Gave it a last ditch effort for Egypt and I was blown away! I was thinking I could bail the armor out if it did not luck out there, lol.

That is fine, I just go to push Germany toward Russia to attack. Italy flopped out this game 3:8)

38:] there got my cow emoticon

I am going to risk take all the way, my odds will get worse and worse, but it just has to come through in the end! LOL.

In hindsight I think I mismanaged a few key pieces. I am not too worried about it, it is not it was too improbable what I was trying to accomplish.

Well played with UK, called my sea lion bluff, got just the right amount of stuff to stop me and you got that bomber buy.

Not too many out there that will take advantage of a good situation.

Subs were the deciding factor for me. I did consider sea lion.

If I were to do sea lion, I would want to drop a few on scotland and use italy to bomb uk’s airbase if you repaired it so I would not have to deal so much with a naval battle.

Haha I told Veqryn to use Russian mech on Japan in a game against Garg. At first he did not go with it, he did it a little late, but still within the window necessary for us to win that game.

Thing is if you send russian mech toward Japan, it would have worked, Germany does not have enough air / units to convoy usa or even threaten to take east usa. That would force Japan to desperately move toward the VC count and it would be a quick game ending in me losing probably.

You know lots of tricks. It is good to see that.

is your turn done or?

Don’t see any battles so I am going to take my turn, you can adjust non combat.
