To my surprise I was faster on the desert than my opp and managed to clear almost everything which was quite close to the road. The desert was divided, we never discovered the 2nd, northern part. I think I won only bc I got lucky with the first screen of the desert, where I picked the Air and Earth Book in the same turn (125). Control gave me the chance to clear things fast, open up another zone and get some more army and stats.
On 134 I attacked Kyrre with overwhelming advantage but the opp didn't want to give up (I think the word "give up" doesn't exist in Vietnamese ;-) ). Finally on 144 after a series of battles (scouts + Kyrre + Mullich), I eventually won.
Thanks for the game!
I speak English, Polish, French, Spanish, a little German, but not Russian...
