If we’re playing with the latest Alpha+3 setup, the cruisers in SZ112 have been moved to SZ110 and SZ111. In attachment is a map with the setup from harrisgamedesign.

You can adjust your move (including the attack on the US if you want…).

Our flyboys did nice, the navy not so much… I can’t type my Ussr move now, but I’m buying all art and saving the rest, and pulling out of the eastern front and Amur. If this is enough for Japan’s move go ahead, otherwise wait for it tomorrow…

[Pakitho]

In Alpha+3, you raid during your turn (instead of being raided), so you don’t get raided in SZ93 and you get to raid Canada and East USA - I thought this was part of your masterplan of attacking the US  :wink:

I’ll roll for you

Alright, so Germany’s income is 73, UK Europe gets raided for 2 and the US for another 2.

Also, after the Combat round, lets list the results and total casualties, so we don’t have to check the map (for example, it took me a while to figure out you had taken the last hit on the fighter and not the battleship in SZ111).

[tinydictator]

Sure, I can spell out casualties. A propos the battle in SZ 111: If you wouldn’t mind, I would shift the last hit from the fighter to the tactical bomber. Let me know if that is all right with you (no drama if it isn’t).

Convoy: As I understand the A+3 rules, convoy damage is still done in the collect income phase. But I’m perfectly fine with doing it like this. Actually I think this way is much cooler, it gives more incentives for raiding.

Let’s have a look of the empire of the rising sun then.
