My apologies, I messed things up because I was just clicking mindlessly through the GUI and not paying enough attention to what was happening. I allowed a bombard on Belgium, and since the BB scored a hit, the game engine cancelled the rolls for the rest of the UK troops, so I have no way to know if my other forces there would have all missed and you could have survived if everything happened properly. I had to load an autosave to get my units to roll and I took off the hit scored by your defender in the prior rolling for that battle.

No worries. It happens.

Sadly (for me, YMMV) we’re now in the part of the game that I find least enjoyable (for many A&A games in general, not this particular session with you).

Why?

Once the mid-game hits, most of the action at the periphery has resolved and our overall end-game strategies are probably locked in. At this stage I get frustrated sitting back watching my opponent make unblockable moves, and just quietly building up until I have a massive preponderance somewhere is the most boring section of the game for me.

Not sure why you converted the SZ6 Mine, since they cannot be captured.

@Eqqman Ottomans attacked Greece and scored 11 hits. How do you want them?

[Eqqman]

@The_Good_Captain
Interesting, I didn’t know if you would make a play for Greece or not, so I declined to scoop up Albania & Serbia as UK to give the defense there its best shot and moved into Ankara earlier than I wanted to try and discourage a play there (in Greece).

Please remove 9 US Infantry and 2 UK Infantry.

@The_Good_Captain
Are the units in France correct? I see a damaged French tank which should not be there unless you used Edit Mode to damage it before the dice were rolled (which you should do, to make sure there are no issues when assigning damage to Tanks on defense). However I don’t see any use of Edit Mode in the log.
