@gamerman01 Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Japan turn go so perfectly. Was a good move, but Allies got catastrophic dice all around. Going to be tough going.

It’s been some time since I had that kind of luck. That wasn’t an easy move. I was a little surprised to see what kind of pressure you had put on before J2 even came up. It doesn’t take long to see what kind of skills a new opponent has

[gamerman01]

Hm, quite good luck yourself! Even the unprecedented US2 convoy on Brazil missed! So did my transports at the Philippines I clearly thought were safe.

Game on

[peirce]

@gamerman01 Haha, yes, that 2 PU windfall is really going to supercharge the US war effort.

[gamerman01]

I2 and the game is almost frenzied - it’s a lot of time and energy to play G40 but it’s quite the experience!

Now how do I deal with a power move on Rome…

I forgot the guy in Africa when doing the combat move.
I don’t mind if you disallow.
If we were playing on a board it’s easier to see, but whatever you decide.

There’s merit to staying in Italian Somaliland anyway, but the walk in is a bit better and what I intended.

@gamerman01 All good, I miss that with Italy all the time. No combat, and no difference to combat move, so happy to allow. I’m very permissive with edits.

[gamerman01]

That’s nice to know, thanks,

Yes it’s a good policy to not be strict on edits or it’s only fair that they will be strict with you.

I am pretty excited to play a new (and friendly) player. I’m also finding that I’m doing different things than in the past, so I’m either learning and growing, or I’ve forgotten the lessons I learned years ago and am regressing. A “Balanced Mod” detour for about 7 years has a lot to do with it. Nice to be back to OOB, and a 34 bid isn’t that much higher than what we used to play years ago, here.

Have a thrilling FRANZAC turn!

@gamerman01 It’s just after your post about having forgotten - I had already done the turn using your second post, happened about the same time. I just advanced it to the German turn and posted, hope that one works.

It’s there now! Thanks for reposting
Maybe that power move on the Mediterranean has me disoriented

[gamerman01]

Wow! That shocked me. I thought the Russians were taking Iraq. Was a really nice non-take by the British

[gamerman01]

Wait, you play other versions.

Did you forget that Russia gets +3 per turn for Iraq in OOB? You can change it if you want. I’m sitting down to do G3 so will proceed because it doesn’t matter to me.
