a fat italy fell then a fat germany fell.  and still this axis is kicking and scratching.

these are the games i love.  unfortunately, this one may not be complete in this league year, which means one of us is probably going to want to concede it before it is complete.  shame.

[boldfresh]

fascinating implications of this take of Berlin - i’m so intrigued to see how it plays out.
