I thought the present was Finland.  You must have meant Denmark and/or W Germany?

[gamerman01]

It’s not letting me attach right now.
You’ll either have to make my moves yourself or wait until it lets me upload again…

[gamerman01]

What was I thinking….
I’ll leave the army in Burma and not move anything to India

@Gamerman01:

Wger is the present.  I figure the loss of the TTs and the units makes up for the loss of the 2 mec and then some.

I didn’t think you’d stretch it and go for Den as well, though.  Means I’ll have to stretch things out a bit too to get it all back.

[gamerman01]

Yes - take a chance with Italy or else Germany can’t get the NO…
Tried restarting the browser - let’s see if I can upload…

YES

OK, here you go
Enjoy your buffed up Italy making 3 NO’s on I3

With no experience with Alpha3, you were making me nervous with your mobile purchases with Germany, so I definitely wanted to take out two of them with the UK.
Russia will not be falling through G5 or 6, so I think I can at least make a game of it and not be a pushover.  With as many hours as a guy has to invest in a single game of 1940, you definitely don’t want any huge early round gaffes making it a lopsided game….

I remember learning P40 and screwing up with the weird sea zones and it would have ruined a game but Funcioneta let me take it back so it wouldn’t…  When doing America here tonight I thought wow a player could really ruin a game fast by throwing away a Japanese or American fleet over a counting error or forgetting a naval base/air base, what have you.  With all the time invested in a global game, you have to be careful not to ruin games…

Yup, G6 is out.  You didn’t panic like most players do.  I’ll have to go to plan B.
