Yes looks equally bad in both scenarios.
Wonder if that could have been avoided…

Perhaps by having less fun.
And good morning to you, Seb.

Good morning…
there is that word again… “fun”? what does that even mean?!  :wink:

Can you explain that word by using words like: productivity, punctuality, orderly and thoroughness?

:mrgreen:

It is fun to play Russia differently.

Well you can always go for all tanks buy in OOB with Russia, but not complaining then when Allies lose swiftly.  8-)

@Elrood:

Can you explain that word by using words like: productivity, punctuality, orderly and thoroughness?

No doubt a German would. A Brit would use words like spontaneous, madcap and riotous. Are the causes of those two world wars becoming clearer?! :-P

@Private:

Are the causes of those two world wars becoming clearer?! :-P

Yes! From what I can gather… Germans saw how much FUN Brits and French had with their colonies and just wanted to chime in!
They didn’t realize of course that it was first come - first serve. hehe
