@Witt @simon-tressel Simon should be allowed to choose for himself. Germany is a very complicated power to play, with many units all over the globe. France/Serbia with more limited scope of operations would be easier for a newbie,. But that would leave me with Germany. We’ve never had a situation like this before regarding selecting powers. If Simon as G facing Elrood and me as F and UK, it would be unfair. G’s allies could advise, but the sheer number of moves and battles on G1 alone is staggering.
What would you choose @simon-tressel Germany or France.Serbia?
Global 1940 Wittman and Private Panic vs Credulous and Elrood

It is with great pleasure that I do not regret to inform Mr Churchill that HMS Royal Oak, HMS Hood, and a few more capitol ships now preside at the bottom of the North Sea and English channel. Oh, and my armies marched into Paris and installed a sham government. Smells a bit Vichy to me.
:-D
Over to you Wittman. Make those bids count. The Italians are not scared of your Fairey Swordfish. More fool them…

Mr Churchill is in the Library, with a bottle of Scotch, or two, and a handful of expensive cigars. The RN’s problems are behind us now.
We look forward, Mr Hitler and Mrs Mussolini. -
Not 2 days ago the Japanese tenno Hirohito (yours truly) was given a heir to the throne.
Celebrations are still going on and thus Japanese involvement in international affairs is at a recess.
Please bear with us for the time being and enjoy the peace as long as it lasts.
-
Thanks for the time to message. Enjoy those first few days. I hope you are off work. I won’t be!
Best of luck. -
I am! :-D
Seems like I have more dolce vita here than you, after all. 8-)

Japan’s turn when you are back Elrood.
I think it is you who should have been enjoying the peace up until now. Sleepless nights and a screaming baby await you. Enjoy!
Love the Yojimbo image BTW. It’s a great film.
-
Recognizing kurosawas work?! I like you already. :-)
-
I only make clever friends, Elrood.
PP is a gentleman too. -
A gentleman? Mmmm! Not what my wife says!
Kurosawa! Seven Samurai is one of my top ten all-time best films. But Throne of Blood & Yojimbo and others are excellent too. Just bought Throne of Blood (last saw it 25 years ago) and Rashomon.
-
Show off!
-
Nice! I can recommend: Akahige (redbeard?). Its a very good movie as well… with Mifune Toshiro of course.

Thanks SebastiAn - I’ll look that one out.

Bought it! Had better be good! :-)
