Whoops - thanks - I was distracted while playing and must have forgot them
Will answer all your questions now…

I wanted to move the Frenchman to Egypt and 2 infantry to the USA transport in 91

Subs fight
Fighter scrambles

Lose subs before destroyers, destroyer before fighter

But if you have 2 subs to my 1, I want to be asked again

Edited file attached - has the 2 French movements

OK, I’m here, let’s see….

What the heck?  Wittman made a 6% attack on 3 infantry and 2 bombers in TrJ and won, too….
Yes, lose the destroyer at this point.

I’m happy to talk about the game in progress - what is your question?

I’d say you’re doing more than fair, AeV.  Not sure if you’ll be able to get by my Russians any time soon or not, but listen.

You don’t need to get to Moscow fast, I have learned.

You have bought way more tanks and less mech than most players do, but I’m not strongly criticizing that.  Maybe you could buy a few less tanks.  You probably bought a little much naval and air - again, nothing wrong with buying some, but most players would go with a little more ground.  You might actually be paying a little too much attention to the West.  Of course everyone has different styles and strategies, but I think it’s sound strategy to make the Western Allies start landing, make them come in.  Like the spider to the fly - invite him in a little.

I think you need to improve your Italy logistics a bit.  Try to line it up so that your transports can keep moving units to North Africa/Middle East, and keep threat on Egypt.  It was too easy to defend Egypt for several turns, I think.

Of course, most players will ram into your fleet on UK1 and I didn’t this time.
Also, few players will buy as many luxury items with Russia as I have, and it may bite me (2 bombers already)

But yes, you’re playing well - keep it up.  If it wasn’t so late here, I’d move now, but it’ll have to wait a bit…… Hopefully during the day Saturday before I have to leave
