@robson Looks like the Axis has this one. If you want to finish of round 8, happy to do so. Otherwise, if you want to try your hand at Axis again (and hopefully this time the dice gods favor you in France!), I’m game for another go at this variant. I really appreciate your patience with my slow pace.

[Robson]

@kilroynothere Hey Kilroy , I think we can skip the last round. Congratulations! Would be great to play another round. I will play Axis then. Will start a game tomorrow.

[kilroynothere]

@robson Sounds great. Last game was really enjoyable. Looking forward to our fourth game (and seeing how the Dice Gods are feeling this time)!

[kilroynothere]

@Robson Wanted to let you know I am leaving town on Thursday and will not be back until January 31st. I’m not going to be taking my computer with me so we won’t be able to respond. So take your time on your first move and I’ll catch my move upon my return.

[kilroynothere]

@robson Back in town now! Had a great vacation but unfortunately came home with Covid. Would not have even known except decided to take a test before heading back to the office. So far, hardly can tell I have anything going on. Hope it stays that way. Hope all is well in your world.

[Robson]

@kilroynothere hey man, glad to see that you are back. Thought I wait for your return. Will start with it tomorrow. So far everything is going well here.

[kilroynothere]

@robson Sounds good to me. Looking forward to it.

[kilroynothere]

@robson. I also had trouble with the post on the forum. I’ll check the info, but here is the saved game. Sorry it took so long!

@Robson OK, something is definitely wrong with our gamefile. I can create a new one and manually set up where we are in preparation for Japan 1, OR we can manually upload each time. No idea why, but Java errors keep coming up.

[kilroynothere]

@robson Looks like this is a common problem right now an dis not resolved yet. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37999/play-by-forum-error?_=1645297678210

Looks like we are manually posting for awhile.

[Robson]

@kilroynothere triplea_37995_1jap.tsvg
lets just play like that.

[kilroynothere]

@robson Manually works for me.

[kilroynothere]

@Robson sorry for the delay (as always in my life). Hoping this might distract you from the mess in Ukraine. Very upsetting and makes me angry, very angry. How are sentiments there?

Scramble at Taranto?triplea_37995_1bri-scramble.tsvg

[Robson]

@kilroynothere Hey Kilroy, yes it is terrifying and horrible what happens there. This is just two hours awway with the airplane. It feels like Putin has completely lost his mind. Seems like he is trying to work on his place in the history books. We just hope he stops at the border to Poland and other eastern european countries.

[kilroynothere]

@robson I can only imagine how all of the EU is feeling. Cold War all over again! I sincerely hope that the rest of the free world has the backbone to put in place some very severe sanctions that hurts him directly, just as they have started on his oligarchs. I believe there are only two ways of overthrowing a dictator. Military might, or allow the forces within his country do the work. That means a LOT of pain for those in power there to make a shift. Unfortunately, that will take a lot of time which Ukraine does not have.

[kilroynothere]

@robson Making sure you noticed about the scramble order for the Italians. Posted the game as well. I know I missed your post of the game last time because of the manual method we have to use right now.

[Robson]

Maximum Scramble please :-)

[kilroynothere]

@robson Oh, this game is On! Italians did well at Taranto but lost… one British plane survives. Ouch, but have to.
