@Gargantua:

This is going to be a wild one. :-)

those are the best kind

I don’t have to tell you what that means:

KILL! KILL! KILL!

Hey guys,

I am 99% certain you wont intercept Russia.
its 3 bombers vs 2 fighters and I am absolutely certain you plan to bring all 3 planes to India because any plane less would significantly increase Japans odds.

So apologize in advance in case you wanted to intercept. I am sure we find a solution then. However I need to go to bed within the next 15 minutes so I do not want you guys to wait an entire day to proceed.

Cheers,
Tobias

Ha! Garg is still chewing on it, I think. Move soon.

I’m going to be on the road much of today. So I can’t guarantee a speedy Japan.

@Gargantua:

LOL wtf 6 downloads?

What’s going on here!

There’s probably going to be an op-ed in the New York Times on this game.

Actually, that reminds me of a funny story. SO I was back in Idaho for a wedding, and while there I visited a buddy of mine who had just bought the 2nd edition games. His girl friends came over and looked at the unpacked games and asked with real concern, “Why would anybody want to play a game as Nazi Germany that could win the war?”

This caused us to laugh…… But it does give you some insight into the rarefied world we “gamers” live in to the extent we easily separate the reality of historical fact from these historical based war games.  An intellectual capability seemingly lost on some segments in the population.  Probably why Larry Harris never again put the swastika in any part of the game since the 1980’s version.
