@Gamerman01:

I can’t comment on the Russia situation at this time

sure, I perfectly understand that

[gamerman01]

Ah, yes, I think taking 4 away is fair which is why I did  :-)

[gamerman01]

Hectic time of the year for me - gotta beat my big annual deadline of 3/31 with my work
So I won’t be as regular  :-( but I always know when it’s my turn in a game and it bugs me every day until I make the move
Thanks

[nerquen]

:-(  …. any estimate when your turn could be posted?

[gamerman01]

It’s only been 3 days…
Probably this weekend

[gamerman01]

Got some much needed luck…  :|

Mussolini finds it too dangerous in Europe… decided to emigrate to east…

[Soulblighter]

In the past I had a game against Pgmatt, where a joined italian german and japanese fleet threatened hawai :p.

[nerquen]

these kind of end games are rather unhistorical… the game would benefit from an update in VC conditions… this is what I use in my house rules: If ever Germany or Italy ends ncm on Japanese owned territories, or Japan ends on German or Italian territories, or they land a plane on other side carrier, or they attack a VC on the opposite side of the map, then Axis need 13 VC globally to win the game.

Pretty much if Euro Axis and Japan shown any kind of active collaboration (for example German bomber in Pacific) then the VC switch to the 1st edition VC.

Pretty scathing dice, too….
You talked about playing games off-line - must have been quite a few, no?  You’re showing a lot of experience.  UK imploding on both sides of the map really made this tough.  Your 2 bomb runs over India were very effective, mine over FIC - boom
