Correct, I should have said, British BRP base **minus uncontrolled KEA's**, minus Commonwealth Base [Or IC's] is zero or less. Just like 39.22 states: 39.22...

I think you're jumping to a conclusion, though, Don. While the Axis may certainly win this game, it is only Su42. There are three more years for the US to...

What is the range for the Murmansk box to Casablanca? German units in Murmansk want to base change there (remaining uninverted as per 21.224) and do so by...
You can't base change from the Murmansk box to Casablanca - only to Bergen, Oslo or Scapa Flow. 5.87 GROUND AND AIR UNITS: A. MOVEMENT: Ground units may not...

I greatly enjoyed the Summer 2006 Ultra. Using the Fuhreer Diretive as a framework for the discusion was an inspired idea. I throw out these observations about...
Another view is that it very difficult for the Axis to accomplish any of this and that if the Axis manage it, the British should suffer instead of getting a...
