Sorry about the belated edit of a move for that US fighter Leo. I had meant to do it in the US turn and saw I had not when I came to do the UK’s.

I rearranged my fts, so I had one in Germany. If I had used the ones I had better, I could have done this. I have a fussy Raf on my knee. It is “cheating”, but I would have done properly, if I was mot rushing . Excuse my impropriety!

[Witt]

I should have sent the Berlin one to Normandy, not SD France. Then would have been ok. I am sure you have no complaints!

[Private-Panic]

Complaints? Where do you want me to start!

I know you always think you are losing, but putting that to one side, how do you read this game at the moment?

[Witt]

You are losing.

[Witt]

Annoying you can still buy 6 units . I cannot break through, as I can only make 6 plus a few Mech in Berlin.
I think I need to attack with Japan, if I cannot win with them . Is annoyingly frustrating, as Japan is holding very well. Do not want to open the floodgates giving you unnecessary income and units. I lack the killer instinct: knowing when one side is close to the victory and relinquishing the other Axis half.

[Private-Panic]

Mmmm

[Private-Panic]

BTW - the revised balanced mod has new victory conditions for the allies - perhaps we should use that for our next game.

[Witt]

I think it was to stop the Axis winning only on one board. That makes sense in OOB rules.
Not sure the Sllies need more help with this Balanced one.

[Private-Panic]

It also gives G a couple of NOs to go for. With that and the more sensible allied VCs it is probably an improvement I would say.

Has Tojo gone for a nap?
