  • Sorry, but didn’t bring the transport on the map, but two infantry in Egypt means I brought it.

    Very nice. This is the first game I’ve ever seen Italy take Egypt. I also really liked your Japan turn 2 moves. Well played sir.

    Also, when I attacked you in Alexandria, I should have sent you a quick message to see if you wanted to lose the Artillery or the Mech. I obviously chose the Artillery, but you can switch that for the Mech if you’d like.


  • Thank you!

    The Egypt move was 50-50, and I was feeling ok about it because I had the extra unit. Frankly it was pure luck.

    I’ve never done a J2 before so I was curious, and I like it. It suppresses the economy of India and Anzac, somewhat, as it kills those transports before they can move twice. That was actually the entire impetus for the decision.


  • Good point, and thanks for the catch - I’m ok with the Mech as is.

    ANZAC turn 2 buys: 1 Aircraft Carrier=16 IPC’s, saving 2 IPC’s.

    France longs to make fine wines, but looks on Europe with disgrace and a tear of defeat is shed.  :cry: They commence to moving.

  • I am a kind and gentle occupier. The French may make as much wine as they want, and keep it, and drink it. But no sabotage!

    Germany 3 purchases Minor IC, Fighter, Destroyer, 8 Infantry = 54 IPCs.

    I know what that new IC is for. You’re finally building that Schnapps factory in Crete, just like you’ve always dreamed of. Good man.

    Oops, 1 more infantry for me as I spend 30,  :roll:.

    Too much Sake left in the camps impeded my purchasing prowess.

    India - do you scramble? 2 ftrs, 2 tacs, 2 strats.

    RJG2T3JAPcom.AAM


  • In case you don’t see it in the thread, awaiting scramble orders for India, sir.


  • How many IPCs do you think Germany should have to pay to fill their new Grecian factory with schnapps?  :-D

    2 IPCs per trainload? Do my troops on the front get a morale advantage?
