Oh, holy shit. I thought there were only IT 2 inf in Kenia, it is partly in white ground. But I should know how many units the Italians have in Africa.
One of the simplest and worst blunders I have done so far. tbh, this game is a misery from the very first round :-/

[arathorn]

Yes, it is proving to be a painful ride so far… ;)

[JDOW]

Also a nice an important experience. I never got butchered so far, not even by gamerman, this one makes me harder^^ Anz, Fre coming up!

Well, I cannot even kill a sub with a Destroyer, Ita Sub easily slaps French wannabe-navy with the first shot, but what to expect from French “military” units^^. French should have white units, then they can more easily surrender:D

Accidentally pushed next, so here is the file attached.

I take that as a compliment ;)

I didn’t expect anything but a flawless assault:)

[arathorn]

Hehe. My german luftwaffe has good juice :)

[arathorn]

When can we expect your Russian advance? ;)

[JDOW]

Hey…

was forced by my father in law to drink Wodka at dinner (which I prepared for 2 hours). Cannot move today with alcohol in my veins, enough blunders and poor decisions happened already and in this position every move belongs together, especially Russian with US/UK.
However I do NOT want to raise the impression I delay the game due to my bad position.
Russkies coming tomorrow and US/ZH/UK also same day once your Jap3 is done.

Will keep reasonable pace till the end!

[JDOW]

@arathorn:

Advance? I just learned from Bold vs whaet that the Russkies have to walk into China and keep Baltic, EP and Bessa empty vs sea lion. Probably I abandon Moscow already looking for a new home in Korea…or why not FIC?:)
