for clarity’s sake
here’s the updated map

AA41_Manstein_Boldfresh+6_01dUK.AAM

sorry, now i’m confused
the ncm orders and the map show the z9 transport now in z2
is that right?

so is egypt empty?
the tank has gone to persia on map, but move not listed
not a problem. just checking. assume map is right

Here’s the map

map to follow shortly
a good start for japan, though i’m weakest in the north in the region of your russian stack, so that might be interesting

that is a better start than i had a right to expect but it’s now in your court for two of the next big rounds. Your Russia 1 was very effective. Very interested to see which way you go with UK/US. This is where your experience will tell.
