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.
