@gamerman01 Hah! Yes I was worried about those dangerous Japanese transports, they seemed the most pressing of targets… 😅

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 Apologies, if you allow a small edit I forgot part of my NCM as UK Pacific, I was going to occupy Celebes with 2 infantry.

edited the transport, 2 infantry and IPCs.

[gamerman01]

Sure, thanks for politely asking,
Is at end of UK turn so definitely no problem

I dislike playing the Axis because I don’t like getting surrounded and pecked at over and over again.
I’d rather try to stop the steam-roll

You know what? I think your forgot the bomber on Iceland.

[gamerman01]

And I’ll let you move it.

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 ok thanks! moved it to Gib

[gamerman01]

That is just about the biggest possible fleet you can have in the Med at UK2

Don’t worry, I’ll figure something out.

Triple A doesn’t conduct a battle like this properly.
There is a good chance that casualty choices will be required before they should be.

Like right away. My sub scored a hit with MARTI and it asks for a casualty choice but you don’t have to choose until you see the whole attack roll because you have a destroyer (or THREE)

I had to let it roll the sub in order to post the game map.
So it is posted, and I will roll the rest of the dice on forum so that the battle can be done properly.

[gamerman01]

I also want a little time spacing here (time stamps from MARTI e-mail and time stamps in forum) so that it is clear that everything was done properly. So not doing anything until I hear back.

[gamerman01]

I wish TripleA would be fixed to do these correctly.

[gamerman01]

I don’t know you very well yet, but I don’t think you’ll protest first die roll on MARTI, then post map, then go to forum so that you can see the entire Italian dice roll for round 1 and then pick casualties.

[gamerman01]

Well that’s deflating,

3 hits, one from a sub not that that will matter,

What do you take?

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 damage carrier and lose 2 subs please.

[gamerman01]

I don’t want ask this, but are you sure?
Did you look at the map?

[Stucifer]

@gamerman01 Ah, again PtV brain strikes and I discounted the air forces in Western Germany. Thank you for your consideration. 2 subs and 1 destroyer please.

[gamerman01]

You’re welcome,
You only have to half thank me, because I also benefit knowing that you will not later be upset

I’m afraid of the dice I’m about to roll.

[gamerman01]

I am also impressed when I saw you are playing PtV and took a crazy 4 IPC tech token OOB game
