So, a precious Bomber shot down (2 in as many rounds), 2 Infantry and 2 Mech lost, and no casualties for Japan or Germany... worst ... turn... ever!

Turkey is letting the Allies use their eastern border as an overflow (for NW Persia) for Brit and Anzacian troops. However, they are firm in not allowing Russian soldiers anywhere near their people.

UK London collects 32 IPCs.

UK Calcutta collects 20 + 5 NO = 25 IPCs.

Non-com, unit adjustment & placement. Italy collects 14 IPC's after raids. I did not thank you earlier for giving me Greece in the last round, I appreciate it.

Apparently my lone Japanese soldier in Africa is a Ronin warrior hell bent on conquest of blood diamonds. The crazy little b��t��d.

Mmm, Turkey, we shall see. I'm still in talks with them to join the Axis. So far they have not seen reason and joined the cause, but they'll see the light.

[Antholin]

Ooh, hold the presses  . Italy is at 15 IPC's. Ooh rah, powerhouse.

[Stalingradski]

I'm thinking about leaving that Ronin alone... he deserves a quiet retirement. Our boys are a little spooked by what happened last time we tried...

Later today I'll post Anzac/France (Franzac?)... I'm away as well. See you soon.

[Stalingradski]

Anzac purchases 6 Infantry, 2 Mech Infantry, Armor = 29 IPCs.
