@Ghostglider I see I forgot that Italian tank in Ulanbaatar. Its fine if its too late, but do you mind if it join the Japanese units in Yakut?

Yes, at this point I want to know what other people think. I realize shiiite happens and some times things dont go the way you plan. Regardless, in this situation I feel you expect me to give you creditibility you would never give me. That is what annoys me. Maybe @gamerman01 can give some advise on how to deal with this
