    You can’t land your planes in Finland with only 5 movement.  Unless you’re claiming that Finland connects directly to  z126, which does not seem to be the case.  If that had been the case I would have defended my stack there more carefully.

  • '15

    I’m looking for official confirmation that z126 does not border Finland, and this is what I have found so far:

    http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=23362.150

    Here’s an image of the actual board that shows they do not connect:

  • The flight path was UK –> z110 --> z112 --> z125 --> Norway --> Finland.  The fighters can reach Finland because UK has an airbase.

    Every game I have played so far has involved me losing a stack of Trn to my inability to count to 5 (or 7).  Sigh.  I still think I’m doing pretty well, though.

    Italian schoolchildren sings songs of the invisible tank for years afterward.

    Italy collects 28 IPCs, to its eternal shame.

  • I am not at my regular computer right now, so if you want to go ahead and do Germany that’s fine.  ANZAC will just buy 2 armor and 1 inf, NCM any units in South Australia or Queensland to New South Wales.  France has nothing to do anyway.

  • '15

    Slight modification to my Italy purchases.  Bought 2 more Inf and 2 more Art instead of the 2 Trns.

    OK.  If you want to move the French Dst later, feel free.

    Anzac collects 10 IPCs.

    Now, Germany 5!  59 IPCs.  Buying 1 Dst, 1 Ftr, 1 Tac, 10 Inf.

    The Egyptian refugee (I was told this was an advisory post!  No one told me I would be abandoned here!  The Fuhrer will hear of this!)  walks into Trj, because why not?
