End of US1. Proceeding with R2 later, tomorrow night. You are a great opponent! :-)

Check out the ‘toolbar’ at the bottom, we can record turns (1st row) and IPC there (2nd row), and capitals possession (last row). I have no idea what the 3rd row is…

well only during the week (monday-thursday)

[Spitfire38]

I’m very sorry about the Sub in Hawaii… I completely forgot I didn’t have a Destroyer. you can keep it if you want- my mistake, your benefit :) And for AC, you’re right. I’ve been playing Europe and Global, so I’m a bit fuzzy on the rules for 1942  :|

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised with my J1. Russia will be the crucial turn to see whether my luck goes south… we’ll see!

[gambit78]

It’s ok about the sub, honest mistake. I won’t take it back…me having a sub might have changed your mind about buying a Japanese sub and instead a destroyer. Too many what-ifs.

Yes R2 is going to be interesting. I hate these huge battles personally…more a fan of small tactical skirmishes.

[Spitfire38]

I assume you placed the last fighter you bought (3) on WUS as well? You only placed 2

[Spitfire38]

That’s why I like Global…or at least Europe or Pacific. There’s more room to maneuver and act tactically…not as many choke points

[gambit78]

Yes I left out the new fighter. In WUS now.

[Spitfire38]

Wow, that’s insane- talk about bad dice!
I should have seen a blitz possibility; that was dumb of me.
I’ll see if I can get to G2 tonight- I’m really busy, but I’ll try.

[gambit78]

Yeah, the East Europe “weakness” with a juicy bomber target was the reason i launched the UK amphi assault on Karelia, to soften the way for a russian blitz, but now all for naught…

[Spitfire38]

Well I commend your strategy regardless- I wouldn’t have thought of that.

Now to G2
