@leemorrison You’re being polite. Yes I got my bomber and some air shot down during the first two turns but I overextended very badly with Japan, mostly because I underestimated the value the tanks would give you in terms of exploiting openings in my positions.

GE. builds 2 subs., 2 fighters, &, 3 troopers. Moving troops, guns, &, tank to Alsace. Also fighter flies to Lorraine, and, extra trooper for Berlin & Prussia(in case of any Allies sea landings). Four troopers & 7 guns enter Picardy, versus, Brits. 6 troopers, gun, tank(absorbs a hit), &, fighter. Losses Axis 3 troopers & gun, &, Allies 5 troopers. Brits. are hurt but still defending Picardy.

Also 2 transports head back to Egypt.

Battle in Picardy fighter, tank, 6 troopers , &, 4 guns, versus, GE. trooper & 4 guns. Losses Allies 2 troopers & Axis all. Picardy is under Allied control again!

From British to German Home Waters, no mine lost, BB & C & sub. & fighter versus GE. BB & 2 subs.(only damaged Brit. BB is left).

GE. forces fizzle out with the Allied counterattacks, with Allies growing stronger in Europe, GE. agreed to give back Lorraine, in return for two of its colonies back. The Allies take the deal, a drive to Berlin would be very costly.

@Martin Yes the “miss” on my part was using Japan’s bomber offensively when it could have at least NCM’d from Manchuria -> Germany to give one more HP to the units there. That might have made some level of difference in the final fight but in hindsight, once the UK air got as many kills as it did it was unlikely that Germany was going to survive.

Good luck to you as well!

@VictoryFirst Thank you, done!
