That G1 is very tough on the UK … I need some time to think.

With no transports or destroyers in the Atlantic, even the most conservative turtle doesn’t provide London reasonable safety.

Also, I hate playing Allies  :lol:

This may be sub-optimal … but the way I see it, if Germany can take London either way, I may as well try to stall Italy.

Can’t complain about the dice.

I know that this gives you a good incentive to go Sea Lion (particularly since we’re playing with rerolls), but unless Germany has a blowout victory there, I think the Allies can still pull out a victory.

Might take a better Allied player than me to achieve that, but you never know  :lol:
