G40-03 Ksmckay (Axis -15) vs BigBadBruce (Allies)

[BigBadBruce]

@ksmckay:

Russians kept yelling not ready but the germans cant be fooled three times in a row.

Well,  German are pretty strong… not sure I’ll be able to stop that advance!

[BigBadBruce]

@ksmckay:

Oh, sorry Japan said it declared war on everyone.  I didnt mean Russia… I meant everyone else.  Russia didnt even cross my mind.  Hopefully you are ok with that as I dont see how it would have affected anything and I certainly didnt gain any tactical advantage by saying that.

Heu… sorry, this one does matter to me. I move deep south with USA, specially because I choose to pressure with USA from South and Russia from North (And turtle UK).

I admit, you didn’t gain advantage by annoncing (perhaps) 1 turn too soon… but I did play whole alliance accordingly afterwards  :-(

[ksmckay]

:-(  Ok, I understand.  But it certainly made no sense for me to do it.  No reason for me to every declare war on Russia.  24 ipc swing and worse since I certainly didnt put myself in any sort of tactical setup to do anyting useful.

Japan turns just keep getting worse and worse.  I thought the worst part was that I forgot to roll some Cruiser shots but that amounted to nothing, The worst part of the turn was that I posted it in the wrong thread…

Japan 4 is posted here on page 10 of the thread

Will repost all of the moves and stuff but dont think I can copy the dice.

:lol:  :lol:  :lol:
Nice one!
But I shouldn’t laught that loud… it did happen to me too. No need to copy anything more, I can easily refer to the other thread.

[BigBadBruce]

Ok, I quickly looked at rolls… and yes I would have accept to ignore any “last” dice if those Cruisers would have hit, so you know.
