Try out this UHD map with France Going First as a balancing mechanic for G40i. Let me know what you think.
Also want to point out that I have the option to scramble 5 fighters into 109, just for consideration. Won’t obviously if you are okay with your G2 as it is.
You can go ahead and scramble your Ftrs if you like. I had forgotten about that, but that doesn’t really change anything.
I do now realize that I meant to put two Ftrs, rather than 1 Ftr and 1 Tac, on the AC in z112.
So go ahead and scramble if you like.
no scramble…
Heh! I knew it! Anyway, don’t forget that I switched out the TAC for a Ftr on the AC. Have fun with the Russia move.
:-D

Lost one guy in Yun. Hop was perfect.
NCM:
Continue to push through China (on the map)
Fleets move to z36
1 Trn picks up 2 Inf in Siam, drops them in Kwa
1 Trn moves from z36 to z34
Some planes land on the ACs on z36.
Naval base placed on Hainan. The 8 Inf placed on Jpn, naturally.
Japan collects 42 IPCs. 32 from land and 10 from NO.
I’m headed to bed (Thailand time, and I keep strange hours). I’ll be up around 1 AM EST to post Italy’s turn if you have time to get USA/CHina/UK done. If not, no big deal.
This is a really fun game, I gotta say! Loving this.
Me too. Have to have dinner with my wife and exercise anyway. I’ll try to have it done by then. I’m in Indiana myself. Good game so far.
