[Soulblighter]

In world war 2 the Italians were mostly useless when compared to the Germans and Japanese. Wondering how they will fare this game in Tobruk.

So far I can’t complain about my openings.

[Soulblighter]

@Shin:

Seems you didn’t have any trouble at all!

Didn’t see this post, but it looks like I barely had any trouble at all. I think these results so far are highly in my favor. Like a top 5% result when you combine both the German and Japanese opening.

Yea, you are mos def off to an excellent start.

Scramble?

[Soulblighter]

@Shin:

Full scramble. OOL depends on hits.

Well ladies and gentlemen. Place your bets. Will those blasted Italians manage to fire of a single shot or will they utterly fail as always and in ww2. Stay tuned :P.

I am betting a complete fail on the Italian side, my luck must have run out by now.

[Shin-Ji]

I love playing the Italians, personally.  If they can grab a few of their bonuses, they get very big very quick.

That’s why I shut em down hard when I play allies

So, sub hit, and there were 3 more hits from the rest.  Sub hit went to the BB, naturally, but where do you want the other 3?
