The Anzac tide  has turned. Welcome to the Nip Tsunami!

[Private-Panic]

The first game in which I have been accused of having an ANZAC tide. More of a ripple I think?

[Elrood]

I am rooting for Axis! Nothing against PP, but I usually do that…  :-)

Since Axis are so god damn cool between Supersoldiers, Kamikaze and Samurai swords… Allies cannot match that AT ALL.

[Private-Panic]

Bog off ElRude - who asked you? :-P

Word of advice - don’t root for axis when we are playing the allies …. :roll:

[Elrood]

“El Rude”… i dont know yet if I should :cry: or  :lol: about that.

Intercept in Moscow? You have two twos and I have 4 ones.

Hi Elrood. Hope we are keeping you excited.

I thought the Jap Sub in SZ5, denied you the Siberian LL.
Am I in the wrong SZ?

I would have prioritised Volgorod: one more Air or  Ground . You ca n afford it.
