Using the Japanese destroyer to sink the Anzac DD + Transport is truly a mean thing for me to have pulled off.  It has never worked for me before.

What is the deal with Russian Tanks?  German troops are just heading down to the Black Sea for some rest!  It is an effective strategy since I don’t have enough troops to do a G2 invasion with that much firepower.

Germany went about average for  the first round.  Nothing disastrous like a failed Paris attack.  Japan went slightly above average for a J1 attack.  I do like that opening because it captures the money islands more quickly.

I normally respond with a KJF strategy which inevitably works; the difficulty is transitioning to a counter-German strategy before the European sector gets out of hand.  At least Italy will be reduced to a shriveled husk at the end of this round.

Sorry, skipped through to ANZAC.  Nothing too big for the Italians.  Your French Foreign Legion destroyed the rest of my North African forces.  Italy is always so messed up after I1.

Sure no problem with minor edits.
