101 income for Germany that round!  In another couple rounds Germany will be out-earning UK+Russia+US and victory will be guaranteed.  I am sure that we will go through a few more tough battles before Egypt is solidly in Axis hands and Moscow is crushed, but I don’t see a way for you to stop eventual victory in Europe.

Yeah, I knew that Egypt was going to be difficult to hold for very long.  I was going to next focus on taking Moscow which is probably a three round campaign of attacks.  Eventually though it was going to fall since I had more planes than you had Russian troops.  Italy was going to build a factory in that region, assuming that you did take back Persia with a UK transport this round.  With so many Axis bombers, I could easily move my attack from all of the major battle zones.

Anyway, you played much better this time around.  Colt and I have been noticing a big improvement in your strategy and tactics.  Are you ready for a new game with +80 bid for the Allies?

Yeah, Colt made some huge mistakes.  I am surprised that he is struggling this much since the game should have been so easily won after the great starts by Italy and Japan.

+80 might be a bit much, but I would be up for the challenge.  I might have to surrender after a few rounds if I can’t make any progress on either side of the map, but maybe I will have a gameplan that still can succeed.  I will create a thread and post your bid when you have time.  There is no rush; this game has been taking so much time for both of us.

I am in Denver, USA but work from home so have some flexibility in my schedule.  Where in Europe do you live?

I figured from your perfect English that you were probably from the Netherlands.  I am surprised by the number of G40 players from your country.

I assume that you are talking about European Football when you referenced #2.  We don’t get much coverage of the matches except for World Cup and the Olympics.

Well the current US administration is a tragicomedy of unprecedented proportions.  We have many politicians that I completely disagree with their viewpoints, but I have never seen someone in the highest level of government partner with Russia to influence an election.  We had the Watergate scandal of Nixon before, but this new Goldengate scandal is 100x worse.  I see that the betting markets are expecting more than a 50% chance of impeachment.  Hopefully it will happen before this moron goes to war with Mexico.  I can’t believe that I would even be typing that last sentence.  Sad!

My dad actually went to high school with Trump in New York during the 1960s.  He could not imagine that this imbecile is now “running” the country.
