Thank you for yeoman’s service all these many years.

If we use badges to represent our interest, then we need to have badge for each possible combination. For example, some players (including myself) might be interested in BM and PoV but not OoB. My recommendation would be:
Infantry = OoB
Arty = BM
Tank = PtV
Sub = OoB + BM
DD = OoB + PtV
CA = BM + PtV
BB = OoB + BM + PtV

That classified Top Secret, but it is a reasonable assumption.

With all those G and J bombers and strong J fleet, I was really sweating it. The Axis was only 1 VC from winning, and the strong move on Hawaii had me scrambling. Thanks for an exciting game.

Thanks for a most interesting game. The constant threat of Allied Atlantic amphibious assaults, the stalemate on the Russian front, the Allied all out attack on Japan, and all those bombers had me really worried for the longest time.
I’d be happy to play again next season.
Best, Art

I’ll give the playoffs a try.

@ArtofWar1947
I am going to have my hands full playing JDOW in playoffs and my ongoing game. But I would welcome a set of re-matches once done with one of these games.

@JDOW

No complaint inferred; I was just trying to respond to your witty comment with an attempt at humor.
