If you do that, please dont assume anything. I want options

Sorry for the delay - nasty weather in the area. I decided not to attack 35 and instead hit 36. I did assume you didn’t want to scramble against 9 bombers.

I think I would have won attacking 35, but it would have depended completely on 1 US bomber taking out the AB to prevent scrambles against the UK, ANZAC, & USSR waves. I didn’t want to leave the game in Marti’s hands.

yeah, I didnt really cnsider the AB bombing by USA when I did my japan move…

No problem. Take as much time as you need. I’m in no hurry. In fact, I’d be good if you want to call it a draw and discuss. If not, it seems Marti will be the one deciding this game. FYI - I doubt I’ll ever see the board like this again as you have caused me to change my opening in 2 ways - no more Yunnan stack bid & blocking Japan from taking Sumatra on J2.

[oysteilo]

Are you offering a draw? Good to have that sorted out before I move Germany. I will seriously consider it.

Sure, if that’s allowed around here (I may have been playing online chess too much recently). I’m dealing with a software conversion at work that’s turning into a nightmare, and need to cut back on my playing time.

[oysteilo]

there is no such thing as a draw in here, so if we agree on a draw the game is not scored. It means we are just walking away from it and noone is claiming it

is that what you want/offer?

Sure. I’m dealing with a ton at work right now and won’t have time to think through a turn until the weekend at least. PM sent.

[oysteilo]

I am fine with calling it a draw if you are too. It means none of us will post a win or a claimed victory. I am happy o discuss the game but wont do that before hear from you

It’s a draw then. Thanks, this is going to help me out - I’m not sure if I have the time for one game much less the four I was playing.

Thanks for the game. You are very challenging opponent and I hope to get to play you again when I have more time. Your Japanese reaction to my Allied attack was one of the best I’ve dealt with. You forced me to learn a couple of new tactics, but I was always a turn too late setting them up in this game.

[oysteilo]

I have always wanted to buy a ton of bombers with USA and the way you do it works pretty well, but it comes at a high price. If you had keept moscow a couple of more rounds (which i think you could have, with a little more planning) I am confident I would have lost. What makes your play so potent is that you can land your bombers in china after attacking the japanese and I think there is were the russians come into play, well done
