War has been declared

It’s interesting playing with new partners and opponents, as I get to see different strategies for the various countries.  Building BB’s is unusual.  Most players I’ve known go for lots of cv’s and ftrs as the U.S.  Building tanks as Rus in the early turns is also unique.  I don’t like to play by myself against the AI, so this game is broadening my experience and giving me new ideas.

I’m curious to see when the German attack is going to begin.  Round 3 and Germany’s been peaceful like with Stalin. G4?  Who knows at this point…

Russia can set its own victory conditions. I’m open to a continued peace with my German comrades. :)

@Gargantua:

Don’t make me start PM’ing my allies to coordinate a legitimate and competent defense against your imperialist aggression in this game.

Russia has sworn an oath of silence so far.

So far…

thanks garg

I don’t take look at these maps on the inbetween turns; it’s some seriously scary stuff for the allies.

I’m just going to hold my own!  And repel the fascist invaders if they attack! Conquering their lands!

If you Americans had just let Japan control China and keep Korea, there wouldn’t have been a Communist China, or Korean war or a nuclear N. Korea.  Go rant on Hitler and leave the Chrysanthemum throne alone.  Send your Pacific fleet east thru the Panama Canal.   Thank you Gar for your neutrality.  If you leave us alone in China, we will let you keep those worthless, frozen territories in Siberia.
