right, get a grip, manstein
need to focus
just working on ger3
i’m perplexed by your leaving a lone transport in sz1 next to my sub
assume that’s an automatic kill, or am i missing something in the rules?
bloody hell
i’m relatively new to this game
didn’t see any of that coming
don’t really understand why the axis are thought to have the advantage when the US can do that
i guess that means i won’t be taking australia any time soon
and the fairy godmother said to rommel, you shall go to africa after all…
it’s pretty much a coin flip
and the plucky Brits… bugger … another bloody exchange

Japan takes Philippines for no loss with 4 inf
just seen your notes on kwangtung. yes, sorry was originally landing troops and then changed my mind so i could beef up philippines attack. you are quite right. am losing my mind here, it’s half 2 in the morning. glad it didn’t affect the outcome so we don’t need to go back. my land forces wiped out and i haven’t taken it, so hopefully no harm done
anyway this is the last one for me
