Wheatbeer (axis) vs alexgreat (allies +6)

Failed to take Greece and both French ships hit.

This might be the worst Axis opening round I’ve ever had.

With the troops I brought, the odds of failing to take Paris were under 1%.

Sorry for the delay, I’m trying to decide the best buy for Germany under the circumstances.

My wife came home early, so don’t wait up.
