G4 2nd ed., no tech: Aev&Wittman vs. Dan&Rasmus

OK, that is totally up to you. Hope luck will even out along the game.

By the way, please wait before moving with Allies, we would probably like to make a few changes to Japan’s non combat movement. We will probably make the changes and upload a new map within an hour.

Another very lucky turn for Axis. Luck in this game seems extgremely one-sided so far, sorry about that. Hope luck turns soon.

Is Rasmustb still playing or are you playing for him? I can only see dane posting the turns.

I noticed that too. Is he away? That is fine, but we would have liked to have been told.
We signed up for a 4 player game and all the eccentricities and disappointments it brings.

you mean you are sitting side by side or is there a way you can do it otherwise?
I thought the Team Game worked(badly), because you cannot team up properly and your plans may not be your allies(see the real WW2).
It makes it a frustrating game, but more realistic. Is much easier when one player plays all the powers obviously.

I am happy to play on, as we have started now. 
It is nice you two have remained friends although you are apart and can enjoy our favourite game.
It is your turn. Enjoy your Sunday guys. (I can’t. The wife has me in the garden.)

No problems with me either! I just wanted a plaussible explanation, because it looked odd. I’m not saying it is odd the way you play, please proceed.
Let us have fun! :-)

OK, we will proceed. My friend Rasmus explained things (btw, we are friends in real life as well). Too bad that we did not discuss this before the game started, guess we just took it for granted that we could play the team game in a coordinated manner (and of course uncoordinated as well, if one prefers that). I agree with Rasmus, if you feel like discontinuing the game at some point just let os now, that is quite allright. For now I assume you prefer to just continue the game like before. We will try to get a German move out as soon as we can.

Regards,
Dan

We have a question: Can air units scramble if only subs attack, AND no defending destroyer is present? (the battleship at England). As I interpret the rules I would think the answer is no. The rules state that air units can only hit submarines if a friendly destroyer is part of the battle. I just got a bit insecure about this since the Triple A software allows scrambling in such situations. But then again, I understand that there are a few rules that the software is not aware of.

They can scramble, but cannot hit anything!
You would have a free sneak if you went in with a Sub.
