Odd…

Are you doing play by email or play by forum?

I always do play by email, then just copy and paste the turn summaries and upload the file onto this thread.

@SuperbattleshipYamato

@SuperbattleshipYamato

Is there something wrong?

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@cds

No, I’m just thinking and figuring out how to respond. Not the best player of the European Axis, nor do I have the most fun (I’ve always preferred the Pacific side).

[cds]

@SuperbattleshipYamato

Okay, no worries. I dont look at winning or losing the game, but instead at the experience I get out of it. I already count that as a win.
Perhaps after the game we share our thoughts about the game, learn from each other.

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@cds

Agreed.

@SuperbattleshipYamato @cds
Guys, FYI I have changed the topic of your Game thread to match the standards.

[cds]

@Panther

Thanks!

[cds]

@SuperbattleshipYamato

Hope you made some progress yet with figuring it out, like I said its all about the experience, next time you’ll know what can be improved. So lets play :)

By the way I did come up with an alternate set of plays for Italy’s turn 1 in this exact situation (in my head). Would you like me to play those out as well and show it to you? Thank you!

Sure, lets see it. Guess you can have multiple scenarios with Italy in the first round :) Especially when your fleet survived at Taranto.
