@mike64 I had edited that tank out of Denmark on Japan’s turn, but it’s back in Denmark. When I do Germany I’m going to edit back to W Germany.

So, a precious Bomber shot down (2 in as many rounds), 2 Infantry and 2 Mech lost, and no casualties for Japan or Germany… worst … turn… ever!
Turkey is letting the Allies use their eastern border as an overflow (for NW Persia) for Brit and Anzacian troops. However, they are firm in not allowing Russian soldiers anywhere near their people.

Non-com, unit adjustment & placement. Italy collects 14 IPC’s after raids. I did not thank you earlier for giving me Greece in the last round, I appreciate it.
Apparently my lone Japanese soldier in Africa is a Ronin warrior hell bent on conquest of blood diamonds. The crazy little bastard.
Mmm, Turkey, we shall see. I’m still in talks with them to join the Axis. So far they have not seen reason and joined the cause, but they’ll see the light.
-
Ooh, hold the presses :-o. Italy is at 15 IPC’s. Ooh rah, powerhouse.
-
I’m thinking about leaving that Ronin alone… he deserves a quiet retirement. Our boys are a little spooked by what happened last time we tried…
Later today I’ll post Anzac/France (Franzac?)… I’m away as well. See you soon.

Well sir, we’ve played 13 incredible rounds and I’ve learned quite a bit. However, the time has come to throw in the towel and declare the Allies as the victors. Norway is not looking good for me, and the Middle East, as per the norm, is a cauldron of chaos. Even the mighty Wehrmacht cannot crack the Allies there. I have quite a bit of sway left with Germany, but instead of the slow grind of their forces being reduced to a mere shadow of themselves, I will remember them in their current state of bad assery.
Now, let us debrief on the game and trade comments, strategies and suggestions back and forth. Then onto game 2 with you as the Axis and myself as the valiant Allies. Well played sir, and I salute you.
