The Germans declare war on the Netherlands. The Us don't see this as any concern of theirs (a 5 is thrown).

Can the CW confirm set up of the Dutch please?

I will return with the Dutch setup in a few minutes.

GeneralAdvance -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (2/25/2020 9:50:26 AM)

Testing, testing
This is GeneralAdvance playing France, finally doing the first post on the forum.[:)]
Since the western front is already heating up I thought I would start do some posting now and then.
As Orm stated earlier I haven´t played the game in some twenty years or so, and I´m just getting the hang of all the new optional rules regarding oil and stuff.
Orm and Peskpesk have given me some advice but I´m not much of a listener, although I hope troops for the BEF will keep pouring into France and Belgium.[;)]
Anyway, glad to be back playing World in flames and trying my best to hold the Wehrmacht off for another few months.




Orm -> RE: News From the Front - 4 player game (2/25/2020 2:51:10 PM)

Losses for the turn, November/December 1939.

Edit: Not shown in the picture is the French cruiser that is lost in the Baltic Sea during the return to base.
