1) The Chinese counterattack was a big nothing!  :-[

7 infantry and 1 fighter vs. 2 infantry, 1 armor, 1 artillery, and 1 fighter. 

I was hoping to get into some heavy equipment and then run.  Maybe even take down a fighter.

Both sides wiffed!  No damage what so ever!  I ran away. :(

2) The Italians received 2 cruisers and 1 destroyer from the French!!!!!!! :o

I forgot how many things went our way early in the game - getting half the French fleet certainly helped. . .

In Summer, the German's invaded Norway and the Axis Minor's joined the cause

In Summer 1940, the Royal Navy vacates the Eastern Med and the Italian-Vichy fleet moves into position.  In Northern Europe, the Germans bomb London and embark on a massive u-boat building campaign.

The Battle of Britain continues as well as the Battle of the Atlantic.  In Southern Europe, the Germans take Yugoslavia and the Italians and British build up in North Africa

Spring 1941 - The Germans pull most of their strength out of Western Europe to prepare for Barbarossa.  The Americans reinforce the Phillippines and the battles in China continue.

In Spring 1941, the Italians withdraw into Libya, the Brits launch a spoiling attack into France to draw German strength from the Russian front and the Soviet's mass their defenses in the South.

What happened to the Grazzianni Line? ???  Prematurely pulling out? :o

"Spoiling Attack" is one of those terms you hear and get a chuckle out of. 

Not because it doesn't aptly describe what is going on, but because of the fact that it is one of those terms that must be used all the time in Mark and John's playing group. 

It is great to come across little nuggets like that.  That is what playing games face-to-face is all about.  Especially with new players.

The Fuhrer would never concede to a defensive mindset at this point! Il Duce was told to take Cairo at all costs and to eventually meet up with German forces moving southward from Russia into Persia!

The only small detail missing from this plan of genius was enough troops, armor and air to pull it off!  ???  :o

John ;D

Yes, the Italians let me down in the Med.  Kept retreating when they should have been advancing and always requesting to dig in. . .

Weren't the Italians the ones who kept getting the German fighters killed in the Med? ;D :D

Hey man, they drew us into this war. Promises of the return to the glorious days of the Roman Empire... :P
