1940.2 - Witt & PP Axis vs Colt & FMErwinRommel Allies (+25)

[FMErwinRommel]

Keep building those AA guns, I bought stock in Rheinmetall at the beginning of the U.S. bomber campaign.  You’ve built 17 AA in the past 5 turns, that’s almost Ger’s entire annual income for a year.

[Private-Panic]

They are cheaper than America’s planes!!!

Stayed up too late again and needed some edits.  You must have noticed marti’s hours ago but no save file.  There are so many icons in Iraq, that they cover up Persia.  U.S. meant to attack Persia, but moved to NCM.  So I opened a second version and performed combat for Persia and you can see the marti’s.  Then I edited that into the original save game.  Also edited in China turn, U.S. planes in China that should have moved in NCM.  This game is getting interested but complicated.  Japanese strike back nicely while protecting their tt.  ANZ got depleted and Witt wisely took advantage, forcing U.S. to build in Pacific.

[Witt]

Thank you . I like praise .

[FMErwinRommel]

Mixed dice, no AA hits against Amer bombing raids, but dice in naval battles perverse.  Ger dd didn’t return fire where U.S. had subs to take hit.  But Ital dd returned fire where no subs to take hits, so I lost a bmber.  Japan down to 29.

Hi Colt. I am afraid we cannot break down Ed’s stubborn defence. Looks like your side won after all.
I blame Adam, of course.

Then, nice work, Ed! I thought this was a sure thing, but clearly you have turn the tables to give Allies a chance again

[FMErwinRommel]

Didn’t see Italy posted turn or other chat until now.  Verizon stopped servicing its email accounts, so I switched to AOL and it is putting some email notifications directly into trash, not inbox.  Something to do with multiple receiving devices, i.e., cell phones and computer.  I noticed that Italy might invade Gib and planned on putting ftrs there, but either noticed after my turn was posted or forgot about it.  Bummer, its easier to reinforce than recapture. Thanks for the compliments guys.  Just wait for more excitement from the allies.
