Well, I’m sure those lonely German transports will come in handy at some point?

[mainah]

@Stough
The med is yours. They will be very handy.

[mainah]

All the good rolls are getting used up in test play. In all my games lately.

[Stough]

I should send you the link to a game I was playing. Oh, you can look it up. Nate vs Todd

He was attacking my navy in Java. He should have won with 8.5 planes remaining. His rolls were so bad, I ended up with 6 planes and a wounded battleship . If that was me, I would have physically thrown up after those rolls. Easily the worst rolls I have ever seen.

[Stough]

I just checked out the Pacific Map. It would appear that I can’t just strut around the Pacific prior to war being declared. Goodbye my sweet transports- we hardly knew thee.

[Stough]

A rude shock, but I will persevere despite the futility of the exercise.

[mainah]

@Stough
Uk declaring war early has its serious draw backs - i have done it 2 times poorly, went horribly for me. But 4 loaded trans sunk was too much to pass up. This will set J back 2 turns.
The fleet position was also sub optimal. It cant move as well compared to the carolines. Some or most should be there. A harbor on Hainan is also a very common J2 and really anytime onward purchase for similar reasons.

[mainah]

Japan can attack all but the philipines, not declare war on usa and usa cant declare war till END of turn 3.

[Stough]

Oh, I think it’s game over changer. Didn’t think that UK could do it for some reason. My fault for not taking more time to familiarize myself with the rules.

[Stough]

We’ll see what damage I can do despite the setback.

[mainah]

Thats how i felt when you destroyed my russian tanks, mechs, and airpower early last game.

[Stough]

Live and you learn.
