@peirce said in L25 OOB Peirce (+34) v Gamerman01:

@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.

2nd post is with edit,
1st post if you want to disallow
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 Same to you! I already posted my “Franzac” turn 20 minutes ago, using your 2nd post.

@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

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

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.

@gamerman01 All good, let it ride.
