Should have said, could we not play Tech? I think it might complicate matters and I am not a fan anyway.

You can use tech if you want.  I usually don’t.  I can never afford it.

[Witt]

No Tech, thank you.
That way we can see how well this strategy works. I really think Sealion is a given, so  I will play UK as I usually do: going for Italy. (I believe if the Allies can keep Italy under pressure and on a low income, the rest will come in time and they win.}
This strategy makes this strategy hard, maybe even impossible. I will probably not build a Factory in Egypt, as I feel it will be only gifting it to you.  I will let you build it, then take it off you!
Good luck.

Morning. Only taken two hours! I am not hungover from my party though, so that helped.

Need to know Scramble orders for Taranto please.

I never pass up the opportunity to grab Sumatra, so sending no 2 Transport to E Africa may prove costly for the Pacific side’s survival.( I am expecting you to go for India, over Aus.) For  this reason,  I was  in two minds about building a TT, instead of an Inf and an Art for India. Unfortunately, my Burmese spies were not able to garner any info and we have been unable to decipher Japanese radio traffic.
The Americans are off sightseeing off Australia and were not available for comment either.
Looks like the UK is on its own.

I have good dice.

[Witt]

I am not that happy and definitely feel nervous!
Taranto was a bloody affair. I always scramble, but thought you would not. Am anxious to know where your It TT will go.
My defences are certainly creaking and I sense Italy will be hard to control if things go your way. Not sure I would play this again(or you) with a bid as low as 6. Another 3 would have meant I would have sent my Indian TT the right way and not backwards. I don’t know if you followed Marti, but I was sweating that E African battle. And the Bombardment was a success!

[Witt]

I did not expect you to get the Med bonus. 
Am off to school to get my 4 year old. Will do my go when I get back.
