[Cpt. John Miller]

Just want to ensure you want AA gun first in burma, I attacked 3 INf 2 art and hit 1 on first rd of combat?? I know you like to leave one over so I can not retreat sometimes as well so figured I would ask.

[Cpt. John Miller]

Ill assume AA first for now and we can re roll later if necessary. Dont think the outcome would sway much either way!

Great!  You pay attention - I like that.
I’ll let you know as soon as I look the moves over.  I think I can move Italy soon after dinner, here.

[gamerman01]

I really value your insightful comments on my play.  This is only my 5th Axis game in a year, while I’ve played 19 as Allies.  I must say, I am quite pleased at my progress.  It helps that I have played against some very excellent Axis players and have learned from them.  One of the great things about league play.  No doubt this game will help you a lot in the future as well.

[gamerman01]

Huge super sub hit in 92!  Always nice when you actually roll something that would have been a miss before and is now a hit, and actually makes a difference.

You didn’t retreat, so of course I’m fine!  Got lucky, too.

I figure if you give your opponent max defense (by taking weakest units off first) and then give them a chance to change it later, then you don’t have to wait.  You gave me max benefit since you did not retreat, so that was well handled and I’m glad you didn’t wait.

Change buy…
Buy another DD instead of INF, ART, and 1 IPC

Not sure which zone you mean, but it doesn’t matter

Yes!  Italy turn had nothing to do with that and UK just went right before that, so that’s perfectly fine

I had to double check the rules, but Germany does not even get the NO if Italy takes Leningrad, Moscow, or Stalingrad.  And, of course, there’s the air base that can hit Persia with rockets!  :evil:
