The random events feel planned... One turn morale is low, so no new recruits so I have to convert some of my extra workers into pilots so that I have fighters for the net turn. But on the next turn My workers come down with some strange illness that makes it so I have no new planes! This happened twice. You know what's awesome? Attempting to fend off the Germans with only 3 spitfires.
Had a turn where I trained German spies as double agents (+10 spies). The very next turn the Germans broke up one of my spy rings (-10 spies) in addition to the 10% spies they usually catch for a net of -13 spies that turn. Coincidence? I think not!
