That is music to my ears.
Finally (referring to all other games recently) my luck has returned

It’s pretty exciting to have my first tech in 12 years…

Your fighter on India is holding up the action!

Does it scramble to 39?

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 Yes, I will scramble. Rule Brittania!

[gamerman01]

It’s only J3 and the Sino-Russo front has been a bloodbath.
The survivors grapple to determine…

WHO WILL HOLD ULANBATAAAAAR?!

[gamerman01]

Wife wants to eat and go for a drive.
The World is at War and history hangs in the balance.
I guess history has to wait.
An Axis and Allies board is no match for a wife. Or a cat.

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 haha! Well as my Marine friend tells me, most of war is “hurry up and wait”, which I think play by post gets accurate…🤣🤣

Enjoy the drive! 😉

[Stucifer]

I have to say BM/PtV have really spoiled me on just how much more space there is between some of the objectives like Moscow and Berlin; India and Japan. I’m not respecting the Axis enough and it’s already looking a bit grim to my eye

After a miserable first round attack roll and a good 2nd round roll, the allies have 1 unit remaining in Z39

I don’t want to assume on this one, could be ANZ fighter, UK fighter, UK battleship

First round the mighty Japanese only scored 2 hits, so damaged the capital ships.

Will most likely need a casualty choice in Mongolia too, you might be able to give me advanced instructions to facilitate play, or not.

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 the battleship will survive

[Stucifer]

Max Defense in Ulaanbaatar. Lose the us bomber first.

Thank you much for timely answers, will be nice to be able to complete my move without a delay ->

The game history is a mess, sorry

Precious few times playing Axis in the last several years

You took down 6 planes and almost 7
I guess I destroyed 7 aircraft

Looks like you and I know how to fight a war!
Clear out all those extra units, then easier to move.

[gamerman01]

I’ve always been more comfortable operating with 10 planes than 20.
Played a lot of games in the AA50 days.

[gamerman01]

Watch your income collection for India.
TripleA says you’ll collect 11 but it looks like it should be 14. It’s like it’s not counting the Celebes or something.

Last turn looks OK.
