Sorry, I didn’t get to it during the weekend. I will send Germany and Japan, tonight.

I refused to accept your poisoned present ;-)

100% chance - I assume that you do not scramble. In case you decide otherwise, we can (re-)do the sea battle in SZ97.

Good morning :-)

I guess you didn’t even notice my break ;-)

Sorry, family is calling. I will do a break between China and the UK, knowing that it will annoy you ;-)

I am on a business trip, this week. I was hoping to be able to do turns in he evenings, but it turned to be impossible. And it would also be difficult to rule the world from a small laptop ;-)

Apologies, please expect my next turn only on Saturday.

But it looks like a legit move to me:

Could you kindly edit the Russian sub from SZ123 to SZ106? Thank you!

If you don’t mind, I will edit the Russian sub from SZ123 to SZ106.

I will need time for this one - it will be tomorrow evening.

The Brits were suffering from a surprising heat wave in Southern Italy and missed like any target in the first go, so Mussolini can still throw some last farewell parties.

@gamerman01 in my case, I always purposely let Trulpen win 😁

I assumed you wanted to take an infantryman as casualty in Russia (and not an AAA). Please edit in case my assumption was wrong.

Sorry, could you please kindly edit a ncm - the sub from SZ39 to SZ80? Thank you :+1:

I obviously have a contrarian view ;-)

Thank you very much as well for the game, Giallo! I think you played very well. I think the turning point was in round 11 or so when you moved the Air Force away from West Germany. This allowed the Allies to take it. As Italy could not take it back, Germany could only re-take it but never land planes and never could scramble.

Then of course round 16 was very much in my favor, when attacking Caucasus with the British. I did two test runs locally. The first one was a disaster with only one hit. The second time went fairly bad. When I still did it “in real life”, my dice were fantastic, killing five of these nasty tanks.

I also had to be careful to never “accidentally” take Ukraine from Italy. Starting the following round, the factory in the Ukraine would have been a German one.

Good luck in your other games, and have a good weekend as well!

Thank you, Lennard!

It is fine, no scrambling decision needed. I was considering attacking Moscow with the Japanese, but this is too expensive.

Only now, I detected the annoying French destroyer, LOL :-)

Japan will take a while - I have to get our daughter ready for school in-between. I guess you will have the Japan move for breakfast.
