  • Illinois hwy 74.jpg


  • Illinois farms.jpg


  • River in Illinois.jpg


  • My Russia turn is done, see below.

    I finally have some pictures for you. We drove to Indiana and back for my nephew’s graduation. 4 of my 9 siblings were there. We had a wonderful time.

    The first picture I posted is Interstate Highway 74 in Illinois. We live in Iowa, but this site is about 1 hour away.
    We were lazy and my wife took the pictures from the passenger side of the car, which is the right side in USA.
    The second is to show the flat, vast farmlands of Illinois, which are typical of the “breadbasket of America”. They have huge grain bins and elevators in central Illinois but we didn’t get any pictures of them. She was sleeping. My understanding is that these lands feed many other countries. Since WWII ended and America quickly developed highly efficient farming equipment, these lands “fed the world”, or much of it, anyway. It was some 30 years later that Brazil cleared rainforests and grew, especially, soybeans.
    The last picture is just driving a bridge over a river in Illinois. Might have been Peoria, I’m not sure now. Maybe these pictures are boring and are not exotic compared to Europe and her farmlands and landscape, but I hope you enjoy.


  • The speed limit on hwy 74, like many in the midwest, is 70 mph. So most drivers travel at 75 mph.
    So that is 112 kph to 120 kph


  • Hello Gamerman,

    Congratulations to your victory.
    Again a very very good game from you. Altough I was lucky in the beginning are your Allies unstopable. And Germanys campaign aginst Russia was without power because I lost it in The Atlantic. A long game is good for the Allies if Germany is so weak like my Germany.
    I am looking forward for next game against you.
    At the momemt I have a lot of work and play very slow but I think I have more time in August to start if good for you. I need some games BM, OOB and PtV for the ranking.
    Good Luck in your next Playoff game and altough good luck for Me 1945, I think he will need it.
    Please send me the link to follow your playoff game.
    Best regards from Harry

  • Thank you!
    Did you like any of the pics below?

    This game was very enjoyable for me and I definitely look forward to playing a 4th with you, maybe in August like you said.

    We both put a lot of thought and time into this game, and you played air-tight, that is, without blunder.

    I hope the game against Me1945 is not blown up by dice in the first round, thank you. It is a highly anticipated game because we have not faced off in years. I have a lot of respect for his experience and skills.
