All my posts are getting flagged as sp*m… The Italian inf lost out, trust me. I’ll notify the moderator and they’ll show up. You can do Germany’s turn. Here’s a corrected map (placed ANZAC builds).

yeah baby!

[tinydictator]

actually, no convoy raid in sz125, as Germany is still in peace with Russia (Though I assume that now Stalin will let drop this sharade of peacefulness of his)

so Germany 98 IPC.

And actually ANZAC earns 21+6 (they have both of their NOs)

Map with updated income and NOs attached.

another correction: the sub from sz112 does not go to sz91, it stays where it is.

(45 I mean)

[tinydictator]

45 for Russia is not bad either, but having Finland for 1 or 2 turns is not going to save your bolshevik ass. Btw I do not need to get to Moscow as long as I keep London and Egypt.

Oh and you get thoroughly convoy raided in Korea:

Wow, that is some sorry dice-rolling! I roll with 16 in DGu and hit NONE, and I roll with 17 in Hawaii and hit one…

I assume you take the hit in Hawaii on the AA.

Cha retreats.

1 Ftr gets shot down in Yun. I’ll need to know your OOL for Yun.

THIS BATTLE IN HAWAII IS A BAD JOKE!!!

Do you take the hit in Yun on the AA or on another Inf? Obviously I retreat now.

Hawaii: 1 Tank vs 3 Inf
Rolls: 1@3; Total Hits: 11@3: (1)
Rolls: 3@2; Total Hits: 13@2: (3, 2, 5)

[tinydictator]

This is pathetic. Do you know why I did not send the Ftr in the battle? Because I considered that it was clearly unnecessary and I didnt want to expose him to the AA. The only way how this turn could have gone possibly worse is if the DD in sz54 had shot down my sub.

[Pakitho]

:-o I knew my luck was going to change!  :-D All of those guys are getting purple hearts.

Don’t say ‘it couldn’t have gone worse’, you still have the Yunnan fight… I take the hit on the AA.

[Pakitho]

Small consolation: if I had rolled this awesome during Sea Lion, the game would be over…

[tinydictator]

Non-combat move:

1 Ftr (sz54); 1 sub, 1 AC, 1 Ftr, 1 Tac (sz6) -> sz26
1 DD (sz6) -> sz33
1 AC (sz46); 1 Ftr, 1 Tac (DGu) -> sz45
1 Bmb (sz54) -> Car
1 Ftr (Cha) -> Man
2 Ftr, 3 Tac, 1 Bmb (Yun); 1 Inf, 1 AA (Anh); 1 Inf (Kwe) -> Hun

Build:
1 Minor IC in Hon
Jap: 1 Trn, 1 sub, 2 Inf, 1 Ftr

This turn really killed me in the Pacific. I can’t eat as much as I would like to vomit. I lost 2 Inf in DGu, which really hurts and of course Hawaii is nothing but desaster. Instead of shifting 6 IPC from the US to Japan and having an operational port under my ass, I have to creep back somewhere safe now. I guess I should take this as a lesson not even to take tiny chances in battles as important as this one.

The map is attached.

PS: You hit above average in Yunnan too, and your AA got a Fighter. I wouldn’t call that a lucky battle for me.

This is the correct map again.

I guess I indeed have still very good odds winning this game on the Atlantic side of the map. Its nonetheless frustrating to see your entire strategy go bust on an outcome as ridiculous as this.
