemed extremely unlikely.

Thanks for tremendously interesting game. The relentless Ally pressure required a high level of problem solving. The conquest of Germany made it exponentially more so.

@ArtofWar1947 Thanks to you as well. Our games certainly have had some very unique board states.
