I never posted my reaction to the book on this thread?

I read it soon after I got it, and I thought pretty much the exact same as Garg.  It was a great book, and I read it cover to cover within a couple of days.

I am trying to read his second, and like Garg, had trouble getting past the first page or two the first attempt, but I know when I sit down to read it again, it will be awesome.  You just gotta get past the first page or two I guess.

Hitler lost five weeks by having to bail Mussolini out in Greece. Otherwise the Germans would have been to Moscow before bad weather. But there is no guarantee that the Russians would have surrendered even if they lost Moscow. Plans were underway to move the capital further East.

Gentlemen, thank you for the clarification!

So, is thing balanced or does it favor one side or the other?

Also, how does it play?  Fast?  Slow?  Confused?

Looking forward to some reviews!

Thanks

Karl

@Amon-Sul:

It seems U re having fun  :lol:

So U go all out attack on JApan with USA?

oh, I keep a token force busy in the atlanitc to see if I can draw off some German/Italian stuff.

Ok, Gamer has said ok

So I will get it up and running here in a bit.

I will pm you.

Wow, today is my lucky day.  The dice are loving me.

I didn’t do the numbers but it looked like I could take Cairo.  But even if I did not, my plan was to just keep building up and attacking thinking I’d wear you down.

:mrgreen:

Yeah it was kind of inevitable I was going to lose this one.  I got lucky in the Pacific but still I just didn’t have enough to push Japan down and keep things alive in Europe too.  I find USA really hard to play.  Actually I find all of them hard to play.

Thanks for a good game and best of luck to you in the playoff!

@Karl7:

@hobo:

I dont think we can play another league game and have it count.  Right now I’m trying to limit my games to ones that do since rl has gotten a little busier for me.

cool,see you next league!  8-)

somehow I’m not too excited about playing the allies  :|

put a sub in z98 and 1 infantry in karelia

sub with Brit fleet, inf in New Guinea

PM me when you need scramble orders

@Degrasse:

You’ll win on G22, the attack on Rome needed above average dice to work and that time was just horrible.  Probably evens out with the way I’ve been abusing the dice against Whackamatt.  I’ll post the results in a minute.

It was a valiant effort!

Yes, it truly was. An amazing game, i have learned a lot playing it, and afcorse enjoyed it. Ok, see U after i pass 13 games ehhe  :lol:
