@wittmann:

A combination of my being unlucky and not going into Marseille SZ with a Nabal unit too. Your TT surviving really messed me up.
I also should never have done that American Attack. I know it’s not your fault, but I planned it before I realised (or you asked me to edit ) you were blocking me with the Italian DDs. UK would have killed  off the ground forces, as I had a clear run from Egypt SZ.
I lost a those Americans needlessly.

Hope you are having a good weekend.’

I am sure that you are enjoying our game more than you let on witt!!!

You’ve had an e-mail from me when I could not post the game. Started again but forgot to attack Smolensk! Twerp!

Anyway use the second version above - I had erroneously put a purchased inf in W rather than E Germany.
