Oh I am wondering if I am doomed in this game already.
Certainly anything can happen with the dice, but the odds are looking a bit long.
supplies more booze to the royal navy
Yeah, well they were both sweet deals for you - you’d better appreciate those planes
I do!
Need some time, quiet, and energy to move Russia…. still frenzying to beat annual deadline
Ok, thanks for the update!
Let’s see if I can get to it this weekend (tonight, tomorrow or Sunday) - one or two more hectic weeks to go with work…
Dang!  It would have been HUGE if you’d lost 2 planes over 98
And now I lose an 80%er at Belarus…… ouch

Tough sledding
You lost one man?  Brother
Yeah, the chinese/british resistance was - fortunately for my axis - very weak. No breaks so far for the Allies in this turn again.
About a week until I’m past the stress of this deadline…. Then I should start having some days at home and can play more regular… it’s this way every Feb/March for me
Alright!
