In world war 2 the Italians were mostly useless when compared to the Germans and Japanese. Wondering how they will fare this game in Tobruk.

So far I can’t complain about my openings.

@Shin:

Seems you didn’t have any trouble at all!

Didn’t see this post, but it looks like I barely had any trouble at all. I think these results so far are highly in my favor. Like a top 5% result when you combine both the German and Japanese opening.

@Shin:

Yea, you are mos def off to an excellent start.

Scramble?

Full scramble. OOL depends on hits.

Well ladies and gentlemen. Place your bets. Will those blasted Italians manage to fire of a single shot or will they utterly fail as always and in ww2. Stay tuned :P.

I am betting a complete fail on the Italian side, my luck must have run out by now.
