@VonAlba you sure about those german NCM? But italy can be taken for the cost of two transports and an airbase. Perhaps that would be a bad move and I am not sure I would do it but just giving you a chance to assess in case you missed what was in z91.

Yep, I dont think there is anyway back for the axis. Definitely got unlucky at the wrong times and it cost you a lot of axis air in Europe. Would be interesting to see if the aggressive moves in the Med/Middle east would eventually pay off if you had kept a couple more air alive but it certainly let Russia be a tad more aggressive since it left you thin on the mainland.

Thanks for the game.
