[nerquen]

you keep suggesting that trading German air units with allied air units in 1:1 is not a good idea for Axis. Why is this so, I don’t see it yet?

your blockers in Mediterranean see fight well… they all hit before they died.

[boldfresh]

the axis cannot afford to trade units 1:1 with the allies - period.  especially early.

[nerquen]

bump

[boldfresh]

Dang I DID NOT realize it was my turn here.  I have a lot of games and they are hard to follow and they drop through the pages so fast.  Unless you are TRYING to win by bumping me how about you give me friendy nudges reminding me it is my turn.

On the other hand I think you have realized your only chance to beat me is by bumping me since you have done it at exactly 72 hrs.  So I will make sure I make this the number one game I am following and crush you.  So thanks.
