Well, the Axis are off to a pretty decent, if not thrilling, start!

The die is cast, as they say.

(And by “they”, I mean Doctor Octopus)  :-D

It’s all a question of how you want to use your navy, I suppose.

I say go for it!  I’ve never seen anyone actually try yet.

See, that’s why I love this game.

THe thrill of the choice.

Hello?

No worries!  Forgot about a few games myself, and currently catching up.
