I updated before the last FSO to be switched to Allies and was still on Axis.

Sir we as CM's try to put squads where they ask. But we do have to make decisions based on balancing the sides. Hopefully we can accommodate your squad next go round. <S>

I was just curious is all. Was not meant to be a complaint Sir. We in the Bad Guys appreciate all the CM's hard work.

As an Admin, I always try to make sure squads who did not get their request last month get it this month. Usually, there are only 1-3 squads that will get the side they did not request. For me, those squads are ones that have gotten their request a few months in a row. As the Admin this month, I can tell you the you will get what you request if you did not last month.

For some reason I was thinking this would be on the western front in europe. Never really heard of this operation before.

Funny that my first google result was something totally different than the solomon islands:
