Ok. Thanks.
NP, I’m glad you asked. I had to write it down in a computer file because I always forget what it is
And did you mean to leave the Italian AA in East Poland? You may move it if desired
Don’t hurry. I’m gone all day tomorrow and won’t be able to give you any decisions, if there are any on G5, until tomorrow night. Fun with in-laws
Good night Gamerman. Whatever the finalist is, my pleasure to play this game.
I’m glad you said something so that I can say
I got really good early luck, which is so important, but I am still having a hard time. I look forward to continuing this epic game, 6 years after our last meeting, which was also round 2 of the playoffs.
I do have some records on that game, and Z97 on UK1 blew up on me really bad. >90% odds and I got a -43. This time I got lucky on Z97 and now I do not have that excuse.
Good night!

Ah, you test my honesty.
You removed 3 from Bulgaria but added 2 to Albania. You can put back the 3rd after I post FRANZAC, here
I don’t think the 3rd Italian from Bulgaria has been added back yet
If you wanted to move the Italian AA out of East Poland (was left there I4) that’s fine

I do see your post this time, so you don’t have to wonder about that. Have a great day
The 3rd complex makes me nervous.
Friendly reminder to roll amphibious assaults first, thanks, no problem in this situation of course.
I would have actually considered having that sub fight, but you assumed correctly this time. I do appreciate you trying to minimize stoppages, farmboy awaits
And just in case you appreciate this, I again acknowledge that your luck is a bit poor, still.
You are classy for not complaining, IMO
Almost 5 rounds in 5 weeks, that is not bad at all.

I still think you’re missing an infantry in SE Europe. I’ll add one to Albania and you can move it to any territory adjacent to Bulgaria if you want.
