Now for the most exciting turn of the game.

:)

Mussolini? …. Hello?  Dude - you have to wake up it’s your turn!

In looking at the board, and I have to say that there is random shit everywhere…

I’m looking at all these planes, multinational forces, mechanized troops with double/triple can openers, and all the factors to consider all at once, I have to say - I fully understand why your turns are a headache… the fact that USA rolls a dice for tech every turn can’t help your mind either… lol.

As much as I’d like to take full credit, most of this mish-mash is the result of a desperate struggle for survival using every possibility available, as opposed to a deliberate strategy.  You have run an excellent campaigns in both Europe and the Pacific, with good counter strokes to allied offensives, knocking me to the ground several times.

This has probably been the most difficult game I’ve had the pleasure of playing in several years, I’d imagine it’s the same for you! :P

Lets see what the next few rounds hold in store…

You lucked out on convoy rolls lol!

Well you keep leaving them out! And there are certain trades I am willing to make! :P

hmm…

No scramble.

As for Southern France OOL… lets do British Infantry, American Infantry, Mechanized, Artillery.

But what’s really going to happen, is 3 hits for the allies opening round, and another 2 or 3 in the second round, and you’ll be selecting planes as casualties. :)

I hope…
