@FranceNeedsMorePower

As I said in the first post, it’s incredible. It’s one my favourite World War 2 books of all time. While it’s definitely shorter than it could’ve been, what we get is very valuable.

Not only is the historical analysis and writing style by proffessional historians fun (David Glantz!), it also implies a lot of real historical facts that I didn’t know about before, especially unused Allied war plans like invading Yugoslavia or Japanese-controlled Taiwan.

I am very grateful to @Witt and @Private-Panic for bearing with a new player as Germany and to the rest of you for an exciting game! I have learned a lot about unit compositions and tempo and strategy that I hadn’t been able to experience before just playing against the computer a bit.

Sadly I also cannot commit to another game at the moment with my baby getting more active and we’re also moving and I’m taking on more work soon.

It’s been a pleasure, and I hope to play with you all some time again.

@fasthard

kill cruiser

you can assume anz won’t move anything, and as far as scrambling, if odds are over 60% and tuv is zero or greater, you can assume russians won’t scramble. if it’s close yeah feel free to ask, but def don’t ask if you’ve got high odds with a fairly positive average tuv.
