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.

I’m happy bringing in the tank got me a hit… Was thinking about arty :-)
Yeah, on R3 I actually had to simulate our moves through R5 or R6 to see what I had to buy and what I would have to do with the UK and US… That move took forever, you might remember me mentioning, but it was necessary to make this a good game
It’s late - can probably get ANZ and France out of the way tomorrow so we can get back to the real action

I’ll play 1 more turn and then I’ll surrender.
Lose 2 ANZ
You won’t want to hear this, but I unwittingly put ANZ in Cpr just for position - not to defend. Didn’t consider bomber attack
