Yay! Welcome back.

Thank you. And sorry again for the long break, has been a hectic last few days. And I’ve still got to post with Infrastructure.
-
Please use this map, as I actually have 3 Destroyers in SZ101, not 2. Thanks.

ANZAC turn 5 buys: 1 Infantry & 2 Subs=15 IPC’s.
Moves around & collects 15 IPC’s.
France had plans of moving, and then realized there is nowhere of note to move to. The French continues to weep at loss of fine wine country.

I will happily share some wine from the vinyards… after the war!

Wow, look at that giant Moscow blunder. I forgot how much fun it is to play as the Allies. I believe I’ll go home after and drink myself into a stupor. Perhaps alcohol will enlighten me to tactics of the Eastern front for the Allies. Between you and Steve, I have now lost two capitals in Europe. Yay.
-
It is the can opener effect of the Italian/German mechanized forces. This is our second practice game, sir! I think you’re learning the game at an exponential rate, against experienced and decent players. I wish I could have a drink with you!
If you’d like to stop now, shake it off, and start our first official game with you as the Axis, I’m all for it.
-
Also - I’m up for analysis of this game anytime. I have some thoughts.
-
No, no. I was just venting, and very mad at myself for leaving Moscow open. I thought I left enough forces there, but I missed the Mechs.
Thank you for being a good sport, I just had to vent a little and I certainly wasn’t mad at you. I really want to keep playing, as I am learning quite a bit. And I’m actually beginning to enjoy playing as the Allies. Thanks again.
-
Understood re: venting. I spent two straight hours (with the help of a fair amount of vodka) making Steve miserable last time he was here… the luck was killing me, but worse, I left Egypt open to Germany on G4… ugh. So early to make such a mistake. In A&A, I usually find that my best learned lessons tend to be fatal.
And, I vowed to never harangue him like that again… until next time! :evil:
On to Moscow -

Well, at least Belarus is giving your combined forces a bloody good kicking. :-P I’m proud of them.
