Allied Turn September 22, 1939 Previous Axis Turn: Frozen in the Arctic. Clear in Europe. Poland is conquered. The Poles manage to do 1 more point of damage to a German Corps and an Army. A German Medium Bomber also takes a hit (for presumably 1 damage). Stalin is wooed by Ribbentrop and moves towards the Axis 9%. Germany dropped 2 major's chits (presuming both against Russia) and got 1 hit immediately. Allied Turn Clear in England. Mud in Europe.

Allied Turn October 14, 1939 Previous Axis Turn: Frozen in the Arctic. Rain & Mud in Europe. 2 German Corps and 1 German Army (all str 8 at level 1) attack the French Army in Metz doing 1 damage, while a German Corps takes 1 damage back. German diplomats are as prolific as their military as they butter up Prince Paul of Yugoslavia by 13%. Allied Turn Clear in England. Clear in Europe. In the Spirit of Free Speach the French Government declines to Ban the Communist Party. Stalin decides to show a little bit of a backbone and refuses the Ribbentrop's proposal to revise the treaty borders. Stalin then shocks the west by declaring war on Finland, though claiming it is just a minor border dispute. French high command continues slowly reinforcing units along the French/German border. The Army in Metz recieves a double serving. French and English diplomats are sent out to counter German activity. Churchill grumbles that England should not be playing verbal catchup, but should instead be investing in the armed forces. Chamberlain, however, has the votes. Parliment, at Neville Chamberlain prompting, also denies Churchill's proposal to seize the southern Irish ports. German Subs/Raiders inflict 25 MPP worth of losses on the UK. -------- Reports Info USA 22% USSR 11% IT 68% Yugoslavia 58% Axis UK 99% Morale USA 100% Morale USSR 100% Morale FR 89% Morale IT 100% Morale GE 102% Morale UK 0 MPP in combat losses USA 0 MPP in combat losses USSR 0 MPP in combat losses FR 25 MPP in combat losses GE 375 MPP in combat losses IT 0 MPP in combat losses UK 72 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders USSR 0 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 29 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing (0 Allied damage to bombers) IT 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing UK 0 MPP on Units, 450 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech USA 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 150 MPP on Tech USSR 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech FR 234 MPP on Units, 100 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech GE 385 MPP on Units, 575 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech IT 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 225 MPP on Tech UK Income: 237 MPP US Income: 67 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) USSR Income: 26 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) FR Income: 129 MPP GE Income: 236 MPP (estimate) IT Income: 73 MPP Total Allied Income: 459 MPP Total Axis Income: ~ 309 MPP (estimate) *Note I believe Income includes losses from subs/raiders/strat bombing as well as DE expenditures GE 28 Land Units, 6 Air Units, 10 Naval Units IT 15 Land Units, 2 Air Units, 11 Naval Units UK 12 Land Units, 3 Air Units, 23 Naval Units USA 3 Land Units, 1 Air Units USSR 25 Land Units, 1 Air Units, 3 Naval Units FR 25 Land Units, 2 Air Units, 7 Naval Units

Wow, the diplomatic front is quite chaotic. [X(] Given the short timelines to flip Yugo, I'm not sure its worth to try to sway them if you are not doing it exclusively and at full force. [&:]

Allied Turn November 5, 1939 Previous Axis Turn: Frozen in the Arctic. Clear in Europe. The German 1st Army (Str 8, lvl 1) again assaults the French 3rd Army (Str 7) in Metz. Both Armies take 1 damage. Germany invests in another Major Power Diplo chit. Allied Turn Rain in England. Rain in Europe. French high command decides to act on reports of mediocre morale amongst the German 1st Army (Str 7, lvl 1, Readiness 48%, Morale 61%) and launches the Saar offensive. The French 4th (str 7), 5th (str 9) and 3rd (str 6) Armies counter attack the German 1st doing 5 damage, while each of the French Armies takes 1. The Germans (str 2) retreat to the northeast, and the French VI Corps (Str 8) moves forward and occupies the Saar mines, if only temporarily.** The French 3rd Army (str 5) then pulls out of Metz and is replaced by the fresher XI Corp (Str 8) via hex swap. In the Atlantic HMS Jersey surprises U-35 in the stormy weather, with HMS Jersey taking 1 damage and the U-boat 2. HMS Javelin then finds U-32 a little to the southwest of U-35 and forces the submarine to dive. The UK again counters the German MP Diplo chit. German Subs/Raiders inflict ?? MPP worth of losses on the UK on the Canadian and Indian convoy lines. * Was hoping for bad weather on his late November turn. Don't think I got it. -------- * Allied Income levels are from last turn, I was distracted and unable to write down the amounts when the turn ended.

Allied Turn November 27, 1939 Previous Axis Turn: Mud in Europe. The French VI Corps in Saar valley is destroyed by combined air and land attacks.* French Fighters engage German escorts and exchange hits, while taking an extra hit from the German TAC bombers themselves. A German Corps takes a point of damage in the fighting as well. Germany recaptures the Saar mines, although extensive work will be needed to get them fully operational again (i.e. reduced to 0). Another German Tactical bomber strikes the the French Corps in Metz doing a point of damage. The French Army in Strasbourg is attacked by 2 German Corps, one taking 2 damage and the other 1. The French Army takes only 1 damage. Allied Turn Clear in England. Clear in Europe. France continues with the reinforcing of her land units. HMS Jersey (Str 9) finds U-47 and does 2 damage to the U-boat while not getting hit back. HMCS Saguenay, enroute to help HMS Jersey, finds U-32 does 1 point of damage to the sub and nimbly dodges the counter strike (i.e. Damage Evaded). HMS Javelin forces U-47 to dive, but quickly finds her. The French Destroyer Terrible takes her turn and does 2 damage to U-47. German subs/raiders inflict 23 MPP damage on the India Convoy line. Soviets lose 5% Mobilization upon starting hostilities with Finland. -------- * If I had known the Luftwaffe wouldn't be grounded I wouldn't have advanced into the Saar. It was a gamble that I lost. With all this good November weather, I can only hope that Spring will be rainy and muddy into mid May. -------- Reports Info USA 22% USSR 6% IT 68% Yugoslavia 58% Axis UK 99% Morale USA 100% Morale USSR 100% Morale FR 88% Morale IT 100% Morale GE 101% Morale UK 16 MPP in combat losses USA 0 MPP in combat losses USSR 0 MPP in combat losses FR 320 MPP in combat losses GE 763 MPP in combat losses IT 0 MPP in combat losses UK 136 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders USSR 0 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 58 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing (0 Allied damage to bombers) IT 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing UK 216 MPP on Units, 625 MPP on Diplomacy, 150 MPP on Tech USA 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 150 MPP on Tech USSR 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech FR 395 MPP on Units, 150 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech GE 657 MPP on Units, 750 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech IT 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 375 MPP on Tech UK Income: 256 MPP US Income: 67 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) USSR Income: 14 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) FR Income: 128 MPP GE Income: 230 MPP (estimate) IT Income: 73 MPP Total Allied Income: 465 MPP Total Axis Income: ~ 303 MPP (estimate) *Note I believe Income includes losses from subs/raiders/strat bombing as well as DE expenditures GE 28 Land Units, 6 Air Units, 10 Naval Units IT 15 Land Units, 2 Air Units, 11 Naval Units UK 12 Land Units, 3 Air Units, 23 Naval Units USA 3 Land Units, 1 Air Units USSR 25 Land Units, 1 Air Units, 3 Naval Units FR 24 Land Units, 2 Air Units, 7 Naval Units

Allied Turn December 19, 1939 Previous Axis Turn: Frozen in Europe. French Fighters engage German Medium Bombers and German escort Fighters over Strasbourg. The French fighters take 2 hits in the engagement, while the German bombers take 1. The 4th Army in Strasbourg doesn't loose any strength. 2 German Tactical bombers then strike the Army in Strasbourg and do 2 damage, bringing it to a strength of 4. A German Army then moves in and takes 1 damage assaulting the city. A German Corps tries its luck on Metz and damages itself 1 point. The 2 known subs in the Atlantic flee from the combined destroyers. Allied Turn Rain in England. Mud in Europe. France shuffles the line a bit along the Maginot, hex swaping the 4th Army with the 8th to the South and continues with the reinforcing of her land units.

Allied Turn January 20, 1940 Previous Axis Turn: Frozen in Europe. The Germans launch an all out assault on the French 8th Army (Str 8) in Strausbourg. Most of the damage is done by 2 TAC bombers, and the final point by a Medium bomber. German losses are simply 1 point to a German Army.* Allied Turn Frozen & Snow in England. Snow & Frozen in Europe. Franch units continue to dig in and get reinforced. The French Destroyer Terrible finds U-32 (Str 9) on the Iraqi convoy line and does 2 damage to the sub while taking 1 back.** Russia decides that it would be a good thing if each man in the army had a rifle. The merchant captains are pleased at no other sign of raiders or subs. -------- * More annoying than the loss of the Army and the city was the 24% morale hit for 'Germans advancing'. ** A little (on a minor issue) luck on my side for stumbling into the sub and on coming out ahead). -------- Reports Info USA 22% USSR 6% IT 68% Yugoslavia 58% Axis Spain 01% Axis Norway 11% Axis UK 99% Morale USA 100% Morale USSR 100% Morale FR 64% Morale IT 100% Morale GE 101% Morale UK 16 MPP in combat losses USA 0 MPP in combat losses USSR 0 MPP in combat losses FR 671 MPP in combat losses GE 911 MPP in combat losses IT 0 MPP in combat losses UK 136 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders USSR 0 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 88 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing (0 Allied damage to bombers) IT 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing UK 441 MPP on Units, 675 MPP on Diplomacy, 400 MPP on Tech USA 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 325 MPP on Tech USSR 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 200 MPP on Tech FR 644 MPP on Units, 150 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech GE 1,078 MPP on Units, 800 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech IT 150 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 375 MPP on Tech UK Income: 273 MPP US Income: 67 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) USSR Income: 14 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) FR Income: 128 MPP GE Income: 235 MPP (estimate) IT Income: 73 MPP Total Allied Income: 482 MPP Total Axis Income: ~ 308 MPP (estimate) *Note excluding DE costs from Allied Income listed above.

Allied Turn March 2, 1940 Previous Axis Turn: Frozen in Europe. The Germans assault the XI Corps (Str 8) in Metz and destroy it at the following cost: 1 hit on a Tactical bomber, 1 damage to 2 Panzers and 1 damage to a Corps. The German sub slips away in 'Silent Mode' avoiding a confrontation with a UK Destroyer she encounters while moving away from Terrible. Germany annexes Lithuania. Germany declares war on Luxemburg and seizes the tiny country. Allied Turn Frozen in England. Frozen in Europe. A French Army moves into Metz. France continues to reinforce units. No encounters in the Atlantic, and no raiding either. Finland capitulates to Stalin's demand for territory. Stalin is alarmed by German aggression, most notably for seizing Lithuania and denying it from the Soviets (+8% for Lithuania & +3% for Luxemburg) USA newspapers pick up on plight of Luxemburg causing some grumbling (+2%), but the Lithuania situation is delegated to the back pages and ignored. -------- So my opponent got to use his planes on all 3 Fall and Winter turns.

Taxman66 -> RE: Tourney AAR Taxman66 (Allied) vs. IrishGuards (Axis) (7/2/2018 1:05:36 AM)
Allied Turn April 3, 1940 Previous Axis Turn: Mud in Europe. U-32 (Str 7) is surprised by the French Destroyer Terrible (Str 9) west of Medeira, the sub takes 2 damage and the DD 1 in the encounter. Better yet the sub's position is radio'd to the rest of the fleet. The French 3rd Army (Str 9) in Metz is destroyed at the minimal cost of 1 damage to a German Army. The French 5th Army (Str 8), in the hills southwest of Strasbourg, takes 5 damage and accounts far better of itself doing 1 damage to both a German Army and a Corps as well as scoring hits on both a Medium Bomber and a Tactical Bomber. French Communists spread antiwar propoganda (-2% Morale). Something odd with the German naval count, as it went down from 10 to 8 without having anything actually sunk. Has Germany scrapped naval units for MPP? Allied Turn Clear in England. Clear in Europe. Parliment passes a resolution turning the L.D.V. into the Home Guard. French DD Terrible (Str 8) forces U-32 (Str 5) to dive, then hunts around and finds the sub. French DD Jaguar (Str 10) then strikes U-32 for 2 damage, while taking 1 back and then moves off. The French make do with the mess of the Maginot. The French Communists continue to make a nuisence of themselves (-?% Morale) for 2 turns in a row. -------- * I think some hexes changed ownership after I hit End Turn, that I wasn't expecting. In the brief glimpse it looked like the French Corps between Metz and Strasbourg suddenly got cut off. That doesn't seem right as France has just as much ZOC on those hexes behind the Corps as the Germans do. I'm really wishing now that I hadn't advanced the Corps into the Saar and had been quicker on the ball regarding moving the starting HQ down to the Maginot line. Also wishing I had the 50 MPP back France spent on an 'extra' Diplo chit. -------- Reports Info USA 24% USSR 17% IT 73% Yugoslavia 58% Axis Spain 01% Axis Norway 18% Axis UK 100% Morale USA 100% Morale USSR 100% Morale FR 62% Morale Before End of Turn Commie unrest IT 100% Morale GE 101% Morale UK 16 MPP in combat losses USA 0 MPP in combat losses USSR 0 MPP in combat losses FR 1,177 MPP in combat losses GE 1,259 MPP in combat losses IT 0 MPP in combat losses UK 136 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders USSR 0 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 120 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing (0 Allied damage to bombers) IT 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing UK 938 MPP on Units, 675 MPP on Diplomacy, 400 MPP on Tech USA 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 500 MPP on Tech USSR 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 200 MPP on Tech FR 874 MPP on Units, 150 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech GE 1,339 MPP on Units, 800 MPP on Diplomacy, 200 MPP on Tech IT 150 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 525 MPP on Tech UK Income: 295 MPP US Income: 73 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) USSR Income: 41 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) FR Income: 130 MPP GE Income: 255 MPP (estimate) IT Income: 77 MPP Total Allied Income: 539 MPP Total Axis Income: ~ 332 MPP (estimate) Note excluding DE costs from Allied Income listed above.

Taxman66 -> RE: Tourney AAR Taxman66 (Allied) vs. IrishGuards (Axis) (7/3/2018 12:01:39 AM)
Yes. Germany has been investing heavily in units as well as diplo chits vs. USSR. Additionally, I was probably over aggressive in miving into the Saar mines and the Luftwaffe has never been grounded by the fall/winter/spring weather. In the other hand his tech investment is only 200mpp so far, and while he hasn't lost a unit in France I think his mpp damage is higher than normal.

YohanTM -> RE: Tourney AAR Taxman66 (Allied) vs. IrishGuards (Axis) (7/3/2018 12:33:04 AM)
if you can keep his tech investment down that will help the mid to late war. If he forces USSR diplomacy down though you're going to struggle as he will take both Med and GB.

Taxman66 -> RE: Tourney AAR Taxman66 (Allied) vs. IrishGuards (Axis) (7/3/2018 1:01:36 AM)
USSR diplomacy chits are currently stabilized. He did get a 9% hit on the first turn he invested, but he has also annexed Lithuania which brought back 8% of it. All the numbers for everything are in my posts. Have to start finishing my turn now.

YohanTM -> RE: Tourney AAR Taxman66 (Allied) vs. IrishGuards (Axis) (7/3/2018 1:04:08 AM)
Interesting. if I got that 9% hit I would not have annexed Lithuania

Allied Turn April 25, 1940 Previous Axis Turn: Mud in Europe. Note that there may be some inaccuracies in the combat results below. Germany takes Denmark and Norway. Germany declares war on Belgium. The US is shocked by German aggression against Norway and Belgium (+7%) and the USSR by Belgium (+3%). Italy moves closer to joining Germany but is not there yet (+12%). Brittish Fighters engage in major air to air conflicts over Brussles. They take a heavy toll (6 dmg) but manage to damage 2 German Fighters and a Tactical Bomber. In addition, the Medium Bombers took a hit from ground fire. In the end Brussels is left open and is conquered by German paratroopers who suffer 1 damage in the drop mostly due to accidents. The German army engages some other parts of the Belgian forces without taking any additional casaulties, however northern Belgium, including Antwerp, is not directly occupied by German troops in the invasion. Belgium then surrenders at the end of the turn. A German Army (str 9) advances on Nancy and attacks the xx Corps (str 8). French Corps takes 3 damage and does 1 back. Tactical Bombers strike the French xx Army (str 10) in Verdun and do a point of damage while taking a hit themselves from the Army/City. The French xx Corps (str 10) northwest of Verdun comes under heavy attack and is forced to retreat further to the northwest at minimal strength (1). They only inflict 1 point of damage to a German Corps in the fighting. The French xx Army (str 10) at the xxx mines between Verdun and Luxembourg also suffers 9 damage in fighting but is made of sterner stuff as they hold their ground and inflicting the following damage to the attacking Germans: 2 dmg GE Army, 2 dmg GE Corps, 1 dmg GE Panzer. Another German paratrooper lands southwest of Verdun without suffering any casaulties. A German sub is spotted east of Gibralter, heading east. U-32 in Silent mode appears to escape a net of French and German destroyers. Allied Turn Clear in England. Clear in Europe. France suffers more morale damage as the Germans advance and 'outflank the maginot' -4%*. France orders an organized retreat as they continue sending reinforcements. The losses are however outpacing the replacements. The half strength sub that snuck away is not found, nor are there any other naval engagements. The UK suffers morale loss with Belgium's surrender. The UK launch Operation Valentine and seize the Faroe islands. The USA passes the Cash and Carry Bill. -------- I think France will likely go down early, in exchange I believe Germany is taking a larger than normal amount of damage even if they haven't (and likely won't) loose any units. This is due in part to a very aggressive German attack and the ability to freely use the Luftwaffe all Fall, Winter and Spring. Do subs not loose movement points in silent mode when encountering unseen naval units? ** By a paradrop into an out of supply hex? That seems a cheesy trigger for that event. I don't blame the paradrop, just the trigger conditions. -------- Reports Info USA 31% USSR 20% IT 85% Yugoslavia 58% Axis Spain 01% Axis Norway 18% Axis forgot to check this UK 100% Morale Before loss of Belgium event USA 100% Morale USSR 100% Morale FR 58% Morale IT 100% Morale GE 101% Morale UK 182 MPP in combat losses USA 0 MPP in combat losses USSR 0 MPP in combat losses FR 2,157 MPP in combat losses GE 1,662 MPP in combat losses IT 0 MPP in combat losses UK 136 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders USSR 0 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 156 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing (0 Allied damage to bombers) IT 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing UK 1,202 MPP on Units, 675 MPP on Diplomacy, 400 MPP on Tech USA 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 500 MPP on Tech USSR 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 200 MPP on Tech FR 966 MPP on Units, 150 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech GE 1,369 MPP on Units, 800 MPP on Diplomacy, 200 MPP on Tech IT 150 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 525 MPP on Tech UK Income: 308 MPP US Income: 95 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) USSR Income: 49 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) FR Income: 130 MPP GE Income: 275 MPP (estimate) IT Income: 90 MPP Total Allied Income: 582 MPP Total Axis Income: ~ 365 MPP (estimate) *Note excluding DE costs from Allied Income listed above.

End of last German Turn. France in a lot of trouble, will probably fall mid June unless the plan is 'All of France'. Due to some mistakes on my part, some luck on his (with the weather), a willingness to take damage, and a heavy commitment to building units early (Germany is up to 39 land units).

Allied Turn May 17, 1940 Previous Axis Turn: Clear in Europe. A flood of new German land units (they have 39 now) combine with the Luftwaffe and destroy 3 French Armies (although one was at 1 strength), 2 Corps and a UK Corps. Germany takes Verdun, Nancy and Reims. Additionally they empty Chalons but are do not take the city yet. German casaulties are relatively light: A hit on 2 Figthers (over Reims and Nancy from UK & French Fighters), 1 dmg to Corps attacking Chalons, 1 dmg to an Army attacking Reims, 1 dmg to a Panzer Grenadier and 1 dmg to a Corps at Nancy and 3 dmg to a Panzer versus the British Corps. UK morale is boosted as Chamberlain is sacked and Churchill become Prime Minister. French morale falls as the Germans approach Paris. The UK take control of Iceland via Operation Fork. The Germans reroute the Norwegian convoy. Allied Turn Clear in England. Clear in Europe. French bombers attack a low morale (str 7) German XXVII Corps northease of Lille, and are escorted by UK Fighters. German interceptors from Verdun engage: UK FTR -2, FR Bmbr -2, GE FTR -1, GE Corps -2. The B.E.F. in Lille then attacks the XXVII Corps (str 5), and does 2 damage while taking 1 back. The B.E.F. then evac out of Lille and head north. The French 1st Army then moves into Lille and shatters the XXVII Corps. France then builds a screen around Paris. -------- France is unlikely to last through 2 more German turns, unless the plan is 'All France'. -------- Reports Info USA 31% USSR 20% IT 85% Yugoslavia 58% Axis Spain 01% Axis UK 102% Morale USA 100% Morale USSR 100% Morale FR 51% Morale IT 100% Morale GE 101% Morale UK 510 MPP in combat losses USA 0 MPP in combat losses USSR 0 MPP in combat losses FR 3,153 MPP in combat losses GE 2,094 MPP in combat losses IT 0 MPP in combat losses UK 136 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders USSR 0 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 156 MPP lost to Subs/Raiders GE 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing (0 Allied damage to bombers) IT 0 MPP lost to Strategic Bombing UK 1,415 MPP on Units, 675 MPP on Diplomacy, 400 MPP on Tech USA 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 700 MPP on Tech USSR 0 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 200 MPP on Tech FR 1,070 MPP on Units, 150 MPP on Diplomacy, 0 MPP on Tech GE 1,373 MPP on Units, 800 MPP on Diplomacy, 550 MPP on Tech IT 186 MPP on Units, 0 MPP on Diplomacy, 525 MPP on Tech UK Income: 299 MPP US Income: 95 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) USSR Income: 50 MPP (excluding Lend Lease) FR Income: 115 MPP GE Income: 340 MPP (estimate) IT Income: 92 MPP Total Allied Income: 559 MPP Total Axis Income: ~ 432 MPP (estimate) *Note excluding DE costs from Allied Income listed above.

quote: Dunno what he's bought but it doesn't look like its tanks. Looking at the unit count, I guess air. His turn prior to last, you'll note he went from 31 land units to 39. There may be an extra Panzer, I can't keep track that well as I try and write down damage. I did see a Mech because it took a point of damage around Nancy.
