I’ve been on the wrong end so many times but the misfortune for the Allies on the US attack of Midway was a key time for the luck to reverse.

The dice hold up well on the Japanese counter that was then possible, and we have a reverse Midway. And an awful lot of fighting to go

The Japs now have but 5 warships on the board, and there are 3 Allied warships in the Pacific. The US also has 5 planes ready to take off from California, and while the Japs have 12, there are still 5 fronts, though each are fairly weak at the mo

It’s all about 6 cities now, and we have a very interesting scenario. A lot has to play out

LOL “this time”, that’s funny

This is why I wanted the German fighter here and then I decided to have it suicide at Iraq. Another sad tale.

So it’s a tough one.

Subs dive, fighters stay on Rome. The destroyer fights alone

You did realize the German bomber on

LOL I didn’t realize I didn’t finish typing. I really didn’t want to surprise you that way.
You’re playing so many games

Change your placement how you want - that’s why I said something

I also have a bomber on Jehol that can reach 25

I do want to remind you, especially because I had made a change in my German NCM with them

“placement” does include movement in this case?

Oh yes that’s what I meant. Play it like you knew the 2 bombers were there the whole time

@gamerman01

very kind! let me reconsider indeed - but I am totally fine with leaving as is, too. Only because I didn’t roll dice I wanna at least take second look … enjoy your meal meanwhile ;)

It’s not too bad for you anyway - Hawaii is surrounded by little green men but please do how you like, it’s what I expected

I’m really happy you appreciate,
Take your time, I sure do

I don’t feel it’s generous, given all circumstances I want you to know what’s there, you certainly would face to face, 1 vs 1

And It’s not a bad move at all what you did, Caro transport can reach Hawaii and it’s very truck to navigate anyway. But still, make sure you get the move you want
