thanks for the map tip
luck balances out a bit
let’s see how J1 goes. Need to update my board with your far east ncms and then it should follow fairly quickly.

[Manstein]

also I have just noticed that I did not place my bomber and artillery for Germany on the map. Apologies. Don’t think it changes anything. Here’s the updated map.
