@Betano I’m not following. Please explain more in depth what you mean.

@wizmark Thanks for the game! Hope you had fun!

I really enjoyed grappling with how to handle the ANZAC crush and then the surprise Caribbean invasion. 😅🤓

The group I often talk A&A with is pretty torn on pushing hard for ANZAC vs focusing on the China-Burma front and pushing for India. And we’ve found the Mediterranean in BM & PTV is just so pivotal…Pretty big income boosts taking a couple islands, really. Starting to feel like most games are won or lost in the Med.

Do you scramble to SZ95 and/or SZ97, and how?
