@Private:

Sorry - forgot to move the AA guns, so edited them into the Caucasus.

Also triple A wanted me to place 1 infantry - presumably left over from a previous go, which it should not have been. So I placed it and then edited it out so as to delete it.

BTW - saw the failed G attack on Normandy. That’s the ticket! :wink:

Over to Nippo Elrood.

Elrood sorry for lack of reply to IM - makes sense and I’m pleased to announce I was already considering refocusing so of my air so obviously I’m still not too fair off being tactically sound!

Will take Italy’s go now.

[Elrood]

Just another hint:

Italy is probably pretty save already…

1. May be move some Infantry to Northern Italy, to help out Germany in Europe
2. build Mech Inf instead -> to quickly reach Normandy etc.
-> That way you can make use of you Italian Air Planes… as Germany has more important stuff on its plate right now…

;-)

[Private-Panic]

Am I waiting for an Italian edit or doing ANZAC?

[Elrood]

I just edited my suggestion.

1. It can be easily remedied next turn, as the edit does not have immediate effect on the possible battles this turn, but gives Italy some options in coming turns (hopefully)
2. should have no effect on either Anzac or France decisions.

[Elrood]

@Elrood:

2. should have no effect on either Anzac or France decisions.

so, if Credulous has serious issues with my bold edit…  :oops: he can edit back in G15, ok?

[Witt]

Is fine.
Do Anzac, PP.

[Credulous]

Yes I’m fine with that - did briefly consider but haven’t got the time to check out all the options at the moment so just played it safe and continued to stack……

Happy with the changes.

Playing safe is most often the better choice for Axis, I agree. But I fear we are past that and right now it looks like Allies grew out of proportion and want to rip us a new one…

Allies are on the march in Burma, Normandy and Persia… a lot of strong points if you ask me… too many for my taste…  :|

Hi

I had to edit away an Allied TT. There was an abundance of Japanese planes around and it was unprotected, but during combat move it looked like it was taken care of, but I somehow missed it instead.

Is that OK?

[Witt]

You sneaky Germano-Jap b*****d!

Fine by me. Elrood. I will punish you accordingly. Have a good day all.

[Witt]

I am swapping Ft and Sub for 2 Art and a 3rd DD.
