"While primarily declared as a U.S.-Australian bilateral biennial exercise, Talisman Sabre also involves the participation of numerous partner nations in the drills, making it as multinational exercise led by the U.S. and Australia. The 11th iteration of the drills is the largest in the series to date."
Well this iteration of, "Talisman Sabre" will be conducted by 1 US & 1 Australian, but will involve, some say engulf, the entire world.
I will be playing the axis vs
my allied opponent codename "ssiviour".
My codename is "Ronnie", which is very original of me.
This will be a Global War scenario, using version 5.0.0.1 and the following optional rules

Italian Setup
Scrap.
(1) I couldn't decide whether or not to scrap one of the two 3-3 TRS in order to ensure that I got the 4-3 TRS.
(2) In the end I decided not to and risk the 33% chance that I wouldn't draw the 4-3 TRS (i.e., I would draw both 3-3 TRS).
(3) I played the odds and lost.
(4) I got both 3-3 TRS and will have to build the 4-3 TRS if I want it!

Axis Observations of Allied Setups (Censored).
(1) I spent my hobby time yesterday and today (so far) examining in detail my allied opponent (ssiviour) setups.
(2) I've documented my findings in rev12 of my AAR excel spreadsheet.
(3) Unlike my other on-going AAR, which is solo, I wouldn't be publishing those findings and other sensitive combat logs publicly, for obvious reasons.
(4) If there's any interest I will be willing to share those and other confidential (e.g., Axis WAR Directives) in a
pro-Axis WhatsApp Chat group.
(5)
If interested please PM me with your WhatApp's contact number and I'll establish such a group (i.e., confidential axis-only observers group) that includes you.
(6) Be warn though, if you leak axis confidential to the other side then you will be banished from the group and assigned to a League of Nation's observer group.
(7) If the leak is grievous enough, not only will you be banished from the pro-axis observers group; but you'll be installed as Germany's, Italy's or Japan's ambassador to the League of Nations.

(8) I've included the latest iteration (rev 12) of my EXCEL based AAR spreadsheet.
(9) Now I'm off to Japan's setup, including writing their initial WAR directives.
(10) Then next, Germany's for both.

My intelligence services are warning me of your background and at this time are unable to clear you as you are my allied opponent.

I'm Switzerland. So neutral...
I'm just wondering: are you two using netplay? And it's about time you are going to be playing against a human player.

No, we're not using netplay. We playing "solo mode" and using WhatsApp to communicate, pass game files & screen CAPs around. I've personally found this method the most stable for multiplayer and can readily accommodate more than 2 players (e.g., 3,4,5 or even 6). The only downside I see to this method is that chits can't be kept private.
