@UnknownSoldier:

well I clearly underestimated that one huh?

yes scramble please and max defense as OOL

A little. It’s fairly common to forget about those little worthless islands as landing spots. Pretty sure their only function is to make the Japanese even more overpowered than they already are :P.

GG. Yeah, you put a lot of good early pressure on Germany. Had to rush things a lot more than I’d normally have liked. Might have felt like not much competition to you but I was sure as heck worried until Russia fell. Losing Norway that early is… distressing :P. Especially with a neutered Italy.

Would you like to play a rematch? Same bid, swap sides at same bid, or rebid would be completely fine by me.

Sub in 98, inf in New Guinea, and an IPC to the Russian bank please :).
