seems like i am getting one and two’d to death. The italians have been getting killed since Greece. They can’t keep their heads down.

so where do you think I have gone wrong here? Too weak/conservative against Russia? Not building a large enough German Atlantic fleet? The IC in EGY?

Seems a bit of a stalemate on the eastern front?
