One Question. Do we play with or without tech? Not that I’m inclined to tech any time soon if it continues like that.

You can use tech, I never have out of preference. It is in the game and I don’t mind if it enhances your experience. Your choice.

Sorry about that kind of luck, I just wanted to clear as many subs as possible for a possible UK National Objective. It was a great risk as you could have cleared all of the UK fighters.

Also, it didn’t come up this time, but after the final round of combat, its ok if you or any defender want to change your order of loss after seeing earlier rounds results…For example, say you pressed a single fighter to sink the BB, if I was playing live, I would lose the Ftr and keep the BB in 111, the OOL was assuming you hit 3 times round 1, since you got 2, the final round if the ftr hits, I would declare my ftr lost, then roll to see if I keep the BB. Make sense? After any battle, the final round defender hits are subject to abnormal OOL, lets say for expediency UK was defending in Africa and you chose to remove the mech and leave me with an artillery…On UK’s turn, I would say, I’ll keep the mech and lose the artillery instead…then post the rest of the move…this saves time and prevents waiting each final round for small issues. Is that ok? I can craft more elaborate OOL or say, “if this happens, ask”…or we can try this method.

I’m pretty laid back, I even let an opponent re-roll a terrible battle in a tournament in the interest of having fun…I didn’t want to win on his bad rolls turn 1. This game I took a big risk, so I’ll accept the outcome but if things get too lopsided we can redo some later battles.

USSR 1: I’m going to try something weird with the allies. This could be an easy win for you, we’ll know by round 9.

Oh I just noticed I forgot to kill the Guys that died in the bombard. I can reroll the second round with 4 Dice or Subtract the last 3 Shots from your second round which are unfortunately for me all misses. I suppose you’d prefer the latter and under the circumstances I don’t have a problem with that.

Ok this partially restores me for the bad luck on G1:

By the way I’m fine with your OOL proposition.

[JamesAleman]

There is no problem with the Bombard…units get to defend from Bombard in G40 any version.

I’m glad Amur soothes the pain from G1. :) Its a gamble, I’ve seen it hurt Japan, plus although I got a couple less land units, I’ll take any Japanese air I can get :)

Also, since we are neutral, you can dock in Hollywood and I’ll show you around. Hawaii is nice this time of year :) (sz26 is perfectly legal) Don’t forget to bring your camera to take some tourists shots of Peal Harbor.

Oh yeah Hawai really is somthing worth seeing. would you mind stepping away from that aircraftcarrier? I want to make a picture for my family. honestly.
Thanks for the UK DOW without actually doing somthing about it.
No aggression twoard Italy or Germany now I have to revive thoughts about Sealion again after I happily abandoned the thought after that desastrous first round.
Would you mind telling me how you got 3 Units to Cpr in oneTransport. Isuppose they are all from Alexandria so I think I just put one Inf from there to Egypt for the Italian turn.

[Nothing to see here]

I’m probably at work until 15:00 MEST so about 08:00 in St. Louis I have probably no acces to battlemap there and also have to think I while on Italy. Ah now I saw where those to Inf in Cpr were comin from forget I mentioned it.
