    Karelia and Belorussia captured with no casualties.
    Eastern Europe offensive crumbled totally, wiping out inept Russian fliers and the tin cans of tanks.

  • '16 Customizer

    Wow, that’s insane- talk about bad dice!
    I should have seen a blitz possibility; that was dumb of me.
    I’ll see if I can get to G2 tonight- I’m really busy, but I’ll try.


  • Yeah, the East Europe “weakness” with a juicy bomber target was the reason i launched the UK amphi assault on Karelia, to soften the way for a russian blitz, but now all for naught…

  • '16 Customizer

    Well I commend your strategy regardless- I wouldn’t have thought of that.

  • 2 of your subs hit my destroyer simultaneously.

    I need you to decide to lose your own destroyer (and thereby any chance of returning fire at my airborne forces, but allowing all 3 subs to escape should you want to.), or lose a sub, and continue fighting with your surface vessel.

  • This isn’t going very well!

    I’ll wait for your decision re the engagement in SZ5, in case the WEu landings affect your choice.

  • '16 Customizer

    Lose the DD, keep the subs


  • Ok, in that case your subs should submerge, and my fighters pick off the transport and RTB.
