@mike64 Great note, Thanks.

Yea I do want to start another game and have at least something of a strategy guide like: Germany does the usual Barbarossa type thing but maybe has some options in the med.

And I had NO IDEA what to do with Italy so anything would be helpful there.

And Japan is fun actually. And I can sense that the usual play for them is to hide in the upper left - but I had no idea that Russia could reinforce there.

I’ve a few personal crisis at the moment so I would like us to keep playing this game just so that I can learn what to do. Then start a new game in a week or two when hopefully the crisis have been resolved well.

I’m definitely having fun with this game in any case and hope that you will too even though I am a beginner.

I’ll get another turn out soon.

@The_Good_Captain Calling GG here. Germany is just going to die because of the 1-2 of IT + USA and then the game is over after that.
