Poor old Frenchies

[adamsaka]

It sounds like Moscow is surrendering to the facist beast.

Moral of the story: Never help the French!

A reflection:

The Russians developed MA far to late, even with heavy funding from the English in the early game. Before then Russian tanks simpy bounced off the German ones, even in the snow. Russian's also had very poor grade infantry.

I probably expected the English to hold out longer when they landed in France, and may have done so if they had researched MA a little earlier.

So should we play this out to the finish? ie, begin the battle of Britain? I think the outcome is inevitable, but Im happy to go on if you guys are.

The brits are a bit behind the times, perhaps because they have changed hands so many times.

Re: Re: English

so when will you land mate?

As the Germans well know, the English are in no position to launch a ground invasion. Mainly as they are still a or 2 turn away from developing MA. I took over England when they were in a pretty beaten up state, I guess they through quite a few resources at their first D-Day landings.

If we had the spanish as an ally, it could help --hint.

I will play sometime tonight after work (assuming you wish to keep the game running.)
