Also, new is not taking FIC by T2 and not building trans on T1.  Probably won’t wait this long again.  There are so many iterations that it will take me more live games to figure out what I’m more comfortable with, and it’s not this opening for Japan.  Building IC in China is good, which is why I waited on FIC, but could have done both.

It’s frustrating playing Italy.  Even tho Ger destroyed remaining Bri fleet in Med, Bri air and ships reappear.  Ita fleet could amph to Mid East and withstand air attack from Egypt.  But the Indian fleet combined with the Egypt air would have sunk the Ita.  And the 4 land units would not have gained much, but would have been surrounded.  The Ita army in Africa can be attacked from mobile units from the south, planes from Egypt, and amphib from the coast.  They can’t be reinforced.  Global 40 with bidding would be even worse.  At least Ita got enough cash to build on T3.

Ha, that will teach you frogs to mess with the Italian navy.

Colt, didn’t the Paris AA roll snake eyes once when you were Ger?  On another dice item, a few days back you said you lost a 98/99% battle.  What was that?

Sorry for the delay, but I’ve decided to attack Rus this turn.  Had to work out the details

I’m attacking Rus sub in sz109 with 2 Ger subs.  Game asks for scrambling,  Why, planes can’t hit subs without a dd?  I can try scramble and see what it does, or just say no scramble.  Please advise

Oh, I forgot you can submerge.  Okay.
