Just to confirm, a Jpn tank NCM thru formerly Rus terr north of and adjacent to Mong, that is now Ger controlled, doesn’t activate the Mongolian rule, because the rule specifies Rus controlled terr.  Please confirm.

[Colt45554]

Confirm. If for some reason we are wrong we can edit tank to elsewhere

How were the US figs in sz110 allowed to attack Ger, which is 3 spaces away?  They couldn’t land in 4 spaces.  But the dice were great for me.

[Colt45554]

OOL again, please. I bought 2 carriers which could be placed in 113 but game didn’t make me place them there as I intended because of course the planes died as i expected. I was working on a work thing while I waited for OOL so i forgot the second reason I was gonna place cvs in 113 which was for Brits.

[Colt45554]

@Colt45:

I bought 2 carriers which could be placed in 113 but game didn’t make me place them there as I intended

I typed that a little confusingly bought I wanted all along for cvs to be placed in 113 but in my distraction I stacked 112 accidentally. If i still had remaining figs, it should have forced me to place in 113.

best d, bomber, inf, tb.    I knew that existing planes could land NCM on new cv’s, but thought that they had to qualify w/o the build.

Just when Ger gets this big cash income, Bri takes my capital and takes Rus’ cash.  Things were going so well.  The air base and the cv build in Nor were smart moves.  I can take Ger back, but the loss of cash will doom me.  Probably not worth continuing.

[Colt45554]

It was one of our funnest matches yet. I was having so much fun in China but got complacent with Yunnan stack(and Bryansk) and those two battles hurt greatly.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

It is tough when you lose your capitol.  Those 1-2 punches from US & UK can be much more powerful than you would expect.  I think that you will do much better on your fourth try, Rommel, when you make a couple of minor improvements in your early game.  Your gameplay has vastly improved.
