You liberated France?? NOW?

If not now, when?

Or are you thinking you can recapture France’s income? Not in balanced mod - unless I misunderstand the rules.

Taking off G’s 2 bombers was a powerful incentive of course.

@Private:

Oh Ok, I actually missed that. But I still would have preferred to liberate with US (may be next turn) and then move in UK planes for sport.  :roll:

US empire building eh Seb! :wink:

Which makes me wonder why you PMed me to take Paris earlier today! :roll:

The Brits enjoyed taking Paris. Nuts to the Yanks: over paid, over sexed and over here! :evil:

hehe  :-D

The verb I used was “raid” not “take” Paris.

You should pay closer attention to your american overlord, my British friend.  :mrgreen:

Two nations separated by a common language ….

I assume that by raid you meant what most on this forum seem to call “strafe” then?

Anyway - the only allied loss is the income in territories that have reverted to French control.

I tell you… before this game is finished France will build an aircraft carrier  :wink:

Fun fact… I dont know if you own the board game of A&A1940… but France has the same amount and kind of miniatures as e.g. Anzac does.

So: a few tanks, Bombers, 2 AC, 2 BBs … etc. etc.

I felt always that its a shame they rot in that box and NEVER come out.

@Private:

Two nations separated by a common language ….

Also by the Atlantic, although i think Brits mostly forget that…hehe

How you guys stand on Brexit by the way?  :|

When are you two getting married?

If bickering is your image of a marriage… then
.  :cry:

I think the EU needs to change. It is overly interfering, insufficiently democratic and has a terrible non-record in nurturing a vibrant job creating European economy.

That said, Britain’s future is not as an inward looking, isolationist nation on the margins of Europe. So, although I think we should stay in the EU, I just wish the prospect of reform was much greater.

What’s your view of the EU Seb?

If I could vote, I would vote Out.
But I am a filthy Wop and  get no say. I thjnk England is belong ruined by the massive numbers of immigrants from undeserving countries. I do norlike the England that it is becoming.

Not sure on the surrender, Cred.

@wittmann:

When are you two getting married?

I am still waiting for him to ask me …. :cry:

Hehe.

Well… the way I see it is:

• we have lot of global issues and countries to solve them separatelly - thats just wrong
• europe florished decades on the suffereing of 3rd world - e.g  ask BP or Shell where they get that cheap oil from for our fancy cars - thats sick
• so many people in many eu countries are following now simple propaganda by nationalists - thats what happened formerly a 100 years ago - not good

This migration wave we face now is a challenge, sure… , but one which would be much easier to deal with in a unified EU.

@Elrood:

Particularly agree with both those points.

Re the latter one, in the UK we have a habit of blaming the EU for our immigration numbers, but actually more come from outside the EU - the causes of which we will find harder to manage or influence on our own.

@Credulous:

I can see you’ve now taken France. Is this the point where I’m supposed to resign or do we keep playing? (genuine question  :-)).

Cred

So what’s the decision guys? Are you going to rob the UK of the pleasure of recapturing Egypt or not?

If unconditional surrender, then I am certainly up for another game. I enjoy the banter with an ally. No doubt Seb thanks God that he had me to rescue him in this game! :-D

I leave the ultimate decision  to my reticent ally. Unlike the homos on the other side, we feel no need to converse like spurned lovers. There is still game enough left and it might be fun for Cred to see his empire shrink. I like a losing battle, as you know.
