Country: | It's Jan. 1938 on mine ... I built nothing but factories, and brought in all supplies by trade to save some IC to build more factories. Playing as Britain is hard - it's easy to defend Britain itself ... but holding on to Africa and Asia is ****in' solid ... prepare for a mean war at sea.
