I haven’t done anything but move into a 1 unit territory (W. Ukraine), so no choices for you, that’s why I didn’t post it. SZ 125 requires action because you moved your sub in, I did nothing, mine was already there. Sorry, in the future I will post the move no matter what but I thought you would’ve expected a decision in 125 having moved the German sub in. I don’t know how to post the move now that it’s already in the combat phase, but I can reload and re-move if you wish. It’s just sub vs. sub.

Color me skeptical that it is worth it to the Axis to leave Southern France alive in order to: nullify the French fleet and gain a few infantry in N. Africa.

The 3 income from occupying SF is going to be more valuable, imho, over the course of the game than the Vichy gains.

Discuss

No scramble.

Remain or submerge in 125?

I’m gonna go ahead and concede now; can’t believe I left Berlin open to a leapfrog. Wanna go again switching sides?

I’m not even mad; that would be a futile exercise, I’m just disappointed because while some variance spices up the game and makes each one different, I feel like we’re wasting our time. I’m gonna hang in through the assault on Moscow though.
