@Adam514 @pacifiersboard

I’ve been checking in on this game periodically and it looks like its been an amazing one. Fun to watch!

@farmboy

yeah, it was. Finally I had been that inebriate by releasing Middle East (for a moment) that I was blind to the new area of focus rising … still when @Adam514 was allowing to fix even non-combat movement and I should not have removed RAF from Europe. I mean the mistake had already taken place at US turn when I didn’t consider soberly and e.g. a harbor would have helped. Or am I wrong and German victory has been inevitable for a long time in spite of overall convenient dice?

@pacifiersboard I’ll save most of my comments for after the game is done. But I will say that I don’t think German victory has been inevitable. Adam has a good chance of winning this next turn, as I’m sure you can see, but if he doesn’t, the long game definitely favours you.
