[Mistergreen]

I’ll call a pause, we may alter our ncm…

[Mistergreen]

If it doesn’t matter to Italy whether the British bb is in sz55 or sz46 feel free to proceed with Italy otherwise I ask that you wait until our team has discussed this issue and potentially altered our ncm.

[wheatbeer]

It probably doesn’t matter to Italy.

You can reserve the right to move it if Italy goes before you decide.

[Mistergreen]

Splendid.  :-)

[Nothing to see here]

Would you be okay if we maybe redid the turn there’s somthing wrong that we won’t be able to change with moving around a few NCM or would this be too much in your opinion.
We’re not quite decided if it’s really necessary but if you won’t allow it it’s a mood point anyway.

[Mistergreen]

To be more specific it was the American turn that went a little of course due to miscommunication. So the “turn” we are asking to redo is the whole US-China-UK turn.

[Gully]

…well, I think it will if we say what we want to change. We had some miscommunication, one saying “that seazone is safe” and the other one doing moves, thinking he meant another seazone.

What we actually want to change is putting the small Newguinea-fleet to sz55 (NothernTerr-Seazone), where the rest of the fleet is standing. That means in the Newguinea-Battle we have only 1inf 1art 1tac (tac from Queensland to Car-sz55), we would reroll that battle (ingame we won it with 1inf 1art 2fgt) with forum-dice.

But it’s a question of you allowing that. If you say “no”, we’ll have to say goodbye to our small fleet and continue.

[Mistergreen]

Another example of miscommunication the proposed seazone was sz54 since that fleet can’t reach sz55. :-)

[wheatbeer]

Since one of your land units hit and 3 planes weren’t actually necessary, I don’t see the need to re-roll New Guinea.  If you adjust your fleet positions based on the freedom of not having sent fighters from SZ56, that’s fine with me.

I hope that’s cool with kilroy (if not, we can let Gargantua decide) … in the meantime you can post an adjusted map.

[Nothing to see here]

I’ll get to it soon.

So here’s our modified map as you can see we just moved over the ships from Z46 to Z54.
