    It’s amazing how unnerving that one move was. So much better than Taranto.

  • Hahaha. More carnage. On to the next series of spine tingling Allied moves.

  • 2023 '20

    @Stough
    Yeah. I read about it in one of the forums- it didn’t seem like it had a popular following. I don’t see why. The allies don’t have the forces to throw away at the beginning of the game. But they can’t let the axis run wild while they build up. This move holds onto said forces, while placing pressure on the axis.


  • I’m with you, this is the better move- unless there is a counter that we don’t see right now (abundantly possible for me, less so for our).

    LOL. Your moves are making washing the dishes look really good. I’m already mentally building Hitler’s bunker. “We’ll put the lamp over there, the radio and cake room will be …”
