Still, I apologize for the wait, friend
I am not scrambling there
I know for me it’s hard to wait to roll UK1 dice, have fun and hopefully I get a hit or two in!
my first impression is, I dont encourage J1… but maybe i do. i havent seen a J1 Hawaii move in a decade or so, so I need some time to consider. Are you Magnus Carlsen??? Trying to outplay me from day one 1 by doing odd moves???
@oysteilo I did refrain from sending a destroyer to NSW
A major reason not to do J1 is to hit Yunnan with everything. I know about the stack Yunnan strategy but I don’t think I’ve seen THAT for a decade
MAP
There is an island off Amur that is divided between sz 5 and 6 and is half soviet and half japan.
it is a change but I think it has little to none practical meaning except special play. Any other weird things you see?
I did attach the map
My Jap airplanes are flying out over the Pacific, with Pearl Harbor in sight. They’re running out of fuel! Do the boys wake up and get in their Hawaii planes, interrupting their vacation, or do they sleep in?
Yeah, the half and half island is fine - cut off by the sea zone. No game play meaning
Pacific zones, Russia and China territory shapes will take time to get used to
Still waiting in suspense for Philippines fighter and two Hawaii fighters.
Maybe you should send up 1 Hawaii fighter to diversify.
no scramble anywhere
@oysteilo Good call - now let’s see what the dice say about all this nonsense
A little unlucky for me so far.
Lost 2 infantry in Phi and only got 2 hits in Hawaii
Even the destroyer at Z35 hit, but was ABSORBED :D
I need to ask for casualties at Z26
I don’t like that you can’t clearly see the units that are in battle at the top of the window.
sorry for the delay, its comimg up in a min or two
Hearts are gone :(
Now just a chevron
There are no count numbers by the units in the battle box either… Guess I should start making a list
kill sub and destroyer
Why are you so lucky against me?
Your sub hits, and you get another besides.
Whew, order restored with 2nd round
GAA
I’m lucky in Hunnan, but you get an extra shot from Hong Kong, and of course, IT HITS lol
Bah. Cruisers, who needs them?
OK, here’s my flying in the fog J1, complete with key Allied hits!
Big miss by your cruiser round 2 in Z26 that saves me a tac
One + of a J1 is eliminating the American fighter on the Philippines but it scores a thundering hit
Also a huge one by the UK battleship
But certainly no disaster
