@mike64 Great note, Thanks.

Yea I do want to start another game and have at least something of a strategy guide like: Germany does the usual Barbarossa type thing but maybe has some options in the med.

And I had NO IDEA what to do with Italy so anything would be helpful there.

And Japan is fun actually. And I can sense that the usual play for them is to hide in the upper left - but I had no idea that Russia could reinforce there.

I’ve a few personal crisis at the moment so I would like us to keep playing this game just so that I can learn what to do. Then start a new game in a week or two when hopefully the crisis have been resolved well.

I’m definitely having fun with this game in any case and hope that you will too even though I am a beginner.

I’ll get another turn out soon.

@mike64 Mike i would so like to play again, no bid, i would like to play next game same as this one, as axis, if i lose “hard” as this game, we can go with bid, as this was my first game i am very happy how i played, i did have few opportunity that i missed and fail hard on transport ships and units there, as i did not know rules regarding ship movement and base 2+1 move :) but it was too late in 5 or 6 move :D

So lets try another game same as this one and lets see what will happen :)

I hope you enjoyed the game. Since I’ve never played before, I also want to thank you for this—I really enjoyed it, and thank you for giving me the chance to gain some additional experience.

If you don’t mind, please start a new thread on the forum and tag me—I’ll take the first turn.
I’m going to play this next game much more slowly, so please don’t hold it against me: moves every two or three days. I want to deeply analyze what I’m doing, and I hope you won’t mind. :)

Thanks, Mike.

@The_Good_Captain Calling GG here. Germany is just going to die because of the 1-2 of IT + USA and then the game is over after that.
