@Soulblighter:

Well there is this old saying: Fortune favours the bold

I am just guessing at this point it is referring to another bold.

certainly not this bold, that much is clear.

the white flag is trying very hard to fly - any moment now probably.

What you need right now is Gandalf :P.

with gandalf there could be some hope.  perhaps he could start by lowering the axis defense hit rate by 80%.

trading uk bombers at a 2 for 1 rate with italian mechs is not quite what i had in mind for a baby step toward starting to think about starting to maybe hang around a little bit longer.

oh by the way the brits are on one usa acc in 91.

Wondering if jeffm is gonna make a turn post b4 this one is over  :-)

Fyi my time to move is running out today.  When axis is this far ahead it seems the time allowed to move should be drastically decreased….  :-P

If atlanta axis wants to be sporting they can put a British bomber on Spain and remove the super mech in n italy… Although I would be torn I would not be totally against it.
