@gamerman01

very kind! let me reconsider indeed - but I am totally fine with leaving as is, too. Only because I didn’t roll dice I wanna at least take second look … enjoy your meal meanwhile ;)

LOL I didn’t realize I didn’t finish typing. I really didn’t want to surprise you that way.
You’re playing so many games

Change your placement how you want - that’s why I said something

“placement” does include movement in this case?

Oh yes that’s what I meant. Play it like you knew the 2 bombers were there the whole time

It’s not too bad for you anyway - Hawaii is surrounded by little green men but please do how you like, it’s what I expected

[pacifiersboard]

@gamerman01

at the moment I am hesitating at accepting your generous favor - so I guess that I should go to bed now and redo tomorrow from US turn on . Glad that no combat had occurred! A pleasure to play this game with you

[gamerman01]

I’m really happy you appreciate,
Take your time, I sure do

I don’t feel it’s generous, given all circumstances I want you to know what’s there, you certainly would face to face, 1 vs 1

And It’s not a bad move at all what you did, Caro transport can reach Hawaii and it’s very truck to navigate anyway. But still, make sure you get the move you want

[gamerman01]

Tricky. On a phone.

@gamerman01

not that many changes in the end … but to be admitted that I didn’t move US dd from sz81 now - might also affect your scramble decision off Rome though I doubt it

[gamerman01]

Oh wow, that is a dramatic change, which is fine

Yes, US destroyer affects the decision, but you’re right I still won’t scramble, and subs will submerge

[pacifiersboard]

@gamerman01

I didn’t consider it a dramatic change so I can be mistaken … good to go for rolling UK dice?

[gamerman01]

Yes, it’s all good, I was just stunned that you went with a very different approach off California and no airbase, so am adjusting to the new strategy! It feels like a better approach!

No dice were rolled at all, so I’m glad I invited you to change it up and I’m glad you felt free to do so! Game on!

Normally I have a lot of discretionary time…
Today I just met my biggest deadline of the year, and my pace has picked up a bit,

but as a playoff game this is my highest priority game and I won’t slow down too much I don’t think

I’m concerned about the Russian stack stepping on the backs of my jackboots, but I don’t wake up in a cold sweat about them. Yet.

My army is thrilled they moved South from Stalingrad, but not too happy about the middle eastern topography either.

Didn’t Alexander the Great get bogged down in India? It’s a big place.
