[Soulblighter]

Ask for an OOL. In most cases you can simply assume max defense, but given the state of the game asking for OOL and not making assumptions would be best.

[Soulblighter]

I am changing the casualty choice, replacing 1 artillery for 1 german infantry.

[Soulblighter]

You should have attacked Egypt with both American bombers b.t.w… It would have been a small chance, but it might have increased the odds of the UK battle slightly. Then again rather then building the destroyer and 2 more infantry, I should have build 2 tanks and 1 fighter in Egypt. It would have made capturing Egypt nigh impossible. Other then that it was a nice game. The invasion I had to do with the Japanese to help out the Germans worked out nicely. I was actually pondering about sending my Japanese planes to Europe, but wanted to keep all options open.
