Jess is a real pro...so watch out for him. ;)
He has that "go for the throat" attitude when he fights. No mercy....as you can see, he has this terrible urge to kill me for some reason. :)

Anyway...welcome once more...look forward to the posts.

Get your butt over to the Hall of Fame, and look up 'Screen Names', then participate!;)

Jess, HE wanted to be Germany, let him! Shame on you.;)

Op fire is automatic in PBEM games, so carefully pick the ranges for your units, as they will fire on enemy units at the set range.

Goblin- A Goblin chides Jess:D

I stongly recommend not taking Italy. I played against them and they have nice equipment but they are terrible. They never rally and quite often just will not fire, or so my opponent told me. We had a meeting engagment between British and Italy which ended with a DV for me as the British after five turns!

So a word to the wise if you don't want to end up with a bad taste in your mouth take one of the major countries to start.

These countries have very poor morale (although Russia is not as bad...but still no match for Finns/Poles/Germans in 1939) and very hard to control.
Gary is also right in saying their combat factors leave a lot to be desired. For once they get hit hard and take surpression points... you will see them flee the scene rather than shoot back. :( And God help you when they go to routed status! :eek:
On the flip side...it is a challenge. :) Good luck.
