Should have mentioned this earlier, but I’m going on vacation for Labor Day. Probably won’t get to move until Tuesday. Have a good weekend.

[max334]

ouch…maybe you shouldn’t take the Malaya transports because I obviously didn’t see the easy kill. The Japan trns, on the other hand, were fair game though. I don’t know, your call.

[surfer]

Um… what do you propose?? It’s kind of ridiculous to say I didn’t see a counter attack. The move earlier with German fleet was somewhat understandable since you prepped the move with Scotland invasion. We all forget to move units… but typically it is noticed before the attack occurs.

I guess I would be amenable to allowing you to keep 14 IPCs to use next turn.

To be honest, I’ve lost many transports in many games because it is hard to keep track of all possible aircraft counter attacks. Annoying for sure, but part of the game.

[max334]

yes, very true, but maybe as a trade off I’ll let you place that US transport in sz10 instead of sz101 where it is an easy kill for the Germans. Don’t think you saw that, but your call. Like you say, its very annoying when you overlook something that’s otherwise very obvious.

[max334]

@max334 …maybe you didn’t anticipate me coming to Canada… but ya, that’s the plan. Since you’re coming to Europe and all…

[max334]

… maybe its a ‘slippery slope’ … you start forgiving one mistake and then another one and then… when or where does it end?
I just have to suck it up, take the hits and keep fighting. It’s scary, because things like that can alter the course of the war. It may jeopardize my Middle East invasion. Bur sorry to ask, it was a knee jerk reaction when I reviewed the map

so a little change in plans…
scramble options for UK and Gibraltar

[surfer]

Ok, figured you couldn’t take US in a meaningful way.
No scramble, either place. I did forget to move a fighter down to Gib. Oh well.

[max334]

Oh yeah, that’s no biggie. I’ll move one down for you when I take Italy’s turn.
