Sorry, but didn’t bring the transport on the map, but two infantry in Egypt means I brought it.

Ok. I’m getting breaks. Maybe my bad luck got used up for awhile against Steve. You can thank him.
Italy collects 19 + 10 NO = 29 IPCs.
-
Very nice. This is the first game I’ve ever seen Italy take Egypt. I also really liked your Japan turn 2 moves. Well played sir.
-
Also, when I attacked you in Alexandria, I should have sent you a quick message to see if you wanted to lose the Artillery or the Mech. I obviously chose the Artillery, but you can switch that for the Mech if you’d like.
-
Thank you!
The Egypt move was 50-50, and I was feeling ok about it because I had the extra unit. Frankly it was pure luck.
I’ve never done a J2 before so I was curious, and I like it. It suppresses the economy of India and Anzac, somewhat, as it kills those transports before they can move twice. That was actually the entire impetus for the decision.
-
Good point, and thanks for the catch - I’m ok with the Mech as is.

France longs to make fine wines, but looks on Europe with disgrace and a tear of defeat is shed. :cry: They commence to moving.

I am a kind and gentle occupier. The French may make as much wine as they want, and keep it, and drink it. But no sabotage!
