@VictoryFirst Awaiting your bid placement that meets league default rules
(If we’d have bid back and forth for sides, we could have agreed beforehand to alter the rules, but since I’m just giving you 50 they should adhere to league defaults)

Shouldn’t Russian sub in 94 counteract this? I know it’s not in game engine, but seems like it should. 🤔
@Stucifer My recollection is it must be a surface warship.
@Stucifer It does say surface in the OOB rules.
I believe it was changed for Balanced Mod I will check
You’re right, it is a surface warship still. Bugger.

@Stucifer I meant to move 4 of the Bulgaria Germans to Greece and one north this round. Will edit on Italy’s turn if that’s OK, fine if not.
@mikawagunichi Yeah that’s completely reasonable. I can edit when I start US turn
Dropping the ball all over the place here lol. I think in my test turn when I was figuring out placements I must have had the fighters in Hawaii because I saw no way for you to take it. Now I am in quite the bind! If I can keep Japan off the money islands for a couple more turns, though, I think you’ll abandon Hawaii for a more central position…we shall see…🤓

@Stucifer No scramble.
Knowing my tendencies as well as you do, I assumed your strategy to protect Hawaii was to offer me up that 50/50 battle to sink the remainder of the US fleet, which I was strongly tempted to do.
