@The_Good_Captain

Yeah, but I screwed up big time on our first game. I don’t remember either exactly, but now that I think about it our first one was under 20 rounds, could’ve been 17 though.

@mcclellansGhost

One thing I like to do as well is to have a transport or two in sea zone 8, then ferry forces from the US directly to Ireland (it only takes 1 turn for ships to move from there), then onwards to Picardy or Brest (the transports in sea zone 8 bridging). They can also move into sea zone 9 and desposit them in Belgium depending on the situation.

@The_Good_Captain Moscow must be recaptured. Making it contested is not good enough.

@The_Good_Captain Yep. I think we’re all in agreement about that. :)

@Tamer-of-Beasts

Still impressive. Still struggling to beat him as the Allies.

@SuperbattleshipYamato

I meant “with”, not “wit”, sorry about that.

@the_good_captain

You up for another game?

@krieghund

So I’m wrong. Oh well.

@the_good_captain

Oh wait, you set up another thread! Sorry about that.

Yesssssssssss!!! Finallyyyyyyy!!!

I’m lying, but I’ll quote Indiana Jones anyway:

“I’ve been looking for this all my life.”

Great series of videos!

@krieghund

Yeah, but in reality it wouldn’t make any sense.

Anyhow, it’s good to clarify.
