[boldfresh]

wow.  going after your battleship in z14 created a huge swing.  i lose the tranny, inf, AA AND you get to keep norway another turn, another 6 ipc swing.  AND you will either get to keep the sub or have me risk an attack with a lone destroyer…

pretty sweet!

[boldfresh]

hey manstein, i’m gonna go back to my original map, with the fighter landing in ukraine.

sorry, but it doesn’t really affect japan i guess…  :|
